Recipes For Weight Loss Fruit Smoothies

These healthy smoothie recipes are great for weight loss, and they taste great too! These are the best smoothie recipes with lots of protein and simple, real ingredients!

During college I used to order a smoothie from our campus smoothie bar almost every day. Like many people, I assumed that they were healthy and good for weight loss.

The best way to find good smoothies for weight loss or to provide your body with lots of real nutritional benefits is to make them yourself. That way you know exactly what is inside your glass!

When I enjoy a smoothie, I do so in place of breakfast (these smoothies all have lots of nutritional goodness to provide energy to start your day) or as a healthy snack.

We tried to include a variety of different smoothies to fit in with a variety of eating styles and diets – from low calorie to high protein. Every smoothie recipe on the list might not work for you, but hopefully you’ll find plenty of inspiration!

For example, if you’re following a low-calorie diet, the rich paleo smoothies might eat up a large chunk of your daily allotment. However, on a paleo diet you don’t usually count calories, so it would be a perfect fit in that case!

Smoothies Recipes For Weight Loss By Dave Jones

There are many reasons why an individual may want to lose weight. I consulted as a Nutritionist for years helping people do just that. It was always a focus of mine to make sure my clients had realistic weight loss goals while also supporting them in a balanced approach.

This weight loss smoothie recipes is a twist on a smoothie I included in many client meal plans and it can help promote healthy weight loss in conjunction with a balanced diet!

This all depends on what’s IN your smoothies! Because smoothies come in many combinations and sizes, there are those that can definitely support weight loss, in your weight loss journey while others may not. It also depends on your own personal nutritional needs, but I do think smoothies can be a great part of a healthy weight loss plan.

This means no added sugar that comes from sweetened juices or other refined sugar sources. Whole fruits and small amounts of natural sweeteners (maple syrup, dates, or honey) are totally fine and healthy way to help with your sweet tooth without loading you up on processed sugars.

Because smoothies are often fruit-forward, it’s very important they also contain protein to help balance the carbohydrates from the fruit. The protein also supports muscle recovery and building for better body composition. Whether this is peanut butter, almond butter, pea protein, cashew butter, a plant based protein, or vanilla protein powder this can all help to give a nice protein boost to the drink.

Just like protein the fat helps to balance out the sugar content of the smoothie, and it also makes the smoothie filling and satisfying. But, becausefat is more caloric, it’s important to moderate the fat content. A tablespoon of nut butter or coconut oil, or 1/4 of an avocado is often enough!

To make this delicious and refreshing smoothie you only need a handful of ingredients, each with a specific purpose tied to weight loss support.

**If you prefer you can swap out the collagen for another protein powder of your choice, but I recommend the collagen as it’s undetectable in taste and texture, so it won’t change the flavour
