Delicious!!!! I used PB2 (found at target – 85% less fat than peanut butter) instead and the dates were a sweet added flavor!!! I love my Blendtec and use it everyday!!! I loved the color too! I enjoy seeing all the wonderful recipes I can make with my new toy!
I use frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries and a half of banana. I have them all measured out in a baggie and place them in the freezer so in the morning I just put in my almond milk, power greens, flax seed and frozen fruit. makes things much easier when in hurry.( I also sprinkle a little stevia)
That’s only partly true. Fiber only affects the body’s insulin response and the rate in which the food is digested. Reducing effect carbs is not effective with high fructose (fruit sugars) carb sources such as fruit. It’s effective with fibrous carbs such those in the green leafy veggie category (Spinach, Broccoli, etc)
For the average sedentary person who does not exercise? No, excess fruit is not healthy for sedentary individuals, as it raises insulin in the body and gets stored as bodyfat very easily. Sedentary people should focus on green leafy vegetables, that don’t spike insulin, and don’t contain large amounts of fructose.
The smoothie as described is absolutely NOT low carb. Sugar is a form of carbohydrate, and this recipe has has 28gms of sugar.
