MAKE TREATS NATURALLY SWEET

The key to sweetening a smoothie or drink naturally is to find ingredients that dissolve well. Some sweeteners boost flavor and texture.
CONCENTRATED JUICE
Frozen fruit juice concentrate allows you to add flavour, sweetness, and texture at the same time.

Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is one of my favourite and it is available in different grades. The lighter the colour, the milder the flavor. Whichever you buy, be sure the label says "pure maple syrup" because syrups labeled "maple flavoured" are usually a mix of corn syrup and artificial flavoring.

Honey
Although slightly higher in calories than sugar, honey is sweeter, meaning you can use less. Be sure to taste the honey before you use it in your smoothie or drink: Intense honey might overwhelm the other ingredients.

Simple syrup
Simple syrup, made of equal parts sugar and water, is the best way to use granulated sugar in a drink. It is dissolved, so graininess won't be an issue.

I don't usually add sweeteners to my smoothies but when I do I add a little honey.
