T I P S
- If you’re new to low sugar smoothies you can always add half a banana or apple to help bridge the gap until your taste buds adjust to the lower sugar quantity.
- Add veggies to increase the nutrients and the volume of each smoothie. These are optional and we recommend you adjust to the low sugar smoothie first, then get creative with vegetables.
- You may taste the cauliflower more than the zucchini, so if you can’t decide which veggie to add, start with the zucchini first.
- Have fun with the flavors, low sugar fruits, sneaky vegetables and protein options. If you make a smoothie variation that you love, share it with others!
