Do you like bananas? You can make low Gi banana smoothies using skimmed milk, then maybe freeze them onto sticks?
You can also use low fat natural yoghurt with low gi fruits.
Buy using green light foods with yellow/red light foods you reduce the GI of the higher GI foods (if that makes sense lol) Like if you want a strawberry yoghurt, use fresh strawberries (low GI) with low fat natural yoghurt (yellow/ med GI) and that makes the yoghurt a green light food.
Works the same for meals.. if you love swede (like I do and cant always go without lol) add swede to your carrots and/or sweet potatoes and it reduces its GI making it more a med/low GI food.
The food on its own isn't low Gi, but by mixing the foods you can lower the GI of anything although ideally you should avoid the red foods but on occasion it is ok!
I have some low/med GI smoothie receipes if you want some. They do say they should be drank immediately, but I cant see how freezing them would higher the GI value! They'll be milky lollies, which may not be an instant cooling factor, but least they will be fruity and refreshing xxx
