Low-Carb Blackberry & Ginger Smoothie
Part of our low-carb series, this blackberry & ginger smoothie replaces ingredients high in natural sugars (not a banana or date in site) in place of ones with healthy fats, greens and/or low-sugar berries.
Protein shakes don’t have to be calorific to taste great, and all six of our low-carb options are great options for anyone trying to follow a ketogenic diet.
This one works particularly well as a post-workout drink, and that’s not just because of its 20+ grams of plant-based protein. Together with antioxidant-rich blackberries, the anti-inflammatory properties of ginger have been shown to reduce feelings of muscle soreness, all the better to prep you for your next session.
