Healthy Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss

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.

Fresh natural whole fruits and vegetables contain an array of important vitamins and minerals that are essential for optimum health.

Making a smoothie from fruits and vegetables breaks down the plant cells and releases the plant energy that is beneficial to health and makes them accessible to the digestion.

Make sure to avoid sugary tropical fruits in your smoothies for weight loss, avoid banana, pineapple and mango.

Doing so will ensure that you lose weight quickly and safely. Fruits and vegetables also have natural fibre that will help bind the sugars and release them slowly during digestion. This helps reduce the insulin response thus making it more difficult for your body to store energy as fat.

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

An ideal ratio is 80 percent green vegetables to 20 percent fruit.

As you progress with green smoothie making, you can decrease the amount of fruit used and increase water rich vegetables like celery and cucumber.

TIP: Rather than having a smoothie between meals, opt for a green smoothie as a meal replacement. Eating a green smoothie on an empty stomach will be beneficial because the digestion will be primed and ready to absorb all the powerful plant based nutrients.

Following the meal replacement method is a clever way to incorporate more natural whole foods into your daily diet. Following a liquid diet plan that is designed for weight loss will still allow you to eat a healthy evening meal.

Taking this approach will make it easier to incorporate healthy smoothie recipes for weight loss into your normal daily routine.

Including an avocado in a green smoothie will make sure that you do not feel hungry before your next meal time. Avocado contains healthy omega 3 fats that are known to suppress hunger naturally.

I would always recommend buying organic fruit and vegetables where possible as they contain much higher quantities of beneficial ingredients for health and weight loss.
