Done 🤞🏻
Wow !! Such a generous giveaway !! Been on your email list for a while so I got so excited when you announced this again !! Ps these smoothies look so good 😍😍
They all look amazing, can’t wait to try them. Entered!! - Taleen
I definitely love smoothies and fruit, so thank you for the lower sugar options.
I love your viedos. I would like if you could make one where you you eat deviled eggs on your hike
Finally smoothies without a ton of sugar or overuse of bananas. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy these recipes 😊
Downshiftology,
Thanks for sharing these smoothie recipes with your viewers, Lisa; I enjoy your channel very much ! "
Use green bananas as they have less sugar.
LBlush my mornings without bananas are not the same 😭
Whats wrong using bananas?
As a diabetic person, I really appreciate these idea of low sugar smoothie. Love from Dubai
Thanks! Hope you love these new low sugar ideas :)
What I like to do is to freeze coconut milk or yoghurt in ice cubes and use those to keep the smoothie cool. It also gives it somewhat of a frappé-texture, which I personally like a lot. When you do that and add in some raw unsweetend chocolate powder and instant espresso powder it makes a nice sort of moccha-frappé-smoothie.
Yes! Freezing any milk blend is always a great idea for smoothies :)
My new favorite smoothie - and one that is getting me excited for Fall - is a pumpkin pie smoothie! I blend together a cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup of pure pumpkin puree, a scoop of my favorite vanilla whey protein powder (adds protein of course and a little sweetness), a tsp of vanilla and some ground cinnamon (or any fall spice you want) - it's low in sugar and rich in taste and goodness!
That sounds delicious! I definitely need to whip that up!
That sounds so good! Maybe if I make it, I can will an early Fall. 🎃 ☕️ 🍂
Definitely will give this a try. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Thanks for sharing!!🎃🎃👻
Wow this sounds amazing!

I like to use the tougher cauliflower parts for smoothies, saving the florets for other purposes.
I CHOMP ON THOSE TOUGHER PARTS WHILE PREPPINGTHE FLORET!!!
Thats a great idea
Finally a video on low sugar smoothies. Thank you so much Lisa. Love all the ideas here.
Hope you love these new recipes!
After viewing this video, I realize how easy it is to go overboard with smoothies. Thanks for tips on cutting the sugar in these drinks.
Yes, it really is. And that's not bad every once in a while. But these are better for more regular consumption. :)
Smoothie make it way to easy to eat a lot of fruit and with it sugar in a very short time, even without adding sweeteners. It is still a bit better than drinking juice where the sugar is not buffered in the slightest, but mixing too gets the sugar faster into the bloodstream, as if you would eat the fruit whole . . . People with autoimmune or other inflamatory issues realy should be mindful with them for both fructose and insulin can be harmful in that case. Fat, protein and fiber all help to slow the sugar absorbtion and lesen the fallout.
Thank you for actually showing the brands you buy❤️❤️
Ok. Gotta admit that when you pulled out that cauliflower, I got scared 😅but I will still try all of them :)
Haha. It's always good to try something new! You can taste the cauli a little more than the zucchini, so maybe start with the zucchini first. ;)
Same!!!!!!🤯
Blondie, you are the one who has influenced me. I am a perfectionist, but you are the most organized and professional chef that I have ever seen in the kitchen. Of course, on a scale from one to 10, I give you a million stars for each and every one of your recipes.☺
You are so sweet, thanks so much! Hope you continue to enjoy all the recipes and content to come 😊
I am definitely trying out this cauliflower smoothie
This is awesome! Very informative, detailed, and easy! And you look great in this Lisa! Glad you’re back
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks so much Sara! I'm happy to be back as well. :) x
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! One of the best food channels on UA-cam. These low-sugar smoothies look delicious and nourishing. Never miss a single video!
Aw, thanks so much Mary! I'm so glad you loved the video!
This is so helpful!! I’ve been doing smoothies for years and this had so many tricks and tips that I have never seen before. I need more veggies!!!
Yay! I'm glad this video brought you some new information about different ingredients to add to your smoothies 😊
Lisa. I just discovered your videos and love them all. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I am a health coach myself, so I like everything you do. I will start making all your recipes at home. Yay!!!
Thanks for these colorful smoothies! I really love that you were using glass straws not single use plastic straws!!
Thank you Lisa, just the inspiration needed to get back on a healthier track! 🍃🌿🌱 💚
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy them all!
Lisa,
I appreciate how much knowledge you have about food handling and preservation, as well as the reasons behind every step in the cooking process. Not knowing your background, I would think you have a masters in molecular biology or chemistry!
Really enjoyed this video. I need those freezer bags in my life. Thank you.
Loving this. Gonna give all of these a try and I love your containers.
Loved these recipes! Thanks for the zucchini and cauliflower tip 👍🏽 Need to try them all. 😊😋
Awwww I missed you!! Please upload more, love your recipes!! Love from the UK :)
Thanks so much! I'm hoping to get back to a more regular upload schedule again now. :)
I am so glad to have happened across your UA-cam channel. I am allergic to seafood and fish and am lactose and gluten intolerant. I love to cook and bake, so my new found gluten intolerance is making it difficult to make meals that I can eat without becoming ill. Thank you for your inspiring tutorials!
Lisa, I just LOVE your channel! Thank you so much for all of these recipes-I can't wait to try them!
Thanks for following along to Downshiftology! Can't wait to hear which smoothie is your favorite :)
I just found you a couple of weeks ago! I love smoothies! Thank for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing!! Wait for each upload!! You have been an inspiration for life change..
Aw, thanks so much Shannon! I hope you enjoy the new recipes. :)
I too wait for each up load. Making big changes in our lives with healthy eating and your ideas are very helpful. Thanks Lisa🤗
I watch your channel form the Czech Rep. Many, many thanks for inspiration. I’ve tried to implement some recipes so far and our family loves them. Happy B-day!
I love all the smoothies. Thank You for sharing them 🙏🏻
Hi, you are presenting your recipes very easy way, nicely and professionally perfect! Thank you for that!😊
Thank you for the compliment and positive feedback. :)
When I put chia seed I wait 10 minutes before blending and it helps making it smoother :)
Thanks for the tip
I have made three of these and they have been great! Game changers for me in my quest to eat healthier. I have a prescription from my Dr for a probiotic scoop and it has worked perfectly with these smoothies. My goal will be to try to add the cauliflower next.
Im on a new journey in eating right. I have always thought that I ate right but, your food videos have made me rethink again. Im inspired by your explanations and rationales in eat food recipe that makes so much sense in healing the body from the inside. I have not watched all which I plan to to get more educated. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the ideas on zucchini prep! I don't have much of a sweet tooth so it's nice to see ways to get a little less sugar in my smoothies. A favorite of mine is spiced butternut squash with pecans and milk - I had leftover custard made with eggs so it's a complete breakfast without enough sugar to taste like a dessert.
That combinations sounds delicious! I hope you enjoy a few of these recipes as well 😊
I've been looking for a way to replace bananas for my smoothies and this video does just that, and solves all my problems! Thank you for your generosity for the giveaway and Happy Birthday!!
Wonderful! Zucchini is my favorite banana replacer - hope you enjoy it as well. And thanks so much for the birthday wishes!
Thank you for this video! So many awsome alternatives!
So clean & simple. I love your channel!
I love my Vitamix!! Worth every penny.
I find that adding a dash of vanilla makes up for the lack of sweetness somewhat.
These smoothies look amazing! Thanks for teaching us about adding veggies and keeping them low sugar. I can hardly wait to try them.
Thanks Norma! Hope you love these new recipes :)
Love your smoothie recipes! Hopefully, be able to make them one day!
You mentioned the butternut squash in the beginning. In which smoothie did you use it?
-
I 💗 love your channel!
Lisa,
Thank you so much for helping me with my meal prep! I gave up on meal prep for a while because it was annoying eating the same thing all of the time, but you made it so much better! I can’t wait to try the recipes in the PDF’s you’ve made! I’m saving my money to buy a Vitamix blender and I can’t wait to use it to make my own Almond Milk. I think that’s what I am most excited about! Thank you for all the inspiration! I hope you have a great day and a Happy (early) Birthday!
Melissa
Thanks for the birthday wishes Melissa! And yes, a Vitamix isn't cheap, but I think it's definitely worth it. :)
I love the professional way you make your videos. How easy you make us see how to prepare smoothies, motivating us to healthy nutrition.
Regards from Miami 🌞🌴🌊
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the smoothies in the hot Miami heat. :)
Very interesting combinations! I need to try them all. Love the idea for frozen veggies, adding veggies wherever we can is always a plus nutrition-wise.
I used to make a smoothie with a couple of handfuls of kale & a cup of frozen blueberries. It's been a while, but I believe I used almond milk and sometimes yogurt, and a bit of cinnamon. You truly cannot taste the kale!
Hoping you will be doing another Vitamix giveaway this year. This fellow Virgo - September 18 - could use one for sure!
This came in at a perfect timing. I'm trying to control my sweet intake. Never thought of adding these vegetables to my smoothie. Certainly will try it. Thank you for sharing ❤️
You're welcome Wanda! I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks for sharing! Love the idea of frozen veggies to keep smoothie chilled and low sugar!
Yes, zucchini and cauliflower are my favorites for that!
I loved the extra hidden veggie ideas added to smoothies.
🤯 Zucchini and cauliflower! Never would have thought. Thank you so much for sharing these smoothie idea's.
Great substitutions to add more veggies :) Hope you love these recipes.
You should come out with a healthy smoothie line that is sold in stores! I’d buy them for sure ❤️
Happy early Birthday! Hope it's a fantastic day for you, may you be blessed to have much laughter and a ton of love everyday. Love the video, so going to try the frozen vegetable idea. Thank you for also educating me in ref to the banana replacement!
Thanks for the birthday wishes and kind words Elizabeth! Hope you have fun experimenting with the frozen veggies. :) x
I have subscribed to everything and have totally binged watched every video since I discovered you, some 2 or 3 times over, and I have made a total life transformation in the last couple of weeks all because of this channel. Thank you so much for putting me on to a healthier future x
Thanks for following along to my channel Karen! I'm so happy to hear my videos have inspired you to move onto a healthier lifestyle.
@@Downshiftology thank you again, I am hoping to be entered for the Vitamix competition also please, it is now my dream to own one, thank you again x
I love adding veggies in my smoothies 💗 I will swap out bananas for cauliflower tomorrow morning 💪🏽 Thanks for the recipes!
Off to buy the zucchini and cauliflower to blanch and freeze. I add Kale, spinach and swiss chard frequently but never thought of the zuc or cauliflower!
I love combining milder typs of cabbage, mostly the pointy one where I do not know the english therm of, or red cabbage with pineapple or apple if I can not get the former, it is just realy great
me too
So happy to see a new video from you. I love your meal prep videos! Looking forward to seeing more 😊
Thanks so much Rachel!
Love this video. i’ve been making summer smoothies but have been concerned with the sugar content. This is exactly what I needed. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you loved this video :)
I don’t have IG or any kind of social media so can’t enter the drawing but still enjoyed the video. I’ll continue to save for a Vitamix! Happy Birthday! 🎂
Good thing I live in San Diego ,always summer😎
Love these low sugar smoothie recipes. Great way to sneak 8n more veggies and appreciate the ideas on freezing veggies for smoothies too.
Thanks Sherri! I hope you enjoy them all. :)
You make everything look so simple & easy to make. Can't decide which to try first.
It's a tough decision, isn't it? ;)
Those bags! I need them! This is great. I avoid smoothies in general because I already feel like I eat so much all day that I can't afford the extra cals! But these ones would be great for a quick brekkie on the go. Thanks! - Paula
Yes, I love my Stasher bags! And these are definitely light smoothies compared to the regular. Hope you enjoy!
Love these! My go to low sugar smoothie is: water, two handfuls of spinach, an inch of ginger, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and a half a frozen banana. Makes enough for two!
That sounds great Daniella 😊
Another awesome video Lisa!! Thanks so much again! Can't wait for it to be summer here so I can add these yummy smoothies to my concoctions :-) Looking forward to more of your inspiration and ideas for healthy eating xx
Yes! Thank you for these easy smoothie recipes! Just what I needed for low sugar smoothies!! Will definitelty try them!😊😊😊
Perfect! Enjoy!
I subscribed not long ago,i enjoy every recipe you share on each vlog so amazing👌😍😍
Watching from Nigeria.
Thanks so much Stephanie! Hugs to you in Nigeria!
Great ideas, Lisa! I’m going to try a few of these with my kids. I love smoothies but often find them too sweet as well so this is incredibly helpful ♥️
Thanks! Hope you and your kids love these low sugar ideas :)

Hi
I just discovered this vieo(as well as some other amazing recipe videos on your site). This couldn't come at a better time, as I have been contemplating bringing smoothies into my daily eating routine. Thank you so much! These are fantastic!
So happy that you present banana alternatives! I will definitely try your smoothies one after the other.
It's always good to switch things up and frozen zucchini is such an awesome alternative. Enjoy!
I can't wait to try these smoothie recipes. An thanks for the chance to win the Vitamix blender!
Love these, especially that pineapple coconut. Can’t wait to try these. Thanks so much!
Our birthdays are super close! I’m the 28th!
Happy early birthday! Virgo twins! ❤️❤️
Happy birthday to you as well! And yes, I loved that pineapple coconut one!
Oh my goodness you're making me crave a smoothie this morning! Thank you for the ideas. I didn't realize you could freeze zucchini. But I do like the Frozen cauliflower hack I have done it and it makes things so luscious.
Freezing the zucchini and cauliflower is so great for smoothies! Hope you love these new recipes :)
These all look amazing! So glad I found your channel!! For the green smoothie I normally add some ginger as well as some apple cider vinegar to mine. 💙♥️
These look amazing !!! Such a good excuse for another food haul !!!😂😂
Edit: Also just want to say thank you for all these recipes. Both my dad and sister are celiac and I’m vegan so we’re constantly searching for tasty foods to try out xx
Wow! Thanks for the giveaway! My blender just died within the last month, so the timing on this is perfect....ALSO, Happy Birthday!
These smoothie recipes sound great! I can hardly wait to try them. So glad they have less sugar. (I didn't know you could freeze zucchini. What a great idea!)
Spinach, cucumber, kiwi, avocado, almond/cashew butter sounds great. Thanks for the ideas!
Thanks for these, Lisa! For frozen cauliflower, I think I'll try organic cauliflower rice which you can get frozen at Trader Joes (and probably other places). Or frozen cauliflower florets. I need to save time standing in the kitchen ( leg problems).
Yes, those are both great options!
i know its hard to upload weekly but i hope you can do it your content is entertaining and its satisfying watching you cook + you are cute....
Thanks! I'm hoping to get back to a more regular upload schedule again. :)
Thank you for these recipes and the measurements to make it low sugar and still taste delicious
Love this video! I love smoothies but have always been timid to make them often because they’re high in sugar (albeit natural sugar, still too much to include in my regular diet).
I love the tips of the frozen veggies as opposed to the banana! Can’t wait to try it!
Thank you for sharing, the smoothies, video and you are beautiful 🙌🏼
These smoothies look amazing 😍 Your employee has an awesome job being able to enjoy all your healthy foods (assuming she does!) 😅
That is one powerful blender, and it’s so cool you get to partner with Vitamix. Happy early birthday! ☺️
Oh yes, I definitely can't eat (and drink) it all myself. Haha! Thanks Dani!
Thank you for sharing, i was recently diagnosed with borderline diabetics, and this morning I woke with the intention of looking for a low sugar smoothie to start my day (everyday), and what do I find in my email first thing in the morning????? You! Sharing recipes for low sugar smoothies! Like as if you heard me 😱 and I got more excited to find out that we’re both Virgo 🙌🏽 Anyway, I’m praying that I win your Vitamix giveaway 🙏🏽 that would be a dream! And if I don’t someone else deserves it more than I do. Thank you for everything that you do, I truly appreciate you 😘 Advance Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉
Oh yay, perfect timing! I hope you enjoy the new smoothie recipes Anna and I'll keep my fingers crossed on the giveaway. Happy birthday to you as well! x

I am so glad I stumbled to your page. I am loving your variety which helps me a lot
Welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
Thank you so much Lisa,you made our life easy in the kitchen.Loves from Turkey...
You're more than welcome. Enjoy the smoothies!
You have some really great recipes here. This week I will pick up some ingredients and maybe experiment with some dragon fruit. I never thought of using cauliflower in a smoothie but it makes sense to thicken the texture and knock out the excess sugar of ordinarily using something such as a banana. Sugar is great, I still bake the occasional batch of cookies, but I no longer have the sweet tooth of my younger years and the health benefits of limiting it are also an obvious bonus. Also, early happy birthday!
Yes, cauliflower is great and I'm right there with you on sugar as we get older. I ate tons of dragon fruit when I lived in Bali for 2 months - love that! Thanks for the birthday wishes as well! :) x
Nice recipes! Can I also use Frozen uncooked cauliflower?
Yes, no problem. :)
I am learning so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
So glad to hear you're learning tons from my channel! 😊
Thank you for these!I love smoothies and always looking for low sugar ideas. I absolutely I love you blog!
Thanks so much Nuria! I'm happy to hear that. :)
I never thought of using frozen zuchini in a smoothie! That's a wonderful tip, thank you!
Yes, it's wonderful! It keeps it cold, adds a little heft and you can't even tell it's there. ;)
Yum yummy I always worry about how many fruits go into smoothies . Keeping low sugar to help continue with my weight loss journey
Love love love the idea of zucchini and cauliflower in a smoothie! Happy early birthday, Lisa!
Thanks Daisy! Hope you love these recipes :)
Hi- Just bought a vitamix and so far worth every penny. Low sugar is the key to a healthy smoothie and your video shows you also don't have to give up on taste either. Nice tips on how to freeze vegetables. Keep making videos and thanks for all the info you share
You're more than welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipes and my tips. :)
I have missed on the give away am not a resident of the named places😩😰 however thanks for the tips
Aw, bummer! Hope you still enjoy all the smoothie recipes!
Thank you for your channel. 🎁I am ready to trade my Vitamix 5200 to an Ascent 3500. 😊
I love my Ascent 3500! I use it nearly daily. :)
What is the difference? Is it better? Oo
@@ekelgedekel they both are nearly same & bit costly 😬. The only difference they have, is their manufacturer. Although if you are looking for a blender to buy. You must check this Bevo #portable blender. It is durable & affordable.

These all look really good! I can’t decide which one to try first! And Happy Birthday!
Can't wait for you to try these as well!
Love this, and love smoothies! Ordered the bags yesterday to make freezing simpler. Made the classic downshiftology smoothie. Like the fact as well your getting extra fiber and protein from the chia seeds.
