Simple Smoothies
Do Smoothies have to go now that I'm trying to Diet?
Absolutely Not !!
Smoothies for your diet menu will be one of your best friends.
They're often refreshing for after work outs, filling for between meals, and a great light starter for your day when you are cutting back on meals.
Add powdered whey or fiber to any of the following recipes to get the desired mealtime result. Add ice if it's summer for a cool and refreshing pick me up or leave the ice out when it winter for an ambient and flavored vitamin packed snack.
Its summer time and the heat is on. One favorite choice of most people for beating the heat is to get a smoothie. But for people trying to lose weight and not miss out, are there any healthy options? Yes. You can make your own smoothies.
From a health point of view, blended smoothies are great for a concentrated meal thats ready in a minute. You can combine a variety of fruit with some water, possibly add some dates or genuine maple syrup and make a delicious smoothie that can be enjoyed anytime as a healthy meal while on your weight loss program.
Actually friends, this may be a better choice than juicing as you will also get the fiber, which is an essential nutrient present in our fruits and vegetables for several reasons and in regards to losing weight, the fiber will serve as intestinal brooms to push all unwanted debris out. Hey, we are seeking weight loss right?
Now, the recipes listed below are my personal favorites for smoothies. I think they are creative ways to enjoy the proper diet and not entirely miss out on pleasuring ourselves occasionally. You can always experiment to find tasty recipes as well, but here are some to get you started.
