Green smoothies are probably the first smoothie anyone gets introduced to. Green smoothies contain A LOT of health benefits, and one of those is weight loss.
Myself and Joseph have worked across multiple smoothie businesses, one of those being Smoothie King, and we learned a trick or two when it comes to making a delicious smoothie.
We overindulged in food in the past couple of months, so we decided to go on a green smoothie diet. The result? We lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks! So, today we are sharing our green smoothie recipes that will melt your fat away!
Do Green Smoothies Help You Lose Weight?
Some people believe that losing weight by drinking green smoothies is just a fad, but the fact is, they do really help you lose weight.
Obviously, smoothies alone cannot drop the pounds, but with a little more movement and better food choices, you are going to lose weight.
Green smoothies keep you full, provide your body with nutrients, and boost metabolism – all these things are linked to weight loss.
How Often Should You Drink Green Smoothies To Lose Weight?
Drinking green smoothies once a day is ideal if you want to lose weight. More than once isn’t necessary.
Make sure the green smoothie is loaded with plenty variety of fruit and veg to ensure that you get the most out of your one smoothie a day.
Is It OK To Drink Green Smoothies Every Day?
If you are on the green smoothie diet, or just drinking smoothies often, you might wonder whether it’s ok to drink green smoothies every day.
The answer is yes, it’s totally fine to drink green smoothies every day, just make sure it’s once a day. Once a day is plenty.
Best Time to Drink Green Smoothie For Weight Loss
So, Is it better to drink a green smoothie in the morning or at night? It’s really not that important what time of the day you drink the green smoothie. However, we drank our green smoothies first thing in the morning.
It gave us an instant boost of nutrients and hydration, so we felt the morning worked best for us. But it’s totally up to you when you drink them. The benefits will be the same regardless.
