This Low Sugar Smoothie Bowl is delicious and packed full of nourishing ingredients, but according to nutritionist Phoebe Conway, if you’re having them daily, you need to be careful not to make them too sweet (even if using natural sweeteners like maple syrup and fruit).

“Smoothie bowls are the trend that never ends, and for good reason! They are super delicious and
packed with so many nourishing ingredients! However, far too often I see recipes packed with sugar,
both natural and added (e.g. fruits and sweeteners like honey).

While there is nothing wrong with that, if having them daily it’s important to make sure they are
balanced. This is an example of how to create a low-sugar smoothie bowl – I also froze Califia’s
Vanilla Oat Milk in ice cube trays to help thicken the smoothie without adding loads of banana and it
works a treat! (it’s completely unsweetened and also fortified with calcium and vitamin D!)

The addition of a source of protein (protein powder) and fats (hemp and nut butter) also helps
ensure this bowl will keep your blood sugars balanced and keep you feeling full all morning,” says
Phoebe Conway.
