Here is the last tip to make a smoothie that tastes great without tons of added sugar:
5. Throw in a dash of vanilla extract.
Vanilla extract isn’t exactly a substitute for sweeteners, but it’s a smart tactic for tricking your palate. In a good way. Use one of the tips above to sweeten your smoothie or just reduce your favorite added sweetener, then add a dash of vanilla extract. There’s about 1.6g of sugar to a tablespoon but you don’t need nearly that much, and you’ll be amazed at what a difference it makes.
