Question about daily meal smoothie (from a new guy)

Hello all! New to these parts, and I have a question. As part of my diet (losing weight atm, not building muscle), I've decided to try drinking a smoothie daily as a meal replacement. I messed around with a recipe I like to get one at about 500 calories, mostly consisting of almond milk, protein powder, chia seeds, a bit of honey, peanut butter powder, and freeze-dried kale powder. All of those things I'm sure are fine.

My real question is: I've been adding 1 tsp of Metamucil and 1 tsp of Potassium Citrate recently. Is that considered safe/healthy in the long run? Especially the Potassium Citrate I'm unsure of; so long as it's mixed with enough liquid and I don't have too high daily potassium MG intake, is it safe to take daily or does it have side effects?

And then after those 2, depending on the answers, follow-up questions: Could I make this smoothie a twice-daily thing? 2 smoothies + 1 meal totaling between 1500 and 2000 calories. And at that point would THAT be too much of the Metamucil and Potassium Citrate.

Thanks for entertaining my ignorance about all of this!
