Healthy Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss - Ideas And Recipes

By Susan Field


This article is about healthy smoothies and their benefits to your health and effectiveness for weight-loss. The natural whole foods in these drinks will improve your digestion and accelerate your fat loss.

These natural whole foods contain many special vitamins and minerals that can benefit your entire body.

Blending is a great way of releasing all the plant based nutrients that can then be easily digested.

Take care to select fruits like apples and pears that are naturally low in sugar and avoid high fructose fruits like bananas.

Concentrating on low GI fruits will speed up weight loss. Incorporating green vegetables adds fibre to the smoothie which has been shown to slow down the delivery of sugars to the bloodstream. This approach will minimise the insulin release that is necessary to convert the sugars in your bloodstream.

Make sure you include more vegetables than fruit in your green smoothies if you want to maximise the weight loss effect.

To lose weight fast with a smoothie diet only incorporate 20% of fruit and make the majority of the blend with water rich green vegetables.

Keeping the fruit content low will mean that you can enjoy fuller flavours and get the maximum benefit from organic green vegetables in your diet.

Ideally you should consume a smoothie on an empty stomach to gain all the benefits for health and weight loss. Smoothies are rich in natural enzymes which aid the digestive process so blending fruits and vegetables is an ideal way to improve digestive health.

If you follow a liquid diet plan that has been specifically designed to boost your energy levels and prevent hunger then consuming 2 replacement meals made from healthy smoothie recipes for weight loss means that you can enjoy a healthy evening meal too.

For optimum results and consistent weight loss opt for 2 meal replacements on most days.

One of the most important things to remember when using a healthy smoothie for weight loss is that you need to include a food source that has either a good proportion of healthy fat or has 20 grams or so of protein.

For the best results use raw organic vegetables & fruits and blend them with filtered or bottled water.
