Top 5 Best Weight Loss Recipes
When you're looking to slim down, look no further than the mighty smoothie. But can they really help? Is it healthy? Or nutritious? Today I want to share some of my favourite smoothie recipes that can boost weight loss. But before that let's take a look at some problems we see in most smoothies.
The natural fruit sugars in smoothies can also add hundreds of extra calories to your daily intake. So the real question is how to make a healthy weight loss smoothie? How do we make the perfect smoothie that is dense in nutrients? You want to avoid fruit juice, cow milk, canned fruits, chocolate syrups and powders, cool Whip or whip cream & sugar.
At the end of the day, just use a little common sense in determining what not to add to your smoothie.
Now that you know what not to add to your smoothies, let’s get to what you can toss in the blender to make the healthiest smoothies ever! Each one of these smoothie recipes are designed with ingredients to support healthy weight loss.
I am talking about real nutritionally dense smoothies not just fruits in a blender. Well thanks to VENUS-PRO now you can make every meal nutritious and delicious. VENUS-PRO is a Thermo Slim Shake that contains very low amount of carbs but really high in protein. It also supercharged with natures best fat burners & immune boosters to support your goal. On the top of that we are going to use vegetables, peanut butter, whole grain oats flour, fresh ginger, fresh or frozen fruits/berries, almond milk or coconut milk, yogurt, seeds mix, Superfoods (cacao, maca, aloe vera, goji berries, spirulina, etc) to supercharge our smoothies.
A perfect smoothie needs to contain natural fibres, protein, healthy fats and low in sugar or carbohydrates. Each smoothie can contain between 250-400 calories, which is powerful to suppress hunger, energise your day and help you to shred pounds.
