🩷 Have you been told not to drink smoothies if you have diabetes? Let’s clear that up with some science: when you blend whole fruits and greens—without removing the fiber—you’re still getting all the fiber that slows down digestion and helps prevent blood sugar spikes. Fiber forms a gel-like substance in your digestive tract, reducing the rate at which glucose enters your bloodstream. So yes, you can enjoy a smoothie bowl like this—especially when it’s packed with whole, fiber-rich ingredients.
