Recipe Variations And Tips
There are numerous ways you can make this smoothie. We all have different preferences, and ingredients available to us.
Which is why I always like to leave options for changes to the recipes I share.
Here are some of the ingredient swaps you can make to this weight loss keto green smoothie:
- If you are okay with a bit more carbs, instead of 1 date that I used, you can add 1/4 cup of frozen berries instead.
- For a completely sugar-free smoothie, do not add the date to the smoothie.
- The spinach can be substituted for other greens, for example, kale and watercress are both wonderful choices.
- The lemon juice can be substituted for lime juice.
- I used freshly minced ginger root in my smoothie, however, you can use dried ginger powder too. 1/4 tsp is plenty.
