How can a strawberry banana smoothie which is 41 carbs be on a 7-day low carb menu?
Hi Arlene, great question!
Looking at the smoothie alone, it doesn’t seem like it should be considered low-carb, but the total carbs for the day are only around 75 grams or so. According to Healthline, low-carb diets can actually range anywhere from as low as 20 carbs per day (keto) up to 150 grams per day. This particular plan is designed to be more relaxed, and is a good stepping stone towards a more extreme low carb meal plan. If this one has too many carbs for your goals, we definitely have other options that are more extreme. Check out the Easy 7-Day Keto Menu Plan. We do our best to create a wide range of meal plans, because one meal plan definitely won’t work for everyone! 🙂 Hope that helps!
These look delicious, thanks for sharing!
