Slimming Smoothies: The 5 Best Smoothie Ingredients For Weight Loss

28th February 2018 By Fit Chameleon Leave a Comment

 

Smoothies have become very popular nowadays, and it is widely believed that smoothies can help you lose weight. To make a long story short, smoothies can indeed be healthy and beneficial for weight loss. But a smoothie needs to have the right ingredients if you want the best results. Adding the wrong ingredients could make you gain weight.

With that being said, your ideal smoothie should be low in calories, but high in nutrients. Although many of the traditional ingredients for smoothies support weight loss, some can boost weight loss and overall health by different means.

Read on as we share five of the best smoothie ingredients for weight loss.

 

Green Leafy Vegetables

Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and lettuce are loaded with nutrients and fibre, but low in calories. These types of vegetables are great for losing weight and are therefore a good addition to your smoothie.

 

Berries

Berries are great sources of fibre and are also rich in antioxidants.  On top of that, berries add great flavour to your smoothies.

 

Avocados

Rich in healthy fats and other vitamins and minerals that aid weight loss, it is no surprise that avocados are one of the most popular health foods out there. So the next time you make a smoothie, consider adding in some avocado. Avocados also give your smoothies a rich and creamy texture.

 

Cinnamon

 

Cinnamon boasts many health benefits, one of which is balancing blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels mean you have lesser excess blood glucose that can be stored as fat, which ultimately helps you lose weight.

 

Greek Yoghurt

Consuming protein makes you feel more satiated for a longer time, which means you will be eating less throughout the day. This helps you lose weight in the long run. Greek yoghurt has higher protein content than regular yoghurt, so adding plain Greek yoghurt to your smoothie is a great way to get protein into your diet.

Those are some of best smoothie ingredients that will help you lose weight but if you need a little more inspiration click here for 7 of the best smoothie recipes for weight loss.

Now go ahead and make a healthy, delicious smoothie for yourself.
