Blueberry-Zucchini Live Green Smoothie: “Extra-Low Glycemic Smoothie”
Posted by: Angela Leeds In: *LGS Daily Recipe
All berries are very low in sugar, so I tell all my clients not to use them as the primary fruit in a Live Green Smoothie, because they just won’t have enough sweetness to carry through — they will be too tart.
Paired with zucchini, however, and they seem to shine! The zucchini provides a blank background and mellow undertone to support the delicate berry flavor, making this the ideal smoothie for someone who is very sensitive to the sugar content of smoothies, whether or not they are “raw”.
If you don’t fall in that category and desire a bit more sweetness… no problem! Just add a heaping tablespoon or raw honey or a banana (or two)!
You can make this Live Green Smoothie recipe with or without fresh greens…
I’ve taken these photos without the addition of fresh greens, to show the lovely color of the blueberries showing through. And you don’t have to add greens. But know that if you’d like to enjoy a massive dose of antioxidants with your greens, it’s as simple as adding a heaping cup of parsley or baby spinach to the mix!
