Do Weight Loss Smoothies Work?

If you would like a healthy snack to help you lose weight and enjoy better nutrition, you might consider adding weight loss smoothies to your diet. You can purchase pre-made smoothies, but they are also very easy to make with a decent blender.

Just as a note, really cheap blenders do not seem to hold up well when they are crushing ice. That does not mean you have to spend hundreds of dollars on your machine, but you might research which blenders have been manufactured with this use in mind.

What Are The Advantages Of Weight Loss Smoothies

The main advantage of weight loss smoothies is that they can introduce a lot more fresh produce into your diet in a delicious way. When you think of smoothies, you might think that they are always made out of fruit. Fruit is very healthy and delicious, but actually, smoothies can also be a great way to introduce some vegetables into your diet.

For example, you might add a couple of carrots, tomatoes, or other fairly sweet vegetables into your fruit smoothie. While many people do not care for pure carrot juice, this vegetable can add a nice flavor to a smoothie that has also been blended with some sweeter fruit.

Recipe For Weight Loss Smoothies

The great thing about these healthy drinks is that they are easy to make, and you do not really need to measure anything carefully. Why not start with a simple smoothie blend that almost everybody likes.

- Cup of Ice
-- 1 Banana
-- 1 Apple (or a 1/2 cup of berries)
-- 1/4 cup of yoghurt or skim milk

Simply blend these ingredients together until you have a smooth drink. This concoction might not turn out to be as sweet as you like it. If you would like a sweeter drink, you can add some stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that actually contains fiber and no sugar.

You need a little liquid in the mix to get most blenders to really function well. That is why the recipe includes skim milk or yoghurt. If you have a more expensive blender, you might not need it. If you would prefer to make your smoothie without dairy products, you could substitute this for a little pre-made juice or even water.

If you would prefer a tart thirst quencher for a hot day, you can also add a bit of lemon juice to the mixture. In fact, lemon smoothies are great, but most people need something else to make them sweet and tart and not just sour. Stevia can help. You might also make your smoothie with lemons and strawberries for a nice flavor.

How Do Smoothies Help You Lose Weight?

They are a great hydrating drink, and you need to drink a lot of liquid when you are trying to lose weight. They also provide essential nutrients, like minerals and vitamins, that help calm other food cravings. Finally, they can replace some less-healthy snacks in your diet.
