    Easy low sugar green smoothie

    This simple green smoothie is one of my go-to breakfasts and snacks. It’s also a fantastic way to reset after a long night (ahem, if you know what I mean) or if you’re feeling off-balance (like, say, after the holidays). It’s creamy, nourishing and alkalizing, and it has enough protein to keep you going.

    Creamy green smoothie

    This smoothie gets its creaminess Almond Breeze™ Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk, which provides a delicious hint of almond flavor and a great smooth texture that is so refreshing. It’s perfect for this particular smoothie because its naturally sweet with no added sugar and just 30 calories per cup. Almond Breeze a staple in my house, especially since my youngest daughter and I are sensitive to lactose (it’s also the almondmilk we use for dairy-free baking).

    Instead of using chalky protein powders, which are often loaded with sugar (and who knows what else), this smoothie gets a protein boost from all-natural nut butter, flax seeds and chia seeds (you can also add collagen powder if you want a bigger protein boost). I love the flavor of peanut butter in this smoothie but also often use almond butter. For a nut-free smoothie, go for sunflower seed butter instead.

    Sugar free no fruit green smoothie

    You can either make a low sugar smoothie with just half a banana, or you can make a no sugar smoothie using stevia instead. Stevia is an all-natural, no-calorie sweetener made from an herbal shrub native to South America. It’s sold in liquid form or as a powder (I use this liquid stevia). Stevia tastes much sweeter than sugar, so a little bit goes a long way. Since all brands differ, you will need to get to know the brand you have and adjust the amount you use to your own tastes (stevia can taste quite strong if you’re new to it, but you’ll become more accustomed to it the more you use it).

    High fiber smoothie

    This smoothie gets a fantastic fiber boost from greens, flax seeds and chia seeds.

    What greens to put in a smoothie?

    For this simple green smoothie I prefer to use baby spinach, baby kale or a “power greens” mix, which are all mild in flavor. Since there are so few ingredients, stronger tasting greens, such as mature kale or Swiss chard, will overpower the other flavors.

    Ingredients:

    All of the ingredients for the smoothie arranged on a marble surface.
    • Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk: Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk gives the smoothie an ultra creamy texture and provides a delicious flavor without any added sugar.
    • Frozen banana or stevia to taste: This smoothie is sweetened either with half a frozen banana OR with stevia (using stevia will make the smoothie completely sugar free).
    • Baby spinach, baby kale and/or “power greens” mix: Fresh greens amp up the nutritional value of this smoothie by adding important vitamins and minerals. I prefer to use baby greens or a “power greens” mix, which are mild in flavor.
    • Peanut butter or almond butter (or any nut or seed butter you like!): Nut butter provides protein and healthy fats, which are necessary for nutrient absorption.
    • Ground flax seeds: Ground flax seeds are a great source of fiber and also provide protein (they also thicken the smoothie).
    • Chia seeds: Chia seeds boost the fiber and protein content further and also help to thicken the smoothie.
    • Sea salt: A pinch of sea salt provides electrolytes and balances the flavors.
    • Spirulina or other “green” powder and/or collagen powder (optional): You have the choice to add a green powder (this is the one I use) for added vitamins and minerals and/or collagen powder for added protein.

    How to make a simple green smoothie:

    Pour the almond milk into a blender container, then add the remaining ingredients. Blend on high until smooth. If you have a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix you’ll only need to blend for about 30 seconds. Other blenders might take up to 1-2 minutes.

    You can drink the smoothie right away, or you can let it sit for up to 1 hour before drinking. If you let it sit, the flax and chia seeds will thicken the smoothie slightly.

    Should I add ice to the smoothie?

    The ice in this smoothie is optional. I personally don’t like super cold drinks, especially during fall and winter. If you’re like me, then I suggest omitting the ice (the smoothie will still be chilled from the almond milk). However, if you prefer your smoothies frosty, then go for it!
