Notes

UPF-Friendly Swaps

To keep this smoothie closer to minimally processed foods, choose:
  • Dates: Use whole, pitted dates rather than date syrup or flavoured date products.
  • Milk: Choose plain milk with minimal added ingredients. 
  • Maple syrup: Choose pure maple syrup rather than maple-flavoured syrup.
  • Strawberries: Frozen strawberries with no added sugar or other ingredients are a simple option.
Always check ingredient labels, as brands vary.
