The Skinny
When blending up your morning smoothies its best to choose berries over other fruits like bananas and mangoes. This is because berries naturally have less sugar (low glycemic) and will not spike your insulin levels too much. This is particularly important concept when addressing weight loss. Think: low sugar, high protein!
