Healthy Smoothie Recipes - Ideal Weight Loss Recipes

By Susan Field


This article is about healthy smoothies and their benefits to your health and effectiveness for weight-loss. The natural whole foods in these drinks will improve your digestion and accelerate your fat loss.

Fresh natural whole fruits and vegetables contain an array of important vitamins and minerals that are essential for optimum health.

When we blend these natural foods we release these important beneficial compounds and make them available to the digestion to absorb easily.

Make sure to avoid sugary tropical fruits in your smoothies for weight loss, avoid banana, pineapple and mango.

This is a great way to enjoy healthy smoothies that are low on sugar. Including green vegetables and whole fruits makes sure that adequate quantities of beneficial soluble and insoluble fibre prevent the rapid uptake of fructose sugar from the fruit. Lowering your body's production of insulin means it is difficult for your body to make fat.

Another important tip for making a smoothie for weight loss is to make sure the proportion of vegetables to fruits is in an advantageous range.

An ideal ratio is 80 percent green vegetables to 20 percent fruit.

As you progress with green smoothie making, you can decrease the amount of fruit used and increase water rich vegetables like celery and cucumber.

Ideally you should consume a smoothie on an empty stomach to gain all the benefits for health and weight loss. Smoothies are rich in natural enzymes which aid the digestive process so blending fruits and vegetables is an ideal way to improve digestive health.

Following the meal replacement method is a clever way to incorporate more natural whole foods into your daily diet. Following a liquid diet plan that is designed for weight loss will still allow you to eat a healthy evening meal.

For optimum results and consistent weight loss opt for 2 meal replacements on most days.

In order to prevent hunger between meals it is however important to ad foods that contain beneficial fats or sources of protein. Doing this helps you feel full for longer.

I would always recommend buying organic fruit and vegetables where possible as they contain much higher quantities of beneficial ingredients for health and weight loss.

There are many great free resources that offer recipes that are ideally designed to achieve weight loss. Please visit my website below for further reference and to download recipes.
