Not too bad. Another thing to consider is whether you feel hungry sooner after consuming fructose and lactose compared to something fatty or proteiny. Guess that would be difficult to measure though.

Looks like you are on the right road.

Thanks. There quite a bit of peanut butter in it as well. I usually last between 3 and 4 hours with these smoothies. Might adjust this a bit by purchasing smaller bananas, which should lower my numbers in theory.

I also found that my numbers are lower with buttermilk vs 1% normal milk. I remembering reading some place that the acid helps. Might have to consider that in a smoothie in the future..... Although not sure if a tangy smoothie is all that appealing right now.

Some thing I plan on working on in the long term. Right now I'm not spiking anywhere near where I was. Might look in to non-dairy milks and see what that does. On a whole, when I do have the smoothie, that's the only piece of fruit for the day. On my egg days I have an apple as a mid day snack. Probably not much different.

You might try tweaking your smoothie with almond milk..and the odd avocado of course.
