Around 5L of blood in your body, so about 3L of red blood cells, plasma, and white blood cells.

Explanation:

From this website,

https://www.livescience.com/32213-how-much-blood-is-in-the-human-body.html

It says that the adult human body has an average of 5L of blood, but about 3L are red blood cells, white blood cells, and other cells.

I think it varies from person to person, as some suffer from anemia, which reduces the number of red blood cells. In conclusion, there is no definite volume.

An average male has approximately "5 L" of blood volume. Females and children have less. Just under 45% is composed of red blood cells.

Explanation:

An average male has approximately "5 L" of blood volume. Females and children have less. Slightly less than 55% of the blood is plasma, the liquid portion which consists of a mixture of proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones and gases. Just over 45% of the blood is the cellular component (formed elements), containing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which are pieces of cells from the bone marrow.
