Most of the people don’t understand how low-carbohydrate diets work and what an amazing effect they can have in reducing weight.
Here you can discover a healthy green smoothie to keep you on the right low-carb/high healthy fats track. Its also packed with protein. Good if you’re following a “keto” plan…
There are also enough fruits and vegetables to satisfy your daily nutrient needs: Lemon, Baby Spinach and Avocado…each bringing powerful health benefits.
As the article author, Leanne, says about her recipe….
It can pack about 1/3 of your daily fat requirements, if that’s what you’re into. It’s low in carbs, low in sugar with a moderate amount of protein. Perfecto!
If you’re rockin’ the ketosis* like me, add 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil, 1-2 tablespoons of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Oil or flavored fish oil, and/or a handful of raw macadamia nuts or sunflower seeds to this smoothie to make it a Fat Bomb!
*Note: According to Wikipedia, the ketogenic (“keto”) diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.
