Description
These three low-sugar smoothie recipes actually taste like dessert, proving that healthy food doesn’t have to be boring!
Ingredients
Apple Pie Smoothie:
1 small container of plain coconut yogurt, about 5 ounces
1/4 cup of nut milk, I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 of an apple, diced and frozen (any apple will work, although I prefer Granny Smith apples as they are low FODMAP and low-sugar)
3 Tablespoons of unsweetened apple sauce
1 Tablespoon of raw cashews
1 serving size of vanilla plant-based protein powder
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Black Forest Cake Smoothie:
1 cup of nut milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
Serving size of your favorite chocolate plant-based protein powder
1/4 cup of gluten-free rolled oats
1/3 cup of frozen cherries
1/2 zucchini, sliced and frozen
1 Tablespoon of cacao or cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Zucchini Bread Smoothie:
1 cup of unsweetened nut milk
Serving size of your favorite chocolate protein powder
1/2 banana, sliced and frozen
1/2 zucchini, sliced and frozen
1 Tablespoon hemp seeds or 1 Tablespoon of nut butter (or both if you like;)
1 Tablespoon of cacao or cocoa powder
Instructions
The instructions are the same for all of these recipes:
1.) Place ingredients in a blender, starting with the milk and yogurt first then the rest of the ingredients, and blend and enjoy!
Notes
If you are not dairy-free, feel free to use your favorite when protein and dairy-based yogurt.
If you are out of zucchini, try blending fresh spinach – that works too.
