We all know we’re supposed to watch our sugar intake. Eating too much
sugar (especially refined sugars) can lead to some serious health problems like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and obesity. It’s also very addictive and can damage our gut health by promoting the growth of unhealthy bacteria.Probiotics help replenish intestinal flora and restore balance to the gut. They can help tip the scale back towards good bacteria and away from bad bacteria, fungus and yeast, reducing sugar cravings. It’s also important to make sure you have some enjoyable recipes like this low-sugar smoothie bowl.
LOW-SUGAR GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL
Serves 2
Ingredients
For the smoothie:
½ avocado
1 kiwi fruit
1 cup kale
2 cups spinach
½ cup raspberries
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
½ teaspoon fresh ginger
1 cup almond milk
¼ cup almond milk yogurt (plus extra for swirling)
2 tablespoons almond butter
Toppings:
Sliced kiwi
Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Sliced almonds
Chia seeds
Instructions
Prepare your fruits and vegetables. Slice the avocado, peel and slice the kiwi fruit, remove the tough stems from the kale and tear the leaves into small pieces. Measure the spinach, raspberries, and hemp seeds; grate the ginger.
Measure the almond milk, almond yogurt, and almond butter. Place them in a high-speed blender with your prepped produce.
Blend until smoothie is creamy and thick, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
Divide the smoothie mixture between two bowls. Gently shake the bowls side to side and tap them on your kitchen counter to eliminate air bubbles.
If you like, you can add a few teaspoons of almond milk yogurt to the top of each bowl and swirl with a chopstick or the tip of a spoon. Garnish with desired toppings and enjoy immediately. Or, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a day.
