Low Sugar Avocado Blueberry Smoothie
NutriBullet sponsored this post. As always, I only share products I know and love, and all opinions are my own.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I love a good smoothie. I have an array of smoothie recipes on my blog, many of which I’ve made dozens of times. (One summer I ate this smoothie almost every single day.) But I do see one common pitfall: sugar. It’s often hard to find recipes for lower sugar smoothies.
I’m all for fruity smoothies and I know that a lot of the sugar in smoothies is naturally occurring, but smoothies can easily contain over 80g of sugar. Yes, 80g. And while fruit is good for you, there can be too much of a good thing, so I wanted to share a lower sugar smoothie option with you. This avocado blueberry smoothie has just 16g of sugar but it’s still smooth, creamy, and delicious.
Smoothie portion control
Portion control can be tricky when making smoothies: you throw in a little of this, a little of that, and things can add up quickly. (It’s not just me, right?) You’ve probably heard of NutriBullet, and you know they can blend up your favorite ingredients to make delicious soups, smoothies, and sauces in minutes, but the new NutriBullet is pretty impressive. Oh yeah, and it’s perfect for low sugar smoothies!
Alright, let’s blend this low sugar smoothie!

Description
This low sugar avocado blueberry smoothie is creamy and delicious! It’s an easy way to enjoy a healthy breakfast without a lot of sugar!
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup chopped frozen cauliflower
- 1/4 avocado (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or chia seeds

- Pour it into a glass or a bowl and sprinkle with extra chia seeds, if you like!
Notes
If you don’t have a high powered nutrition extractor like the NutriBullet, be sure to use riced frozen cauliflower as it’s easier to blend than whole florets so you can get a smoother consistency.

If you use unsweetened almond milk is it lower in sugar?
Hi loving reading through your recipes but, could you interpret cup sizes for the portions to weight sizes please?
For example, 1 cup of cauliflower = 100g or 1 cup of almond milk = 200mls. Many thanks 😊
Can you give me a smoothie without vegetables.I want to do blue berry 🫐 and 🍌 and maybe some yougert
Do you need to use the cauliflower as I have IBS and cauliflower reacts with it. Is the something else that you can use in its place like spinach.
This is my go-to quick and easy breakfast! Love it so much!
I had one of these for breakfast this morning and OMG it was the best smoothie ever! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard of cauliflower in a smoothie – will definitely have to try it! I love adding avocado to mine….it just makes it soooooo smooth & creamy. This sounds fabulous!
