Remarkably Sweet Low-Carb Smoothie For Weight Loss

By Jenny Sugar

You think you're doing your body good by having a smoothie made with tons of fresh fruit, but if you load up on the banana, mango, strawberries, and blueberries, you could be sipping down a crazy amount of carbs. Here's a recipe that has about half the carbs of a basic smoothie recipe, at just under 22 grams, with only seven grams of sugar.

Made with low-carb raspberries, fiber-filled almond butter, and low-carb plant-based protein powder, this 312-calorie raspberry vanilla smoothie tastes sweet enough without overloading you with sugar. The healthy fats, fiber, and protein (almost 35 grams!) offer a quick and easy way to stay full until lunch.
