If weight loss is on your agenda and your desire for a slimmer waistline is high (the summer months are coming….!) then healthy smoothies for breakfast are a great place to start.
Shedding the kilos is no longer about reducing your calories or kilojoules. The foods you choose to eat send messages to your body – there will be foods that nourish and nurture or foods that deplete and drain your body.
If you start your day with a healthy protein packed breakfast, like a smoothie, then you’ve made the right choice to nourish your body and sending it the right messages for weight loss.
Here are two yummy smoothie recipes for you to add to your everyday, that are part of my Eat Clean Reset Your Body 14 Day Program – you can check it out here.
THE RAW LOVE SMOOTHIE
- 1 ½ cups dairy free milk
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 cup kale
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 drops of vanilla extract (optional)
THE CLEANSER SMOOTHIE
- 1 ½ cups dairy free milk
- 1 cup mixed greens
- ½ cup berries, fresh or frozen
- ½ cup cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- Dash cinnamon
- Juice from one lemon
METHOD: If you have a high-speed blender, add all of the ingredients
For each smoothie, simply blend all of the ingredients in the order they are listed. Blend until smooth. If you want your smoothie to be colder, add ice cubes. You can use a high-speed blender or normal stand up blender. Feel free to add water to reach your desired thickness. Use organic produce whenever possible. Each smoothie recipe serves two people.
Protein, as I’ve mentioned is a very important ingredient in your healthy breakfast smoothies, to start your blood sugars off in a good mood! You can add extra protein to any smoothie by including a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Try hemp protein /pea protein. You can also use 3 tablespoons of hemp/other seeds.
