Can You Lose Weight Drinking Vegetable Smoothies?
When it comes to weight loss programs, I have always been very sceptical.
Which is why I always like to test these things first before I tell my friends, family or write about them in my blog.
From personal experience, yes, vegetable smoothies can help you lose weight.
My partner and I drank 2 vegetable smoothies a day, and we lost 2 pounds within our first week.
However, we did combine drinking smoothies with increased physical activity.
So when you are on a journey of losing weight, look at your lifestyle in general; simply drinking a vegetable smoothie a day, and then eating burgers and fries for dinner will not result in weight loss.
5 Reasons Why Vegetable Smoothies Can Help You Lose Weight
Here are some of the things I noticed whilst I was drinking vegetables smoothies for a week that were the main reasons why I lost weight:
- They are low in calories. I used the smoothies as a meal replacement, one for breakfast, and one for dinner. Compared to other meals I would normally have, the smoothie contained nearly half the amount of calories.
- Vegetable smoothies are very filling. Even though they are low in calories, they can very filling. One of the main reasons is the fiber content. Fiber promotes satiety.
- They are nutrient-dense. Vegetable smoothies are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally, even when you’re on a calorie-restricted diet.
- They can be hydrating: Many vegetables have high water content, which contributes to hydration. Proper hydration is essential for overall health and can help control your appetite, as thirst is sometimes mistaken for hunger.
- Veggie smoothies can be very versatile: Vegetable smoothies can be customized to suit your taste and dietary preferences. You can experiment with various vegetables and add healthy ingredients like Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or protein powder to make your smoothie more satisfying and nutritious.
Best Vegetables To Add To Smoothies For Weight Loss
All vegetables are healthy and provide great benefits.
However, not all vegetables can work in a smoothie, especially weight loss smoothies.
From experimenting a lot and testing different recipes, I found that these vegetables in the list below are the best for weight loss smoothies:
| Type Of Vegetable: | Why It’s Good For Weight Loss: |
|---|---|
| 1. Spinach | Rich in fiber and low in calories. |
| 2. Cucumber | Low in calories and high in water content. |
| 3. Celery | Low-calorie, high water content, and fiber. |
| 4. Carrots | Low in calories, a good source of vitamins. |
| 5. Beets | Low in calories, and contains dietary fiber. |
| 6. Pumpkin | Low in calories and rich in fiber and nutrients. |
| 7. Sweet Potato | Low in calories, high in fiber, and vitamins. |
| 8. Zucchini | Low in calories and a good source of fiber. |
| 9. Peas | Rich in fiber, protein, and low in fat. |
| 10. Asparagus | Low in calories and a source of fiber. |
| 11. Avocado (technically a fruit) | Healthy fats and fiber for satiety. |
Other less common vegetables used in smoothies that are good for weight loss, also include:
- Asparagus
- Cabbage
- Mushrooms
