Snickers Smoothie
SNICKERS SMOOTHIE
If the last ~4 years taught us anything, it’s that metabolic health is more important than ever, so avoiding a huge blood-sugar spike from smoothies is v important! Loaded with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, this looks and tastes like dessert, but scores a 10/10 for glucose friendliness!
This recipe targets:
Glucose Friendly | Vegan Friendly | Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free
Most smoothies throw your blood-sugar for a loop by being full of sugar, and nothing else! This one is packed with protein from protein powder, fiber from sneaky veggies, and fats from yummy nut butters to keep your blood-sugar stable.
Ingredient list
3/4 cup unsweetened creamy non-dairy milk
1/2-1 frozen banana
1 serving vanilla protein (I use the one by BeWellbyKelly) (discount code MADDIE)
2 tablespoons cacao powder
2 tablespoons peanut butter (or any nut butter of choice, or an unsweetened PB or AB powder)
1/2 cup ice cubes
(optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
(optional) Monkfruit or stevia to taste (or 1-2 dates!)
OTHER ADD-INS (THAT I INCLUDE!)
1 handful of frozen zucchini
1 handful of frozen butternut squash
1 handful of frozen cauliflower rice
^(adds sooo much fiber, creaminess and nutrients without affecting the taste at all! seriously!)
1-2 tablespoon ground flax seed (or pre-soaked chia seeds or psyllium husk)
2 tablespoons of peanut butter powder
Dietary benefits
Glucose Friendly
Vegan Friendly
Steps
Step 1
Layer your blender from soft to hard (bottom to top!) and blend it all together. I continue to add small amounts of liquid if I need to, to help it blend together smoothly while keeping it thick and creamy! To thin it out, add more liquid. To thicken it, add more ice, frozen zucchini, and/or cauliflower rice!
Step 2
Time for toppings (totally optional and I only do this when I am feeling more decadent)!
One topping is a melted dark chocolate drizzle. Here are the deets:
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1-2 teaspoon coconut oil
Mix and melt these two ingredients together. Drizzle over your smoothie!
Step 3
(again, totally optional and I only do this when I am feeling more decadent hehe.) The second topping is an easy paleo “caramel” sauce! Here are the deets:
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or monkfruit syrup!)
2 tablespoons almond butter
Dash of vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Melt the coconut oil and maple syrup in a glass jar for about 60 seconds. Whisk in almond butter, vanilla, sea salt, and cinnamon until very smooth. Add it on top and store in the fridge!
