48. Smoothies
Everyone advertises smoothies as a healthy alternative to a milkshake. However, if it has milk products, it's still a problem for people with acne. Besides dairy, several fruits commonly used in smoothies have a high GI.
For example, raw pineapple, watermelon and mangoes all have a GI above 59 + 8. Consider non-dairy alternatives, such as almond milk, which has a lower GI and shouldn't increase IGF-1 levels, boosting acne. Add low GI fruits like berries.
