Blueberry Vanilla Smoothie

Are you looking for an easy, healthy breakfast that can be made in less than 5 minutes? Then, look no further! This low sugar smoothie is balanced with adequate protein, fat, veggies, and fiber so it not only tastes delicious, but is also very satiating. I love this breakfast because it keeps me feeling satiated for hours so I don’t feel the need to snack in between meals.

Why I Love This Low Sugar Smoothie:

  • Takes less than 5 minutes to make!
  • Only requires one step to make- blend the ingredients!
  • Recipe is both gluten free and vegan
  • It is very satisfying and keeps me feeling full for hours

Ingredients in Blueberry Vanilla Smoothie:

Blueberries: This smoothie is low in sugar as it doesn’t contain much fruit. The only fruit that it contains is 1/4 cup of berries, which is a lower sugar fruit.

Frozen Riced Cauliflower: This is my favorite smoothie addition! It adds bulk to the smoothie and gives it a creamy texture, without adding flavor.

Almond Milk: Use store bought or make your own almond milk. You can substitute the almond milk with any nondairy milk.

Peanut Butter: Use an all natural peanut butter without any added sugar or oil. You can substitute the peanut butter with any nut or seed butter.

Vanilla Protein Powder: Choose your favorite brand of vanilla protein powder.

Note: Not all protein powders are safe to consume during pregnancy. If pregnant, consult your doctor or dietitian prior to consuming protein powders.

Chia Seeds: These are a great source of fiber and make the smoothie taste very satisfying.

Cinnamon: Adds a hint of cinnamon flavor to smoothies. I love adding cinnamon to almost all of my smoothies.

Toppings: Top your smoothie bowl with cacao nibs and extra chia seeds for an added crunch!
