Sweeteners (if you must)

Some people just can’t shake the sweet-tooth and adding fruit doesn’t quite do it. This list is very short but when sweetening your green smoothie is needed, these are the healthiest ways to go.

• Agave Nectar – produced from the agave plant, low glycemic index compared to sugar or honey.
• Dates – lower glycemic index than agave, high in potassium and delicious!
• Honey – those with blood sugar issues stay clear.
