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!

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.

Such a beautiful colour and the smoothie looks so creamy and delicious! The new nutribullet with built in scale sounds fantastic. May be its time I upgraded my old one. 🙂
I enjoy adding avocado to my smoothie makes it creamy and then the blueberries super nice combination. Good way to start the day.
That really is a very beautiful colour, sounds good too!

It is tricky to have smoothies and not consume too much sugar, albeit naturally occurring. Fruit is essentially a dessert! Which explains why it’s so delicious! I have never heard of cauliflower in a smoothie…definitely going to have to try that! I think it’s essential to have veggies in your smoothie so this will be a super interesting to try!

Love the idea of using creamy avocado to cut the sugar. I make smoothies a few times a week so I need to invest in an appliance like this so I don’t have to drag out my giant leaky blender every time!

Love the bit of cauliflower blended into this smoothie! But a delicious and healthy smoothie recipe. Looks so good and creamy!
I would agree that portion control can get a bit crazy when you throw random things in together and all of a sudden, it’s added up quick. This looks good though, I’ll have to look more into it!
