What I like to do is to freeze coconut milk or yoghurt in ice cubes and use those to keep the smoothie cool. It also gives it somewhat of a frappé-texture, which I personally like a lot. When you do that and add in some raw unsweetend chocolate powder and instant espresso powder it makes a nice sort of moccha-frappé-smoothie.

My new favorite smoothie - and one that is getting me excited for Fall - is a pumpkin pie smoothie! I blend together a cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup of pure pumpkin puree, a scoop of my favorite vanilla whey protein powder (adds protein of course and a little sweetness), a tsp of vanilla and some ground cinnamon (or any fall spice you want) - it's low in sugar and rich in taste and goodness!

Smoothie make it way to easy to eat a lot of fruit and with it sugar in a very short time, even without adding sweeteners. It is still a bit better than drinking juice where the sugar is not buffered in the slightest, but mixing too gets the sugar faster into the bloodstream, as if you would eat the fruit whole . . . People with autoimmune or other inflamatory issues realy should be mindful with them for both fructose and insulin can be harmful in that case. Fat, protein and fiber all help to slow the sugar absorbtion and lesen the fallout.

@louiseanderwin1 4 жыл бұрын

I have found that a dash of oil, some lemon juice or vinegar and a pinch of salt makes veges in a smoothie more palatable and less sugar is needed. Kind of like a cold soup or gazpacho. I start with cucumber or zucchini, add leafy greens like spinach, kale or beet tops, something yellow like carrots or golden beets, a stick of celery, spring onion and lastly herbs like mint or parsley. I then add either a third of a frozen banana or a small amount of mango, but not too much. It is surprisingly good. And at this time of year, all the veg comes direct from my garden.

Yes, love a good gazpacho and it's so easy to throw all that into a blender. Well done!

I used to make a smoothie with a couple of handfuls of kale & a cup of frozen blueberries. It's been a while, but I believe I used almond milk and sometimes yogurt, and a bit of cinnamon. You truly cannot taste the kale! Hoping you will be doing another Vitamix giveaway this year. This fellow Virgo - September 18 - could use one for sure!

You have some really great recipes here. This week I will pick up some ingredients and maybe experiment with some dragon fruit. I never thought of using cauliflower in a smoothie but it makes sense to thicken the texture and knock out the excess sugar of ordinarily using something such as a banana. Sugar is great, I still bake the occasional batch of cookies, but I no longer have the sweet tooth of my younger years and the health benefits of limiting it are also an obvious bonus. Also, early happy birthday!

I never thought of using frozen zuchini in a smoothie! That's a wonderful tip, thank you!

Yes, it's wonderful! It keeps it cold, adds a little heft and you can't even tell it's there. ;)

What is the difference? Is it better? Oo

@pawsomepeople344 4 жыл бұрын

@@ekelgedekel they both are nearly same & bit costly 😬. The only difference they have, is their manufacturer. Although if you are looking for a blender to buy. You must check this Bevo #portable blender. It is durable & affordable. www.bevo.fitness
