Many smoothie recipes are just fruit, which, while tasty, don’t do a lot for us. We want to improve our health with what we eat, as well as working at or keeping control of our weight. That’s why we include superfoods – to make our smoothies work for our bodies And we want all that to work well within our weight loss program. Win, win!
This tasty recipe is from Jennifer Iserloh at SkinnyChef. For a really healthy diet, full of superfoods, Jennifer suggests …
Including fast and tasty smoothies can even help you to meet some of your health goals including weight loss, clearer skin, or better digestion!
Smoothies can also work as fast, low-cal meal replacement, that you can whip up in 5 minutes – a quick fix to “reset” your body after a holiday splurge. Be sure you build them the correct way though, by including good quality protein sources (that are also superfoods) such as kefir or other cultured dairy like yogurt, nuts and adding incredible healing greens like kale and spinach.
Then add in antioxidant rich fruits like raspberries, cherries, pomegranate and blueberries.
Recipe: Superfood Double Chocolate Smoothie for 200 Calories
The SkinnyChef says …
Chocolate is a sinfully delicious food that also happens to be a superfood when you prepare it the right way: Real chocolate that contains 70-100% cocoa is where the health benefits lie. Cocoa has been studied for its ability to combat cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure. But you won’t find any of those benefits if you’re eating milk chocolate bars, so use 100% real, unsweetened cocoa in your smoothies and baked goods.
Serves 3; approx 200 cals each
Ingredients:
2 cups Raspberries, frozen
1-1/2 cups plain reduced fat Yogurt or Kefir
4-8 Ice cubes
2 tablespoon unsweetened Cocoa powder
scant 2 oz / 50 g bittersweet Chocolate, chipped*
1/2-1 cup Water
1 teaspoon raw Honey
* Grate or chop real chocolate bar with 75-85% cocoa solids. Save a few of the chips to decorate the top of your smoothies and provide the crunch. Or just enjoy that wonderful melt-in-the-mouth factor of shaved or grated chocolate instead.
Blend until smooth and enjoy.
