If you’re looking for quick breakfast ideas that also help your weight loss journey then these healthy weight-loss smoothies are the way to go!
Vegetable and fruit smoothies are a great addition to your day and they’re a great way to get more healthy ingredients into your diet.
They’re packed with nutrients like vitamin C and D, as well as lots of protein – I made this a priority!
In fact, I made sure these weight-loss smoothie recipes followed such strict criteria that I even had to exclude some of my own because they weren’t healthy enough for this collection!
Before we get into the recipes, we should probably clarify: weight loss smoothies are not magic potions that make fat disappear!
If you want to drink smoothies to lose belly fat fast, you will need to drink them as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
The reason we talk about losing weight with smoothies is that drinking healthy weight-loss smoothies for breakfast or a snack is a great thing to incorporate into your diet at any time.
In order for these weight loss smoothie recipes to make the grade they had to be able to keep you feeling full and satisfied until lunch.
Complete protein is important to help with weight loss as it contains all nine essential amino acids, something your body can’t produce on its own.
Dietary fiber is really good for your digestive system and it helps keep it ticking over (if you know what I mean!).
