Berry Protein Smoothie
I think what is important when you make a smoothie is not the fruit, but the protein and fibre you put into it. And, keeping the refined sugar OUT...Make sure to find a good protein powder and natural yogurt that does not use sugar. I have found a great organic pea protein powder that uses stevia and natural flavours. Also, by adding wholemeal oats to your smoothie, this adds much needed fibre - this is really important.
In the pictures I have used strawberries but I called this smoothie a "berry" one because you can use whatever berries you have, or prefer! Like I said, what is important for this smoothie is the extra protein and fibre! Normally I have this protein smoothie after doing strength training to help my muscles recover and build. Building muscle is a great thing for diabetics because when we use our muscles it helps burn the food we eat more efficiently - meaning it helps control your sugar levels.
