After years of eating low sugar and low carb (most of the time), I feel like I’ve nailed the low sugar smoothie. And while there is nothing wrong with higher sugar fruits like mango and banana, I prefer to keep my breakfasts or first meals to be very low in carbohydrates and sugar as this leaves me feeling the most energized and productive for the rest of the day. 

And that’s why I mainly use berries in my smoothie, and sometimes no fruit at all. In this particular recipe, I’ve added some MCT Oil which is one of my favourite additions to a low carb lifestyle. If I’m not having it in my coffee or on eggs, I add it to a smoothie. But you can also use this recipe without the MCT Oil too. 

This is a hearty smoothie that is high in fat (in a good way) and a great breakfast, especially if you are managing your insulin or feel better with a lower carb way of eating. Enjoy!
