I love a surprise! This Strawberry Smoothie Surprise is going to make you think twice about your average morning smoothie. Smoothies made with whole fruits, vegetables and are high in vitamins, minerals and nutrients are a great option for a healthy breakfast or mid-day snack.
You’re probably wondering what the surprise in this smoothie is… well, it’s white beans! White beans bring a punch of protein, keep you feeling full for longer and create a creamy texture. Don’t worry, your smoothie won’t taste like beans. Naturally sweeten your smoothie with dates and picky eaters will never know the difference. Plus, your sugar level won’t spike!
Why Beans?
White beans are a great source of fibre, protein, B Vitamins and other vitamins and minerals. It is proven that white beans can help reduce blood sugar, improve cholesterol levels and maintain a healthy gut. Of course, like all foods, enjoy in moderation.
