Please understand that the difference between all natural sugar and processed sugar is NONE. You body views sugar in the same way, insulin is produced to shuttle it away and unless your very active it gets turned into fat and stored. There is no way that this is a "weight loss" smoothie. Great blender, but old dogma recipe’s which are not all healthy.
Truvia is not pure, it is made in a plant like regular sugar. Pure Stevia is the way to go if you are trying to be natural.
I’ve been drinking smoothies like this one for a little over a year now as my breakfast. I’ve lost a little over 115lb. Now, having said that. I didn’t just go to green smoothies for breakfast, I changed my whole nutrition plan. And it helps that I Cycle about 200 miles a week, and run 15 to 20 miles a week. Add Yoga and strength on top of that, Ya…I have to have the sugar and carbs to burn for fuel. This is not a smoothie for the sedentary or lightly active person. So ya, the only way I would consider this a "weight loss" smoothie is if it’s used as fuel for the moderate to very active person.
First green smoothie I have tried. Very impressed. Been trying to get in my 5 fruits and veggies/day and this takes care of 3 1st thing in the morning :)
I find it extremely disheartening that people are so negative writing these reviews. Blentec is not YOUR personal nutritionist and therefore writes recipes for people with wildly different nutrition needs! If there is too much sugar in it, leave out the fruit, or just DON’T MAKE THE RECIPE. Constructive and helpful criticism is a wonderful thing but just bashing a recipe because it has fruit it in is just ignorant. This recipe is a fantastic way to get a very picky five year old the vitamins she needs.
