Summer is finally here and we strive to have refreshing drinks for the heat. With just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the berries come into play to save you with this awesome and healthy berry smoothie!
Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries… They are all so good and tasty that they should be filled with fruit sugar and they are not that healthy, right? But no! One of the properties that are quite unknown is that they have a low sugar content and glycemic index!
I am telling you this because they make an excellent excuse to have a healthy, tasty, sweet and refreshing drink without hurting your beach body (although with the current situation it’s kind of hard to show it).
To give it the right consistency we will use frozen fruit and milk. The bananas are really important to blend everything together, so don’t skip them!
Replacing the right ingredients, you can make this refreshing drink dairy-free or keto-friendly too! (be sure to count the berries carbs correctly and use a low-carb milk replacement)
Either way, this recipe is delicious and extremely easy to make. You just need a blender and to put everything on it!
