We made three different types of smoothies: apple smoothie, berry smoothie, and green palak smoothie, using low-glycemic ingredients like Diabexy Sugar, a healthy substitute for refined sugar, making them the best smoothie for diabetics.
Smoothies likely originated in Japan in the 1930s when fruit-based drinks became popular. They gained global popularity due to the health food movement. The taste of a smoothie can be sweet, tangy, or savory, depending on the ingredients you use.
