Healthy and Great Tasting Smoothies that help your weight-loss

Continue reading for some of our great-tasting recipies for weight-loss smoothies and additional protein shake recipes for weight loss, as well as information on how these recipes can jump-start and keep your metabolism going for hours.

Making the Best Weight-Loss Smoothies

Here are the four ingredients you’ll need to make your own delicious, healthy weight-loss smoothies.

Base liquid: Use dairy milk (1 percent or nonfat) because it is high in vitamin D and calcium, both of which aid in fat breakdown. We recommend non dairy substitute milk, such as soy and almond, as well as flavored water.

Protein: at every meal helps you retain your lean-muscle mass, which means you burn more calories throughout the day. Silken tofu, plain nonfat yogurt, or unflavored protein powder are your best bets.

Fat: Healthy fats provide energy, make your protein shake for weight reduction more delicious, and aid in nutrient absorption. Use up to two tablespoons of a good (monounsaturated) fat-containing ingredient, such as avocado, seeds, or nuts. 

Carbohydrates High in Fiber: Any fruit will suffice, but raspberries and blueberries provide the greatest fiber and the least sugar. When it comes to vegetables, spinach, and cucumber have the mildest, easiest-to-mask flavors.

Note: Blend the liquid first, then the solid ingredients, until smooth. You may need to thin these out with a little liquid, such as nonfat milk, depending on how thick you want your weight-loss smoothies and how powerful your blender or food processor is.
