    Exactly. I'm an avid green smoothie drinker, but how do you make them low carb? They are loaded with carbs bc of the fruit.

    How many carbs are you looking for? Are you doing net carbs or total carbs?

    I would love someone to find a low carb green smoothie recipe, so far everyone I see or plug into the calculator comes out really high in carbs.

    Fruits and vegetables are mostly carbs. That why I asked OP for clarification. Some people do "net carbs" which means they subtract out any carbs that come from fiber, so that might be doable.

    Thanks for your input. I'm trying to keep total carbs around 25 or so. I've been using 1/2 c frozen fruit and using almond milk which only has one carb per cup.
