Ingredients To Make Avocado Spinach Smoothie For Weight Loss
The first 2 ingredients are self-explanatory, however, we are still going to break down each ingredient and why we used it:
Avocado
Avocado not only provides a ton of nutrients but also creaminess to the smoothie.
The avocado benefits are many. They are also an excellent choice for people who are dieting and want to lose weight.
The way avocados help with loss is by promoting satiety.
Avocados are quite high in fiber and fat (good fat) which is crucial for promoting satiety.
When you’re not feeling hungry, you’re less likely to snack, ultimately helping you create a calorie deficit.
Spinach
Spinach is the favorite leafy green of many smoothie enthusiasts for many reasons.
It not only provides an abundance of nutrients, but also it’s really easy to incorporate in smoothies.
Furthermore, spinach is also a very low calorie leafy green, making it an excellent addition to your weight loss smoothies.
Banana
Bananas are an excellent way to sweeten and thicken smoothies.
Bananas are also rich in many vital minerals, such as the all too-known potassium.
Because of their high amount of potassium, this essentially means also rich in electrolytes which are crucial for the nerves and muscles, as well as balancing your Ph levels.
On top of that, it’s a fact that bananas can increase your energy, which is why it’s a food often used by athletes.
Greek Yogurt
More creaminess! This smoothie in total has 3 ingredients that are often used to add creaminess to your smoothie.
You can probably guess, how ultra creamy this smoothie is…
Anyway, adding yogurt to your smoothies is a fantastic way to add protein to your smoothies without the need for protein powders.
Ice
When sipping on your smoothie, there is nothing better than tasting a fresh and cooling blend of ingredients.
Ice plays a really important role in enhancing the hydrating properties of smoothies, as well as thickening them.
Coconut Water
Coconut water is also high in electrolytes. On top of that, coconut water is ultra-hydrating and nourishing.
If you have ever tried coconut water before, you will know exactly what we mean.
