Healthy Sugar-Free Smoothie (Customizable Recipe)
Smoothies are one of the easiest and healthiest ways to start your day. They’re packed with nutrients, quick to make, and can be customized with different fruits, flavors, or protein.
Traditional smoothie recipes often contain added sugar, honey, or sweetened yogurt, which can increase calorie intake.
By using Good Sugar Monk Fruit Sweetener, you can enjoy the same delicious sweetness while avoiding refined sugar.
This recipe is designed to be fully customizable, so you can create different smoothie flavors depending on your preference.
Ingredients (Base Smoothie)
-
1 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut)
-
1 cup frozen or fresh fruit
-
½ cup yogurt (optional for creaminess)
-
1 scoop unflavoured whey protein (optional)
-
½ cup ice cubes
Sweetener Options
You can use either Good Sugar product:
Option 1 — Powder Sweetener
-
1–2 teaspoons Good Sugar Monk Fruit Powder
(1:1 sweetness compared to sugar)
Option 2 — Liquid Sweetener
-
1–2 drops Good Sugar Liquid Monk Fruit Sweetener
(1 drop ≈ 5g sugar sweetness)
Adjust sweetness according to taste.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Choose your base fruit and measure your ingredients.
Using frozen fruit helps create a thicker, creamier smoothie without needing additional ice.
Popular fruit options include:
-
Banana
-
Mango
-
Strawberry
-
Blueberry
-
Pineapple
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Add the following ingredients into a blender:
-
Milk or plant-based milk
-
Fruit of your choice
-
Yogurt (optional)
-
Ice cubes
-
Whey protein (optional)
Blending these ingredients together creates the smooth base of the smoothie.
Step 3: Add Sweetener
Now add your preferred Good Sugar sweetener.
Using Powder
Add 1–2 teaspoons Good Sugar Monk Fruit Powder.
Because the sweetness is 1:1 with sugar, you can replace sugar directly in the same amount.
Using Liquid
Add 1–2 drops Good Sugar Liquid Monk Fruit Sweetener.
Each drop is highly concentrated and provides sweetness roughly equal to 5 grams of sugar, so start small and adjust if needed.
Step 4: Blend Until Smooth
Blend everything for 30–45 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk.
If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice.
