Tips to make Low Sugar Green Smoothie

  • Switch up the greens: Kale or Swiss chard are awesome substitutes for spinach.

  • Protein boost: Consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a filling meal replacement.

Variation

Want to switch things up? Add a scoop of your favorite nut butter for a nutty twist or toss in some frozen mango for a tropical vibe. You can also make it vegan by using plant-based protein or leave out the avocado if you prefer a lighter texture.
