Healthy Smoothie Recipes - Ideal Weight Loss Recipes

By Susan Field


This article is about healthy smoothies and their benefits to your health and effectiveness for weight-loss. The natural whole foods in these drinks will improve your digestion and accelerate your fat loss.

These natural whole foods contain many special vitamins and minerals that can benefit your entire body.

Making a smoothie from fruits and vegetables breaks down the plant cells and releases the plant energy that is beneficial to health and makes them accessible to the digestion.

Make sure to avoid sugary tropical fruits in your smoothies for weight loss, avoid banana, pineapple and mango.

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.

Another important tip for making a smoothie for weight loss is to make sure the proportion of vegetables to fruits is in an advantageous range.

An ideal ratio is 80 percent green vegetables to 20 percent fruit.

Over time if you follow these guidelines you will enjoy the real flavours of foods because you will become more aware of sugary foods.

TIP: Rather than having a smoothie between meals, opt for a green smoothie as a meal replacement. Eating a green smoothie on an empty stomach will be beneficial because the digestion will be primed and ready to absorb all the powerful plant based nutrients.

Following the meal replacement method is a clever way to incorporate more natural whole foods into your daily diet. Following a liquid diet plan that is designed for weight loss will still allow you to eat a healthy evening meal.

For optimum results and consistent weight loss opt for 2 meal replacements on most days.

One of the most important things to remember when using a healthy smoothie for weight loss is that you need to include a food source that has either a good proportion of healthy fat or has 20 grams or so of protein.

When you make a green smoothie you can optionally use coconut milk instead of filtered water it does add a creamy slightly sweeter taste to the blend.
