A smoothie template:

Choosing your add ins carefully will ensure the calories and sugar don’t get away from you. Here’s a guide to help you blend up your own signature smoothie:

  1. Liquid: Start with a fluid base like milk, almond milk or another plant based milk.

  2. Fruit & Veg: use 1/2 cup fruit or 1c if berries to keep carbs in check. You can add vegetables like spinach, beets or cauliflower if you like an extra fibre & vitamin boost.

  3. Protein: Add a protein booster such as Greek or Icelandic yogurt, choosing plain will limit added sugars. Protein keeps you filling full longer.

  4. Flavour: You can add spices or flavourings like cinnamon, vanilla or mint to boost flavour without adding sugar. A teaspoon of honey or maple syrup is not off limits. This adds less than 20 calories and about 5 grams of sugar.

  5. Healthy Fats & Fibre: To further keep you going strong and satisfied, add some healthy fats and extra fibre from nuts, nut butters or seeds. Blend, adding ice if desired and enjoy!
