Including Smoothies During Your Weight Loss Journey
Most smoothies are made using fruit, fruit is generally low in calories, making it a perfect diet food.
If you want to include smoothies in your weight loss diet, it’s best to make them yourself. That way, you can track exactly what’s included in the smoothies, and the calories.
Unfortunately, most of the smoothies you buy pre-made, contain a lot more calories, not to mention additives and sugar.
How Do You Make a Low-Calorie Smoothie With 50 Calories?
The secret is using low-calorie ingredients, and measuring them correctly. Having a scale is crucial, or measuring cups/spoons.
We chose raspberries and spinach, the other 2 ingredients are 0 calories – ice and water.
The breakdown:
- 1/2 cup/75g Frozen Raspberries
- 1 Handful Of Spinach
- 3-4 Large Ice Cubes
- 200ml Cold Water
It’s crucial that you use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit makes your smoothies thicker, and adds freshness to them.
To make this smoothie recipe below 50 calories – add all of your ingredients to a blender, and blitz until completely smooth.
Serve immediately.
