[RECIPE] Banana Smoothie Sheds Stomach Inches

I just found this cool smoothie recipe where they claim to have captured the secret ingredient mix to shedding tummy fat.

Banana Smoothie Sheds Stomach Inches

They explain briefly how these work in your body as a meal-replacement breakfast smoothie, and of course provide their recipe. It’ll not only help you towards your weight goals, but give you some additional ideas for ingredients in your own smoothie recipes.

(We also debunk the myths which claim “bananas are bad for you”, and evaluate flaxseed as a “superfood”. But you can skip these if you prefer and go on to the recipe. Just click “Next Page”)

As FitFoodHouse.com says…

If you want to be slim and healthy this summer, then you definitely have to try this delicious and very refreshing banana drink!

Luckily, bananas are a type of fruit that is allowed to be consumed while on a diet because this super-fruit contains a high level of potassium that helps to eliminate toxins from one’s body.

Besides this, when bananas are combined with flax or spinach, they boost the work of the metabolism and thus help the process of weight loss.

Like to discover the secret banana smoothie drink for a flatter tummy? Here’s how…

Keep in mind though that you need to drink this regularly to see the effect in just a week or so.

Check out the recipe and let me know what you think…but first, here's a question we are often asked...

Should You Avoid Eating Bananas?

Thanks to Tracy Russell for these comments from her article here: IncredibleSmoothies.com …



Okay, so I’m going to briefly defend bananas because they do get an undeserving bad rap.

Too Much Sugar (“They’re Fattening”): Bananas contain natural sugars that are totally different from table sugar or corn syrup. Unlike donuts and cookies, bananas will not make you fat. Yes, they contain fructose and carbohydrates, but they’re the good kind of carbs that help fuel your workouts. And the fructose in bananas won’t expand your waste line.

High Glycemic: The Glycemic Index was introduced in 1981 and was based on a study that measured how foods affect blood sugar response. It is true that bananas are “high glycemic”** compared to other fruit, but they are no worse for you than pasta, rice, corn, bread, potato, broad beans and many other foods. High glycemic simply means that the food elevates your blood sugar quicker than other foods.

**Note: However, according to the International GI Database, fully ripe bananas have a glycemic index of 51. This counts as a low glycemic index food, because its GI value is under 55.

All foods raise your blood sugar and in healthy, non-diabetic people, this is not a reason for concern at all. In fact, if your overall diet is low in fat, the sugar in fruit isn’t a concern for you either. Foods should not be avoided by healthy people because an expert made a list of foods based on a study that raise blood sugar more than other foods. Sometimes you want to raise your blood sugar quickly, like after working out.

Hybrid Fruit: Sure, bananas are a hybrid fruit. They are missing seeds and cannot reproduce without human intervention. However, hybridization is not the same thing as genetic bio-engineering as is done with genetically modified foods or GMO’s.

There are no known health risks with eating hybrid fruit such as bananas, seedless watermelons, seedless grapes and navel oranges. In fact, hybrid fruits have been around for generations with no documented ill effects.

So, to answer the question simply – No!

But what about the new wonder food – flax seed? …and the recipe…

But what about flax seed? Not so familiar with that, are we? And so WebMD raises the question:

Is flaxseed the new wonder food?

Preliminary studies show that it may help fight heart disease, diabetes and breast cancer.

Some call it one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. There’s some evidence it may help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. That’s quite a tall order for a tiny seed that’s been around for centuries…

…The Health Benefits of Flax
Although Lilian Thompson, PhD, an internationally known flaxseed researcher from the University of Toronto, says she wouldn’t call any of the health benefits of flax “conclusively established,” research indicates that flax may reduce risks of certain cancers as well as cardiovascular disease and lung disease.

So the answer seems to be “maybe”…

Go on now & check out the Banana Smoothie Recipe coming up…

Recipe: Banana Smoothie that Sheds Stomach Inches



Ingredients:



  • 1 banana

  • 1 orange

  • ½ glass low-fat or fat-free yoghurt

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • ¼ tablespoon ginger powder

  • 1/2 cup baby spinach

  • 2 tablespoons flax seeds

  • 2 tablespoons whey powder

Preparation:

Mix all the ingredients in a blender. They should be mixed well so that you obtain a drink with a thinner texture.

This drink can replace a whole meal (e.g. your breakfast) due to its nutritious content. It should be consumed in the morning as a healthy choice for breakfast and after doing some physical activities such as walking, running, cycling, or after a workout.

Enjoy!
