Powerhouse Weight Loss Smoothie

This is a yummy smoothie that even has a positive effect on weight loss.  Research suggests that blueberries play a role in defeating stubborn belly fat and offer appetite suppressing fibre. Plus the added fat loss benefits of avocado and the fiber, protein and omega-3 of chia seeds maximize the weight loss boost of this recipe.

Ingredients:

• ½ medium avocado
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup water

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for around 30-60 seconds.

One Serve Smoothie Basics

This recipe gives you just the right amount for One Smoothie.

The basics of construction for a one serve smoothie include a:​

Fruit

To stick with your fat loss goals, drop only one fruit into your blender. The benefits of fruit blind us to the fact that they contain natural sugars which spike blood sugar and sabotage fat loss efforts.​

1-3 types of vegetables

If vegetables are not a palette favorite, throwing them into a smoothie mix camouflages their flavor, while still giving you fiber, phytonutrients and more. Think greens (dandelion, spinach and kale) for added nutritional punch.​

Superfood of your choice

This is especially recommended if you’d like to enjoy a nutritional kick!

You can boost your smoothies with superfoods such as chia seeds, maca and goji berries that contribute nutrients which fight disease, increase energy and help you lose weight. Consider options which also add fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.​

Liquid base

While water offers a calorie-free smoothie base option, Greek yogurt and coconut milk may be substituted for a thicker result. These ingredients add protein along with health and weight loss properties.
