Best Smoothies To Lose Belly Fat

I don’t usually post healthy eating recipes that are specifically for weight loss, but I know at this time of year many of us have wellness goals that include weight loss.

I want to preface this post by saying there is nothing wrong with the desire for some weight loss! We live in a time where body positivity and self-acceptance is widely promoted and I am completely in support of this. But, it is also possible to practice self-love and acceptance while also journeying to establish a healthy weight that works for you!

There are many reasons why an individual may want to lose weight. I consulted as a Nutritionist for years helping people do just that. It was always a focus of mine to make sure my clients had realistic weight loss goals while also supporting them in a balanced approach.

Lose Weight Without Dieting: 5 Reasons Why It Is Easier With Green Smoothies

This weight loss smoothie recipes is a twist on a smoothie I included in many client meal plans and it can help promote healthy weight loss in conjunction with a balanced diet!

This all depends on what’s IN your smoothies! Because smoothies come in many combinations and sizes, there are those that can definitely support weight loss, in your weight loss journey while others may not. It also depends on your own personal nutritional needs, but I do think smoothies can be a great part of a healthy weight loss plan.

This means no added sugar that comes from sweetened juices or other refined sugar sources. Whole fruits and small amounts of natural sweeteners (maple syrup, dates, or honey) are totally fine and healthy way to help with your sweet tooth without loading you up on processed sugars.

Vegan, Alkaline, Smoothies, Detox: Green Smoothies

Because smoothies are often fruit-forward, it’s very important they also contain protein to help balance the carbohydrates from the fruit. The protein also supports muscle recovery and building for better body composition. Whether this is peanut butter, almond butter, pea protein, cashew butter, a plant based protein, or vanilla protein powder this can all help to give a nice protein boost to the drink.

Just like protein the fat helps to balance out the sugar content of the smoothie, and it also makes the smoothie filling and satisfying. But, becausefat is more caloric, it’s important to moderate the fat content. A tablespoon of nut butter or coconut oil, or 1/4 of an avocado is often enough!

To make this delicious and refreshing smoothie you only need a handful of ingredients, each with a specific purpose tied to weight loss support.

How Much Green Smoothie Should I Drink A Day?

**If you prefer you can swap out the collagen for another protein powder of your choice, but I recommend the collagen as it’s undetectable in taste and texture, so it won’t change the flavour of the smoothie at all. It also contains no added sugars or artificial flavours/additives.

Making this smoothie is a super simple and quick process. You can easily put this smoothie together for a quick breakfast, or pre-or post-workout snack.

. If you are looking to lose weight it’s very important to establish a balanced diet plan that contains the right amount of calories and macronutrients for your individual needs.

When you consume foods that decrease inflammation, the body releases unwanted weight. I have found so many of my own health issues were related to an acidic body and consuming foods that were inflaming me instead of eating foods that decrease inflammation.
