Healthy Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss - Ideas And Recipes

By Susan Field


Did you know that healthy smoothie recipes for weight loss can be made easily by you at home and these blends of beneficial fruits and vegetables will improve digestive functions and are an aid to weight-loss?

If you incorporate organic vegetables and fresh fruits into your blends then your body will absorb many of the beneficial vitamins and minerals from these foods.

When we blend these natural foods we release these important beneficial compounds and make them available to the digestion to absorb easily.

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

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.

Please note that it is important NOT to include too many fruits in your smoothies for weight-loss.

For example a ratio of 60% Vegetables to 40% Fruit is ideal for a weight loss.

Over time if you follow these guidelines you will enjoy the real flavours of foods because you will become more aware of sugary foods.

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.

A successful weight loss strategy is to use the smoothie as a substitute for a solid meal once or twice a day for a short period of time. This is called a meal replacement. This also allows you to continue to eat one healthy main meal ideally in the evening.

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.

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.
