I had the same reaction when I did that math. Eye-opening, to say the least.
For the smoothie, you can mix it up, but I go with this basic scheme every day:
1-2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder
1-2 tablespoons of ground flax meal
a handful of fresh spinach (trust me, you won't taste it, but it adds a LOT of nutrients)
a cup or so of frozen fruit of your choice. I have used almost everything I can find: pineapple, banana, strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, peaches, etc. If I can't find it frozen, I buy a bunch of whatever fruit is on sale, cut it up and freeze it myself.
Fill it up with a liquid of your choice to make sure it blends well - I use unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk because it's low calorie and I'm trying to lose weight, but I've also tried orange juice, drinkable yogurt, kefir, and other such things. You can use whatever liquid you want though.
And that's it. Blend it up into smoothie form and enjoy. One caveat: drink/eat it quickly and with a glass of water - the psyllium husk absorbs a ton of liquid and it can be a little thicker than you want if you let it sit for more than 20-30 minutes. The fiber takes up volume in your stomach as it absorbs water, it keeps you ahem regular, and everything in the recipe is so nutrient dense that it gives your body a lot to chew on, so to speak. A lot of the ingredients for these smoothies come off of this list the ANDI scale which is a rough guide to how much nutrition you get per calorie out of certain foods. Higher scores = more nutrient density = higher efficiency diet.
Disclaimer: if it works for you, awesome! If not, try something else, or meet with a nutritionist. I used the advice of a health counselor service I get through work, but if you go to any Whole Foods, you can schedule an appointment with their "healthy eating specialist" for free, and they can be remarkably helpful.

Side note. The yeast will eat any of the sugar from the maple syrup or honey. I really do suggest visiting the website for a more detailed analysis https://www.gnom-gnom.com/gluten-free-paleo-keto-pizza-crust/ .
I find that using golden flax meal when baking cookies gives them that "oatmeal" feel! Bob's Red Mill has done me well (https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Organic-Flaxseed/dp/B001O8PRZA/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=golden+flaxseed&qid=1564402075&s=gateway&sr=8-5)
