Sweetness choices — tap to lower sugar

Use the listed ingredients and amounts. Nutrition, saved shopping and meal planning remain based on this version.

Preparation guidance only. When a supported swap is chosen, Nutrition per serving below shows the adjusted values; filters, sugar screening, exports, Shopping and My Week stay based on the written recipe. A different sweetener does not establish diabetes suitability; total carbs, portion and verified sugars still matter.

Sugar alcohols may cause digestive symptoms; keep xylitol away from dogs. Aspartame must be avoided with PKU. No substitute is universally the healthiest choice.

Heart-healthy tips

  • No cooking, heating or toasting needed — just assemble.
  • Keep refrigerated (40°F / 4°C or below) until ready to eat. For transport, use an insulated lunch bag with at least two cold sources. Don't leave it out more than 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F / 32°C).

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

Applies to: Blended drink, after blending. Times assume safe preparation, prompt cooling when needed, a refrigerator at 40°F / 4°C or below, and a freezer at 0°F / -18°C or below.

Refrigerator: After blending: refrigerate in a sealed jar and drink within 1 day; shake before drinking.
