Smoothie is a thick cocktail based on fruit, vegetables or berries with the addition of nutritious fillers for every taste. This definition covers all of the factors responsible for the popularity of healthy eating and weight loss smoothies. Let's analyze each one.

Slimming smoothie
  1. Smoothie consistency(Density) allows you to eat them with a spoon instead of drinking them, which contributes to a better feeling of satiety. Drinking tea, coffee, juice, milk, kefir - whatever, you don't chew, rather it is the chewing process that sends the signal to the brain, "I am eating, I have eaten". When food is chewed, fermentation or beginsDigestion in the mouth, which helps absorb nutrients better, while drinks do not give the feeling of fullness you want, which makes you hungry very quickly.
  2. Combine smoothies in their compositionmultiple flavors- sour, sweet and sometimes even bitter and salty. The addition of various spices gives the cocktail additional color. But the variety of flavors is one of the important factors in full satiety.
  3. The coloring of smoothies is another beneficial factor in weight loss. Not only the variety of taste sensations gives a person a feeling of satiety, but alsoCombination of different shades. . . The rich variety of natural colors is pleasing to the eye and lets you feel positive emotions.
  4. Smoothies will keep you from committing the "weight loss sin" of overeating. It's easy to do with themcontrol the portion, the amount of ingredients and their calorie content. . . Most smoothie recipes are designed for only one serving, a maximum of two. In the latter case, the smoothie should be shared with your neighbor.
  5. Ease and speed of preparationSmoothies make this type of food ideal for those who are always in a hurry and for those who are very hungry. It is enough to put all the ingredients in a blender and grind - the dish is ready, and the hunger collapse is bypassed.

What to Add to Diet Smoothies

In order to fully enjoy smoothies and successfully lose weight, you need to know how to put together a weight loss smoothie.

  1. The basis of every smoothie is a liquid base in the amount of 1-2 glasses for 1-2 servings. Exactlyfluidmust be poured into the blender first so that the mixing process is even. When choosing a base, focus on your eating habits as well as tastes and dietary preferences.

    To theSmoothie basicsfit:

    • Skimmed milk - turns a smoothie into a milkshake for a mild taste
    • yogurt - enriches smoothies with protein, probiotics and calcium;
    • Kefir - together with yogurt makes the drink more nutritious and valuable in terms of nutrients;
    • freshly squeezed fruit juice - increases the nutritional value of the cocktail and improves the taste, but adds a lot of sugar (fructose), which increases the calorie content;
    • Water is the most readily available component that does not add extra calories.

  2. Fruits and berriesHalf a glass jar is the second most important component of a smoothie. They can be mixed together, cocktails can be prepared on just one type of fruit or even combined with vegetables and herbs. Fruits and berries with less sugar are usually suitable for diet fruit smoothies. However, it is the dosage of the components that, by and large, makes it possible to use all the fruits that you like. An excellent alternative to fresh berries and fruits is the "frozen" one, which can be found in stores all year round. They make great refreshing cocktails that don't require ice or a liquid base - frozen ingredients replace both.

    Which typeBerry and fruit fillersfit:

    • BananasIs one of the most popular smoothie ingredients that can be combined with many toppings: pears or apples, oat flakes or nuts, milk or yogurt, strawberries or kiwi. Bananas give the smoothie a thick consistency and a unique aroma;
    • pineapple- This tropical fruit is often found in diet smoothies because of bromelain, known for its "slimming" properties. And pineapple smoothies have a pleasant acidity and freshness;
    • Apples- the cheapest and most consumed fruit full of fiber, vitamins and fragrant juice;
    • Kiwi and mango- these tropical "guests" are already firmly on our table. If you combine them with traditional apples and bananas, which by the way are also tropical strangers, you get an incredibly exotic smoothie in taste;
    • strawberry- this berry is just as attractive on the outside as it is tasty on the inside. It's high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. And how nice it looks, cut in half or sliced! What would a smoothie be without strawberries?
    • Blueberries, currants, lingonberries, lingonberries, sea buckthornand other berries are a veritable nutrient store. Choose One - Your weight loss diet smoothies will only get better from them.
    3. Fruits, berries, and spinach are great for making healthy smoothies

  3. Vegetables and vegetablesadded in the volume of half a glass, as well as fruit fillings. Greens are the best source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so be sure to add them to improve digestion, maintain beauty, and maintain overall health. Vegetables also contain more vitamins than fruits, so include them in your nutritional smoothie often.

  4. Giveadditional flavorsYou can add the following ingredients to smoothies:

    • thick yogurt (quarter cup) - for a thicker consistency;
    • honey (half a tablespoon) - for a sweeter taste;
    • Dates, figs, plums (3-4 pieces) - for more density and sweet taste;
    • Cinnamon, ginger, cocoa powder, vanilla (half a teaspoon) - for complex aromas, a more complex taste and a faster metabolism.

  5. Protein & Energy Supplements & Superfoodsmake smoothies not only a delicious and nutritious diet shake, but also a complete meal that is balanced in proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This contains:

    • Protein sports mixes (protein isolates and concentrates, casein);
    • Linseed;
    • Chia seeds;
    • Spirulina;
    • Acai berries;
    • Oat bran;
    • ground oatmeal;
    • Crushed nut's.

What foods shouldn't be added to diet smoothies for weight loss?

Now that you know how to make the perfect smoothie for a slim figure, it's worth reading this list of "dangerous" ingredients to avoid. Getting carried away with losing weight with smoothies, it's easy to overdo it with "prohibited" productsthat lead you further from your goal or even completely demotivate you.

  • Canned fruits and vegetablescontain a lot of added sugar as it is an excellent preservative. Do not buy them if you are on a diet. Only eat fresh or frozen food.
  • Fatty dairy productsare high in calories. Of course, a banana whipped with thick heavy cream paired with a guest of nuts is just a picture, but you will have to completely forget about losing weight on such a diet.
  • Dairy products with sugary fillings contain added sugar that has nothing to do with weight loss. Make sure to exclude yogurt, milkshakes, snowball, and other sugary foods.
  • Sports supplements high in carbohydrates are suitable for those who are building muscle and are not suitable for losing weight. The so-called "gainers" contain a lot of unnecessary calories, which makes them absolutely unsuitable for weight loss. Only choose a protein with low enough carbohydrate content (approx. 8 g per 100 g), or with none at all.

Attention!If you are serious about making the decision to lose weight and lose weight, be sure to read the composition of the products you buy. Pay attention to the sugar content, sugary additives (molasses, dextrose, maltodextrin, fructose and other confectionery), the amount of fat and carbohydrates. Remember that even a small, sweet, supposedly "real" protein bar can ruin your efforts simply because it contains a large amount of sugar in addition to protein.
