(You can read these in the original article – see below.)
In the meantime check out the 4 recipes below and let me know what you think.
According to Ryan ...
Smoothies are a great tool for weight loss because you control the ingredients. They make perfect vehicles for relatively low-calorie, yet nutrient-laden ingredients that are capable of keeping you full for a long time.
By combining the right ingredients, you can create smoothies that taste great and help you drop pounds. It doesn’t take long to learn what to use and how to make the right combinations.
Just keep reading and start losing!
Weight Loss Smoothie Recipes – Intro
Below are 4 ideas for weight loss smoothies to get you started.
Note, some of these smoothies may seem high in calories, but keep mind those are good calories that will help you shed weight and feel full until your next meal.
Prep instructions are the same for each of these recipes.
… place all of the ingredients into your high-speed blender and blend for around 30-45 seconds or until nice and smooth.
Note: If you don’t have a very powerful blender and your coconut oil is in liquid form, you might want to blend everything except the coconut oil first, then drizzle it on and blend for another 5-10 seconds to avoid clumping.
As always, feel free to add and subtract ingredients based on what you prefer and have on hand.
