Low-Sugar Strawberry Cucumber Smoothie
This refreshing, ultra-hydrating smoothie pairs the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries with crisp cucumber for a light, low-glycemic breakfast or post-workout snack. It's perfectly balanced with Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and protein boost without the sugar crash.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries unsweetened
- 1 cup English cucumber chopped, skin on for extra nutrients
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt 0% or 2% fat based on preference
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any nut milk of choice
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice adds brightness
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and healthy fats
- 2 drops liquid stevia optional, to taste
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural; shake well before drinking. For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with silken tofu or coconut yogurt. To make ahead, portion the dry/frozen ingredients into freezer bags and just add liquid when ready to blend.
