How To Make a Metabolism Booster Smoothie
To make a delicious metabolism smoothie, you need to use ingredients that can actually speed up your metabolism.
Let’s take a look at what ingredients I used in this smoothie and why!
Metabolism Boosting Smoothie Ingredients
#1. Matcha Powder
According to Healthline – green tea can increase metabolism and boost fat-burning which can lead to weight loss.
That is why, we made sure we added quality Japanese matcha powder to this smoothie.
#2. Ginger
There have been many studies done on the benefits of ginger. One of the benefits is speeding the metabolism.
Ginger is often used for medicinal and weight loss purposes.
#3. Almond Butter
According to Taste Of Home – the healthy fatty acids and protein content can help boost your metabolism.
Just make sure you use unsweetened almond butter, and nut butter made using 100% nuts.
#4. Greek Yogurt
According to Medical News Today, incorporating Greek yogurt into your diet can aid weight loss and boost metabolism.
Adding yogurt to your smoothies also adds a healthy dose of protein and creaminess to your smoothies!

Spinach is high in iron and protein. Both of these nutrients can help boost your metabolism.
Spinach is also a low calorie leafy green, making it an excellent addition to your weight loss smoothie.

Thanks to the abundance of nutrients and enzymes, pineapple can be a great addition to your smoothies for weight loss and metabolism.
Not to mention that pineapple is so delicious and refreshing!
