Diet Smoothie Recipes

The best method to loose weight is to start being more active- at least a 30 min walk a day- and add some common sense changes in your diet- less sugar, less saturated fats, less carbs.

A diet smoothie can help weight loss in many ways: it can successfully replace a meal (breakfast or dinner would be best), it can consist of elements that help fat burning, inducing a feeling of fullness, improve digestion and add nutrients, minerals and vitamins necessary for maintaining a healthy body and good levels of energy.

Smoothie Recipes for Weight Loss

A smoothie for weight loss should have fewer calories. Considering this, green smoothies would be the best choice but they are not very appealing when it comes to taste and flavor. Besides burning fat, vegetables and leafy greens are dense in nutrients and fiber. But fruit smoothies can also serve our purpose if we learn to make the right combinations.
