The ultimate low-sugar AIP Paleo Sour Patch Berry Smoothie for a sweet, then sour breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Now that I am back to trying out the AIP Paleo diet, things have gotten a little less sugary and a lot more restrictive. I’m not going to lie, I have been struggling big time this first week back into it. I am feeling the restriction, and it is hard. Really hard. But I am giving it my full effort, while trying my best to not make things overly complicated. Easier said than done. But smoothies always seem to make meal planning easier on the AIP diet. Oh, and more delicious.
Either this smoothie legit tastes like it could be Sour Patch Kids candy in smoothie form, or it has just been way too long since I have eaten processed foods or sugar. It’s probably the latter. But if you do a Whole 30 or eat AIP/Paleo for a while, your taste buds will totally trick you into thinking you just ate (or drank?) a piece of berry Sour Patch Kids candy.
The trick to making that sweet and sour combo? Super sweet berries and super sour lime or lemon juice. You could also throw in a Granny Smith apple to take the sourness up a level, but I’m trying to keep sugar low (even natural sugars), so we are just sticking with berries here.
Luckily, berries are just so perfectly sweet and help give this smoothie that sweet, then sour, taste.
If you are an avid smoothie drinker, you know that a good smoothie has to meet three requirements: 1) it has to taste good, 2) it needs protein, and 3) it must contain plenty of healthy fats. Smoothies are pretty much worthless as a meal unless they can keep you full for longer than 30 minutes. Oh, and this isn’t a requirement, but generally the best smoothies look a little meh. Not everything that tastes good can look amazing, right?
This Paleo Sour Patch Berry Smoothie meets all of the above requirements. Check, check, check, and check!

If you could make a smoothie in candy form, which candy would you choose?

I love your berry smoothie i tried to make it my home and it really taste good. Thanks have a nice day.
Returning to the AIP Paleo diet certainly presents its challenges with its dietary restrictions, but it’s great to see you finding ways to make it work, especially with delicious smoothie recipes like this Sour Patch Berry Smoothie. The use of berries for natural sweetness and lime or lemon juice for sourness is a clever way to satisfy cravings without processed sugars. I’m curious, have you experimented with adding other AIP-compliant ingredients to enhance the nutritional value or texture of your smoothies, like avocado or certain types of squash? These could add creaminess and additional health benefits to your smoothie creations.
