Are smoothies good for you?

The answer is a little complicated… basically, yes and no. Before we dive into my favorite diabetic smoothie recipes, let’s talk about why.

Smoothies have become popular as a healthy, easy breakfast or snack you can enjoy on-the-go. However, not all smoothies are created equal.

In fact, many of the smoothies you can buy at a shop or the store are actually packed with sugar and unhealthy ingredients. Some are as bad as eating a candy bar!

The trick to making healthy smoothies? It’s all in the ingredients.

What is a diabetic smoothie?

This list of diabetic-friendly smoothies includes delicious, easy recipes that are low in carbs and don’t have any added sugar. Bonus points if they pack in some protein and are a good source of fiber.

Because when you enjoy a healthy smoothie made from nutritious ingredients, it will fill you up and give you energy for hours! No blood sugar spikes, no feeling hungry an hour later.

Plus, they’re pretty tasty. So whether you want a great on-the-go breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up, this list has something for everyone!

    Thanks! One caution on the candied ginger – mince it VERY finely before you put it in the blender. It won’t get much smaller during the blending process and it can be a bit disconcerting to hit a big chunk of ginger while you’re drinking your smoothie!

    Love this mix and match chart. Fabulous idea! I am a big time smoothie lover too. Besides all your ingredients, I also like to add {undenatured} whey protein or egg white protein, along with ground flaxmeal or chia seeds to my smoothies. Love the addition of candied ginger to your strawberry banana smoothie. Will definitely have to try it out!
