Dr. Ashley Lucas warns that many low-fat, fruit-flavored yogurts and commercial smoothies appear healthy but are often high in added sugars and low in protein and fat. She advises avoiding tropical fruits (bananas, mangoes), fruit juice, dates, and added oats because they create a "carb/sugar bomb." For a healthier smoothie base she recommends unsweetened almond or coconut milk, adding protein (e.g., whey protein), and using berries instead of tropical fruits.
