Snickers Smoothie
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
2 tablespoons cacao powder
2 tablespoons peanut butter (or any nut butter of choice!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup ice cubes
Monkfruit or stevia to taste (or 1-2 dates!)
Dietary benefits
Glucose Friendly
Vegan Friendly
OTHER ADD-INS (THAT I INCLUDE!)
1 scoop of vanilla collagen (I use the one by Ancient Nutrition)
1-2 tablespoon ground flax seed (or chia seeds, psyllium husk, hemp seeds)
2 tablespoons of peanut butter powder
Handful of frozen zucchini
Handful of frozen cauliflower rice
2 teaspoons Lucuma
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 3
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!
