Healthy Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss

By Susan Field


Healthy smoothie recipes have the power to improve our digestive health and invigorate our entire body. Many of the natural ingredients will help you lose weight.

Fresh natural whole fruits and vegetables contain an array of important vitamins and minerals that are essential for optimum health.

Blending is a great way of releasing all the plant based nutrients that can then be easily digested.

To make healthy smoothie recipes for weight loss, incorporate those foods that are lower on the GI index. This is a measure of how sugary a food is.

Concentrating on low GI fruits will speed up weight loss. Incorporating green vegetables adds fibre to the smoothie which has been shown to slow down the delivery of sugars to the bloodstream. This approach will minimise the insulin release that is necessary to convert the sugars in your bloodstream.

Make sure you include more vegetables than fruit in your green smoothies if you want to maximise the weight loss effect.

For example a ratio of 60% Vegetables to 40% Fruit is ideal for a weight loss.

As you progress with green smoothie making, you can decrease the amount of fruit used and increase water rich vegetables like celery and cucumber.

One great strategy for increasing the weight loss effects of a smoothie is to consume them on an empty stomach. Following this tip will improve digestion by allowing the natural enzymes contained in the fruits to optimise absorption.

A successful weight loss strategy is to use the smoothie as a substitute for a solid meal once or twice a day for a short period of time. This is called a meal replacement. This also allows you to continue to eat one healthy main meal ideally in the evening.

Following a guided menu will ensure that it's easy to be successful with weight loss on a liquid diet plan.

Including an avocado in a green smoothie will make sure that you do not feel hungry before your next meal time. Avocado contains healthy omega 3 fats that are known to suppress hunger naturally.

For the best results use raw organic vegetables & fruits and blend them with filtered or bottled water.
