Guys, when you're not in the mood for something savory, smoothies will always hit the spot.
Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. I'm Myra from Low Carb Love, and today I'm going to show
you three smoothies that I like to have throughout the year that are super creamy and don't have
banana. Now these are going to be low carb, they're going to be high in protein, and super,
super delicious. Now for this one here, it might seem a little plain because it is a berry smoothie,
but I'm telling you, this is the perfect recipe. Now you can do just strawberries or just
blueberries. I have both, so I'm using both, but I'm also using Greek yogurt instead of protein
powder. Now, if you prefer to use protein powder, then of course you can add that or omit the Greek
yogurt and then just use a protein powder. Now for this one here, we are using Greek yogurt,
so we're going to start with that. Add in our Greek yogurt. This is just an unsweetened,
unflavored Greek yogurt. Then we have our frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries,
might have been sitting out for a few minutes, but if you get them right out of the freezer,
it also really helps with the texture. Now for the sweetener, you can use your sweetener of choice.
You can use honey, maple. I'm actually using a sugar-free honey, and I will leave it linked in
the description below so you guys know exactly what I'm using. And then our almond milk, so you
can just use your milk of choice. Now I'm going to add a few cubes of ice. You won't have to if
your fruit is frozen and you use it right out of the freezer, but mine did sit out for a little,
so I'm throwing in a few cubes of ice. Okay, and that's it. We're just going to blend.
And here we are. Look at that creaminess. I'm telling you, the perfect berry smoothie.
Our next smoothie is a peanut butter smoothie. Now this is definitely one of my favorites. I
am obsessed with peanut butter. Now the only thing I will say is when you are making a peanut
butter smoothie, just make sure you're reading your labels. Some brands include hydrogenated
oils, palm oil, sugar, where you don't need any of that. Guys, all of those ingredients are just
really bad for your gut. So you guys know that I've been on my gut health journey for about
two years now, so I've made a lot of these changes. I've also incorporated my supplements,
like you guys and I talk about it all the time. I love my probiotic and prebiotic. I take the
DS1 Symbiotic by Seed. I actually took it this morning. If you guys don't have a high-quality
probiotic and prebiotic, I will leave the one that I use linked in the description below.
They are doing a 30% discount this month. They don't ever do 30%. So if you don't have a high
quality probiotic and prebiotic that you trust, I'm telling you this here is a place to start.
But always remember 70% of our immune system lives in our gut. So I used to have issues with
inflammation. I used to get bloated after I ate, hair falling out, dry patches all over my skin.
So this has really, really just made a huge difference in my life. And then also incorporating
healthy things like smoothies that have really, really high quality ingredients. A lot of the
recipes I showed you here on the channel are recipes that I've made to really help me on my
gut health journey. So if you have any questions about gut health or anything like that, leave
them in the comments below because then I can see how many of you guys are interested in that topic
and then I can make a separate video. Anyway, we're gonna go ahead and get started on our peanut
butter smoothie. So we have our unsweetened almond milk. And of course you can always use your milk
of choice. That's just what I'm using. Then we have our vanilla protein powder. And then we have
our peanut butter. You can add again your sweetener of choice or a little honey.
The only thing I do for the peanut butter is I love adding ice. So that is completely optional.
Really just depends on how you like your smoothies. I like mine to be ice cold. So we're
gonna add in a little ice. And I ended up adding just a little bit more milk and our ice.
All right, now for the texture. You see that? And then our fancy glass straw. Gorge! Now moving
on to the last. And now we're finishing off with another gut-friendly smoothie recipe. This is
kind of like a green goddess smoothie. I feel like, I don't know which one is more popular,
the green or the peanut butter. Which one do you think? It's kind of hard for me to pick and choose
because I love them both. I think I would, I might go with the peanut butter if I had to choose.
But this one is so delicious, super nutritious, and again just really, really good for your gut.
So we're just tossing everything right in. We have our spinach. All right, so you want a good
amount of spinach in there. Then we have our avocado. Now avocado is full of healthy fats.
It is, not only is it going to keep you full longer, but it also adds to the texture. So this
is what's going to give your smoothie kind of like that banana texture, but without all the sugar.
So we're going to add in our avocado, our vanilla protein powder.
We're going to add in our almond milk.
We have our sweetener.
And guys, do not judge me. I know this is a green smoothie, usually does not have ice,
but I need my drinks to be cold. So I'm adding a few cubes of ice. Let's blend.
And now for the texture. And take a look. It is so delicious. This is the only green smoothie
recipe you will need. And I will leave everything linked, the cups, the straws, protein. But now you
have a delicious berry smoothie, peanut butter smoothie, and the perfect green goddess smoothie.
All right, guys. So before we do the taste test, I do want to do question of the day. And today's
question comes from Rosebud underscore Annie. How tall are you? I am five, ten and a half. That is
my exact height without shoes, standing up as straight as I can. But I say 5'11", because people
usually think I'm like six feet tall. So five, ten and a half is my exact height. So if you guys want
me to answer your question, leave it down in the comments below, and I will choose someone for
the next video. All right, guys. So we have our three smoothies. Now the only thing left to do
is the taste test. I don't know which one I love more, green or peanut butter. Now,
berry is always, it's kind of like a staple. I think if you love berries, then that's just it.
But I, if I'm ordering one at Whole Foods or at like a Jamba Juice or something like that,
it's going to be peanut butter or the green. So guys, I'm telling you, smoothies are it.
On those days when you're not craving a savory meal, smoothies are the answer. They're nutritious,
they're delicious, and they're filling. Guys, it's a win-win across the board. All right,
guys. So I'm going to go ahead and leave the recipes in the description below. If you like
