Nutritional Info, estimated per serving:

Calories: Approximately 150-200 kcal

Smoothies mainly contain fruits, which are a natural source of sugars and fiber. The calorie count is a rough estimate, as it can vary based on the size of the fruits and the type of plant-based milk used.

Carbohydrates: Around 35-45 grams

Fruits are rich in natural sugars (fructose), providing energy. The carbs also include dietary fiber, beneficial for digestion.

Protein: About 2-4 grams

Most of the protein comes from the plant-based milk. Fruits have minimal protein content.

Fat: Approximately 1-3 grams

If using coconut milk, the fat content might be slightly higher due to its natural fat. Other plant-based milks or water have lower fat content.

Fiber: About 4-6 grams

Fruits like bananas and strawberries are good sources of dietary fiber, which helps in digestion and maintaining blood sugar levels.

Vitamins and Minerals: Rich in Vitamin C, Potassium, and others

Strawberries and pineapple are excellent sources of Vitamin C. Bananas provide potassium, which is good for heart health and muscle function. Turmeric adds anti-inflammatory properties.

Sugar: Naturally occurring sugars from fruits, approximately 20-30 grams

The sugars in this smoothie are natural, coming from the fruits themselves. There are no added sugars unless a sweetened plant-based milk is used.
