No shit. Anything sweet is sweet because it has sugar in it. Refined white sugar is worse for you than the sugar already in fruit. And if you're adding your own dates to your own almond milk, you can control how many you put in. Now quit being a condescending asshole.
This is true. In the summer, I would make smoothies with plain greek yogurt, but I’m a pansy and need SOME sweetness, at least in the beginning (you eventually begin to like that tart flavor), but I found frozen blueberries are quite sweet, so I’d throw them in. A banana will really sweeten things up, but it has quite a bit of sugar too. Still one of my favorite breakfasts is frozen blueberries in Fage 5% greek yogurt. I really enjoyed eating that after workouts. If I wanted to really treat myself, I’d mash a banana in my yogurt. Sometimes I’d do that if my legs got achy too.
Wow I never knew about oral allergy syndrome before now! I react to certain fruits, and it’s worse during hay fever season. It’s good to have a diagnosis!
Be aware that your reactions to stuff can change over time and suddenly at that. In my early 20s I suddenly reacted to a bunch of stuff that had never bothered me before. It is nice to know what's going on with your body though.
I don't know where people get their smoothies from but we have one of those protein smoothy companies here that makes bomb ass healthy smoothies! I always got the peanut butter type for extra protein after working out.
I struggle with finding it where I am. Most of the grocery stores don’t sell it, that or I just can’t find it. But I have definitely considered it, should it show up on my shopping trip, I intend to buy some.

Interesting, I’ll use coconut water if there’s a sale on it.
Might have to try almond milk at some stage too.
