Recipe for smoothie for lunch is the perfect meal replacement smoothie for those people who are on the go during lunch or just haven’t got time to sit down and eat a meal.
We are all busy. But it’s really important that we do not skip meals. Skipping meals can do 3 things for you; slow your metabolism, make you lose weight, or make you gain weight, due to overindulging later in the day.
Eating meals frequently can also prevent your body from having energy crashes and low blood pressure, which can make you tired and in some instances ill and dizzy.
Smoothies are an excellent way of getting important nutrients and vitamins in your body, in 1 drink. They are also very convenient and mess-free. This green smoothie for lunch is going to certainly do that.
It is relatively low on calories, making it a lunch smoothie for weight loss.
Can You Have a Smoothie For Lunch?
You can absolutely have a smoothie for lunch. Smoothies if done well can provide your body with all the essential nutrients you need.
In fact, in some instances, smoothies can be healthier than some lunches some people have. But, it’s imperative that the smoothie is loaded with fruits and veggies to provide you with enough goodness.
Is It Healthy To Have a Smoothie For Lunch Every Day?
If the smoothies are done well enough, then yes. If you are getting the needed nutrients from the smoothie, then absolutely you can have a smoothie for lunch every day.
You would typically need protein, carbs, and a bit of fat for a healthy sustainable smoothie for lunch. However, you can also have smoothies alongside your meal too.
What Smoothies Go With Lunch?
If you want to have a smoothie to go with your lunch, then we would recommend drinking a smoothie that balances what’s missing from your main lunch.
For example, if you have a big salad for lunch, then a protein smoothie would be recommended. If however, you have protein, but little greens, then a green smoothie would be recommended.
Will Having a Smoothie For Lunch Help Me Lose Weight?
It will really depend on the number of calories the smoothie contains, and how many calories you end up consuming overall for the whole day.
Remember, weight loss occurs only due to a calorie deficit.
Some smoothies can be quite high in calories, which can do exactly the opposite of what you are trying to achieve – weight gain!
However, some smoothies can be quite low on calories, and quite filling, which can bring the total amount of calories consumed for the day within a calorie deficit.
The lunch smoothie recipe we have for you today can aid weight loss, due to being low in calories, but very filling.
If you are trying to lose weight, definitely try meal replacement smoothies for weight loss.
