Looking for ideas for smoothies that don't include fruit ( blood sugar issue) I want to use spinach or kale with some protein powder. Every recipe I google has either banana or yogurt in it.

    I used to make mine with Romaine lettuce (milder than kale) and coconut water (has a little sugar) and cucumbers, and some lemon juice.

    Here is a Spinach and Avocado smoothie:
    Ingredients:
    1 ¼ Cups of Unsweetened Almond Milk
    2 Cups of Spinach
    ½ of an Avocado
    2 Ice Cubes

    Directions:
    Put all ingredients into a blender
    Blend until smooth
    =================
    Here is a spicy smoothie:
    Spicy Green Salad

    ½ cup filtered water
    5–6 ice cubes
    1 medium tomato, Roma or Heirloom
    1 handful fresh parsley
    1 handful fresh baby kale
    ½ habanero pepper without seeds
    ½ Italian cucumber
    1 cup of fresh white cabbage
    1 lemon juice squeezed into blender
    Optional additions:
    Dash of cayenne pepper
    1–2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • spinach or kale without any sweet fruit tastes like the lawnmower after you just finished cutting grass - honest answer
    maybe you could just make a protein shake, and have a mini salad on the side
    Lol maybe you are right!!!
