Berries pack a nutritional punch and their sweet-tart flavor is crave worthy. While relatively low in sugar, they pair well with bananas or yogurt to make a creamy and sweet smoothie!
Pineapple is a tropical fruit with a bright yellow flesh and sweet, refreshing taste! It’s my go-to pick for green smoothies, since it pairs well with spinach and kale.
Orange juice is a bright and sunny way to sweeten a smoothie! I find a little goes a long way. I don’t have to use much to reach my desired sweetness, a splash does the trick.
Dates are a type of stone fruit that’s been dried. The sugar in a dried date is highly concentrated which makes it super sweet! They have a caramel-like flavor with a sticky, slightly chewy texture.
I love to add apples to smoothies! They’re low in calories, nutrient-dense, and high in fiber. They’re also 86 percent water so they help thin a smoothie too.
6. APPLES
7. PEANUT BUTTER
I cheated a bit with this one, because it’s not actually sweet BUT it’s rich and delicious. Peanut butter makes a smoothie indulgent without the need for lots of sweetness.
Since watermelon is 92 percent water, you don’t need to add much liquid, if any. The watermelon imparts its crisp, classic sweetness and acts as the liquid base!
I say this with caution, because protein powders can be healthy, but sometimes aren’t. It’s important to check the label and opt for one with minimal added sugar and clean ingredients.
