The reasons I’m giving you 3 steps to reducing the sugar in your smoothies without noticing is because most people eat far too much sugar. And if you have cut out refined sugar, you might be ready to move to the next stage which is to reduce the amount of natural sugar in your diet. It’s better to take this one step at a time so you don’t shock the body and end up giving up entirely.

For a very long time I have been a proponent of avoiding refined sugar but still eating quite a lot of natural sugar which are what my Green Thickies (complete meal green smoothies) contain.

However I’m personally cutting down the amount of natural sugar in my own diet so I just wanted to let you know why and to give you some help so that you can do the same with your smoothies.

So what is the correct way to drink a smoothie?

Surely this is a no brainer? You pick up the smoothie, sip and swallow right?

It’s not quite as simple as this!

My goal is to help you get the healthiest you can possibly be and that means improving your digestion and helping your body adjust to new foods in a gentle way.

In today’s video I’m sharing the correct way to drink a smoothie!
