20 easy weight loss smoothie recipes for those people who are looking to shed down those extra pounds….through smoothies.
Before we begin to show you our list of low-calorie smoothies, we would first like to highlight that there is no magic smoothie that can melt down the fat and help you lose weight, without you putting the effort.
Weight loss smoothies can be an effective part of your weight loss strategy/journey, but it alone, won’t make you lose weight.
Are Smoothies a Good Way To Lose Weight?
Not directly. Smoothies alone won’t magically make you lose weight. But they can assist you in your weight loss journey.
In order for you to lose weight, you will need to be in a calorie deficit. The smoothies present today in this list, help you achieve that, by providing little calories, but keeping you full, which makes you eat less throughout the day.
if you eat less, you are likely to be in a calorie deficit which will lead to weight loss.
What Can I Put In a Smoothie to Lose Weight?
Protein! Protein is the most effective macronutrient when it comes to weight loss. Why? because protein keeps you fuller, which can lead you to eat less. Eating less means a calorie deficit, and a calorie deficit means weight loss.
You can add anything like:
- Protein Powders
- Low Fat Plain Yogurt
- Nut Butters (although be careful, as they contain a lot of calories)
- Chia or Flax Seeds
- Seeds, such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.
- Egg Whites
- Spinach
- Oats
And the list goes on.
Which Fruit Burns The Most Fat?
Fruits alone won’t magically make you burn fat. The only way to burn fat is through a calorie deficit.
However, there are certain fruits that can assist you in the journey. These include:
- Avocados
- Berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
- Oranges
- Lemons
- Apples
And many others.
