Smoothies for Weight Loss

List of 20 healthy smoothies for weight loss.

This list of 20+ healthy smoothies are easy to make and can help to support a healthy weight loss plan.

Smoothies are the bomb.com! Don’t you guys agree??

They are SO easy to make, are packed full of nutrients, and can help to support healthy weight loss.

They are so versatile, the flavor combinations are endless, and they make the perfect snack OR meal.

I LOVE smoothies for those busy mornings when I am rushing out the door – smoothies are the perfect on the go wholesome and nutritious breakfast.

When making smoothies, I always try to stay away from the overly processed meal replacement shakes. Instead, I make my smoothies from a clean protein powder and whole food ingredients. Bring on the fruits and veggies!

Lately, I have been loving KOS Protein Powder.

Pro Tip: If you are not big on veggies -smoothies are a great option for you because they are super easy to sneak in those veggies – you seriously can’t even taste spinach in a smoothie.

Are smoothies good for weight loss?

Smoothies will not automatically burn your fat off. But they can be a great addition to a healthy weight loss plan – when done right.

Smoothies that are made with whole foods are nutrient-dense and full of fiber – which can fight off hunger and keep you satisfied throughout the day.

When drinking smoothies to lose weight be sure to avoid adding any added sugar (the sugar in the fruit should act as the sweetener), fruit juice, ice cream, etc.

My favorite ingredients to add to healthy smoothies for weight loss are:

  1. Spinach
  2. Kale
  3. Unsweetened Almond Milk
  4. Coconut Water
  5. Strawberries
  6. Blueberries
  7. Banana
  8. Pineapple
  9. Clean Protein Powder
  10. Collagen Powder
  11. Chia Seeds
  12. Flax Seeds
  13. Greens Powder
  14. Cacao
  15. Greek Yogurt

It is fun to experiment with different flavor combinations of ingredients – but sometimes it is also easier to follow a recipe.

And, if you are in the market for a new blender…I am OBSESSED with mine! The Nutri Ninja will seriously change your life and up your smoothie making game. It is very reasonably priced on Amazon too.

The Complete High Protein Food List {printable with calories}

Eating sufficient protein can help with weight loss while preserving muscle.  Print this high protein food list for your fridge or notebook today and get new ideas for dietary protein. But, I thought a more comprehensive list would be fun to make, organized by how many grams of protein you get when weights are equal (100 grams).  What is protein? Proteins are large molecules found in living cells. Proteins are like building blocks to build tissues in the human body, such as muscle tissue, bones, blood, and even hormones. Proteins function as enzymes, antibodies, and they assist in maintaining fluid balance. Why protein should be included in your diet While our bodies are capable of making certain amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, there are are others, called essential amino acids, that can only be obtained through food. Because our bodies are constantly turning over tissue, new proteins are needed to replace degraded existing proteins. Cell growth, repair, and main...

20 High Protein Casserole Recipes

  I love casseroles, as I’m sure many of you do too. There’s something that is oh, so comforting about them. What’s more, they can feed a crowd. Casseroles also good for meal prepping- bake once, and you have leftovers you can pack for lunch or even dinner. Also, most casseroles use only one dish. So, you don’t have a ton of cleanup at the end. But most casseroles contain a ton of refined carbs and very little protein. This is a problem because when you don’t have enough protein, you don’t feel full…and that dessert seems so tempting. I have the perfect solution: High Protein Casseroles. Since they’re high in protein, they’re filling. So, you don’t end up having extra servings or two. Today, I’m sharing 20 High Protein Casserole Recipes. They’re not only high in protein but sure to delight your taste buds. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s make some casseroles! 1.

20 High Protein Meal Prep Ideas

  Are you trying to lose weight? Protein is the key. When you lose weight, you also lose muscle mass. And that’s when you get saggy, loose skin- yuck! By adding more protein to your diet, you increase your muscle mass. And in turn, you look better in your clothes. Adding more protein can also help you lose weight in the first place too. That’s because of all the macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat), protein helps you feel full the most. And when you feel full, you’re less likely to binge on unhealthy foods. Like that bag of chips that is calling your name. But we all live busy lives, and eating high protein meals can fall by the wayside. So, it’s a good idea to meal prep, so you have no excuse not to eat high protein meals. Today, I’m sharing 20 high protein meal prep ideas. They’re not only high in protein but delicious as well. 1.
