There is sugar in it, but it is all natural sugars from fruit so it isn’t the process crap you get in other "treats."
I have been told and read that one should not combine vegetables with fruit…..as it causes gas and bloating. Yet I see lots of blended smoothies containing both????
Hi Jan. You can use coconut water in place of the orange juice.
This is super healthy and my daughters loved it!! Of course substitutions can be made as we all are different, but no need for harsh criticism. It’s not like this is the only food you will have all day. Our middle daughter has type 1 diabetes and would much rather give her this than processed foods and other crap that is out there. I appreciate the recipe. Thank you, Blendtec
If you currently don’t consume much fiber and then significantly increase your fiber intake over a short period, you may experience these problems. However, if you slowly increase your fiber intake, you shouldn’t have a problem. Even if you currently don’t consume much fiber, this recipe shouldn’t cause problems because it contains only 3 grams of fiber per serving.
