This recipe was so sweet I could barely drink it. When I entered it into my fitness app it was 534 calories and 70 grams of sugar!!! And this was with a carb free protein powder. Don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s healthy. You might as well just make a milkshake with ice cream. 1/2-1 date is fine. I’m not sure why people think using dates and maple sugar make something more healthy. It’s just sugar that costs twice as much.
I haven’t made this yet but was looking at the nutritional information and it says 62g of sugar and 92g of carbs. That seems like a lot right? Maybe the calculations are off?
We ran the ingredients again and got a more accurate number but it’s important to note these numbers are quite general and can vary widely depending on specific ingredients you choose, such as the type of protein powder and any additional ingredients like fruit or sweeteners. Different brands and varieties of protein powder can have significantly different sugar and carb content. So, it’s essential to check the labels of the products you’re using to get a more accurate count for your shake.
This is my new favorite smoothie recipe!! Delicious!! I use Native Path Collagen Peptides powder instead – my only tweak!
This is the best recipe I’ve found so far! Thank you so much!
This is my new “go-to” shake. It’s the perfect blend of flavors. The dates work perfectly as a sweetener. I love it!
I checked out the protein powder you are recommending and it is full of all sorts of bad chemical ingredients and artificial flavoring. I would not recommend that women use that product.
