(29)Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for a green smoothie to help you lose weight in a healthy way. It is loaded with nutrition as well as fiber that fills you up, leaving no room for mindlessly munching on junk food.
The spinach in this smoothie is a great source of antioxidants that aid detoxification. It is also rich in iron, protein and fiber.
Swedish researchers found that it also helps curb cravings for sweet treats and junk food. The recipe also includes pineapple that helps improve metabolism and boost fat loss.
Green apple is another excellent fruit for weight loss due to its high fiber and polyphenol content. Cucumbers, too, are effective for losing weight because they help add extra bulk without adding to the fat and calorie content.
Plus, adding ground flaxseed to the smoothie increases its fiber content that promotes feelings of fullness. Flaxseed also contains omega-3 fatty acids that help increase feelings of satiety. Studies have found flaxseed to be effective in promoting weight loss. It also improves digestive health.
