Next time you make a smoothie, consider ingredients such as bananas, figs and dates. These fruits have a high sugar content, creating a sweet drink that has a lower glycemic load (GL).
Dates are high in glucose, which will enter the blood steam almost instantly. The sugar in the coconut water will enter the blood steam more slowly, spreading out the energy over a longer period.
This recipe makes about 3 1/2 cups of smoothie, or enough for 2 servings.
