I don’t usually post healthy eating recipes that are specifically for weight loss, but I know at this time of year many of us have wellness goals that include weight loss.

I want to preface this post by saying there is nothing wrong with the desire for some weight loss! We live in a time where body positivity and self-acceptance is widely promoted and I am completely in support of this. But, it is also possible to practice self-love and acceptance while also journeying to establish a healthy weight that works for you!

Delicious Juice And Green Smoothie Recipes: Lose Weight And Increase Vitality (cleanse Plan & Shopping Guide Included) (paperback)

There are many reasons why an individual may want to lose weight. I consulted as a Nutritionist for years helping people do just that. It was always a focus of mine to make sure my clients had realistic weight loss goals while also supporting them in a balanced approach.

This weight loss smoothie recipes is a twist on a smoothie I included in many client meal plans and it can help promote healthy weight loss in conjunction with a balanced diet!

This all depends on what’s IN your smoothies! Because smoothies come in many combinations and sizes, there are those that can definitely support weight loss, in your weight loss journey while others may not. It also depends on your own personal nutritional needs, but I do think smoothies can be a great part of a healthy weight loss plan.

Healthy Protein Packed Super Smoothies For Weight Loss!

This means no added sugar that comes from sweetened juices or other refined sugar sources. Whole fruits and small amounts of natural sweeteners (maple syrup, dates, or honey) are totally fine and healthy way to help with your sweet tooth without loading you up on processed sugars.

Because smoothies are often fruit-forward, it’s very important they also contain protein to help balance the carbohydrates from the fruit. The protein also supports muscle recovery and building for better body composition. Whether this is peanut butter, almond butter, pea protein, cashew butter, a plant based protein, or vanilla protein powder this can all help to give a nice protein boost to the drink.

Just like protein the fat helps to balance out the sugar content of the smoothie, and it also makes the smoothie filling and satisfying. But, becausefat is more caloric, it’s important to moderate the fat content. A tablespoon of nut butter or coconut oil, or 1/4 of an avocado is often enough!

Weight Loss Smoothie

To make this delicious and refreshing smoothie you only need a handful of ingredients, each with a specific purpose tied to weight loss support.

**If you prefer you can swap out the collagen for another protein powder of your choice, but I recommend the collagen as it’s undetectable in taste and texture, so it won’t change the flavour of the smoothie at all. It also contains no added sugars or artificial flavours/additives.

Making this smoothie is a super simple and quick process. You can easily put this smoothie together for a quick breakfast, or pre-or post-workout snack.

Paleo.

We’ve all heard the nutrition advice that we shouldn’t skip breakfast because it’s the most important meal of the day. But what that advice fails to tell us is that it’s WHAT we eat for breakfast that is really the important part. 

The reason that’s so important is that what you eat for breakfast sets the tone for how your body runs and feels…. for the entire day!

The Smoothie Plan

Just by eating a high protein breakfast (at least 25 grams of protein, ideally 35-40 grams), you’ll have lower sugar cravings, increased energy and focus, stable blood sugar, and a boosted metabolism (which helps you lose fat) that extends throughout the entire day. (source, source, source). 

But when you eat a breakfast high in carbohydrates, you’ll very likely feel hungry two hours later, crave carbs and sugar all day, stress your metabolism (which ramps up fat storage signals), have roller coaster blood sugar, and likely be a bit moody, irritable…plus, you’ll have more trouble focusing.

Sound familiar at all? If so, you aren’t alone! I used to eat a bagel and/or cereal every morning and experienced these unpleasant symptoms every day. What a night and day difference eating a high protein breakfast made for me!

Awesome Smoothies For Weight Loss

A high protein breakfast has profound effects on the neurotransmitters that control hunger, brain function and energy levels. A high protein breakfast produces a gradual and sustained increase in blood sugar which results in a consistent nutrient supply to the brain and muscles. It keeps us full and satisfied longer and ramps up our metabolism and fat burning capabilities.

If you find yourself constantly hungry, craving sweets, lacking energy and/or perhaps having a hard time losing weight, I invite you to try my Fat Burning Breakfast Smoothie Recipe (or just follow this breakfast nutrition advice by eating more protein –

25 grams, ideally 35-40 grams – and less carbohydrates in the morning) for one week to see if you notice a difference.

Fat Burning Green Tea And Vegetable Smoothie

This isn’t about restricting anything or making any major changes. This is just one simple breakfast change that can make a drastic difference in your health. Your metabolism will get a nice boost, you won’t crave nearly as much sugar, your brain will run optimally and your entire body will run so much smoother. All of that makes a big difference in your health, waistline, relationships, school/career, mood, energy levels and your happiness.

Seriously! I’ve personally experienced this, but here’s some of my favorite feedback about what others have said after following this simple high protein breakfast advice:

To make it super easy, I formulated a High Protein, Fat Burning Breakfast Smoothie Recipe that I’ve been personally consuming for years. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big advocate of eating a protein packed, real food breakfast and I try to eat one as often as a can (my favorite is an omelet packed with leftover chicken, spinach, sprinkled with Romano cheese, served with a side of fruit – yum!!!). And if you can do a nice home cooked breakfast everyday, then by all means, do it.  But at this point in my life, that’s just not practical. 

Green Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss

So I formulated an easy breakfast smoothie recipe that would meet my requirements for a healthy, high protein breakfast filled with a nice balance of healthy fats and nourishing ingredients so it would give my body a great start to run it’s very best all day. And now I’m giving my personal recipe to you.  It’s my hope that this simple change can make just as big of a difference for you as it’s made for me and many others.

My high protein, Fat Burning Breakfast Smoothie recipe contains everything you need to get started on the right foot: antioxidant rich fruit and veggies, a lot of high quality, healthy protein (my base recipe starts at 27 grams of protein, but with one of the recommended optional add-ins, you’ll get 40 grams of protein each morning! That’s just the amount we want!) and I can’t forget those wonderful healthy fats for brain and hormone health and that help boost metabolism. Plus, it is absolutely delicious! I look forward to it each morning 🙂

It’s no secret that in the past I haven’t been a huge fan of protein powders. Most out there are filled with artificial, low quality ingredients and unhealthy fillers. But recently, some truly great protein powder options have entered the market that I’m really excited about. I’ve tried many of the “good” ones and my personal favorite protein powder is from Vital Proteins.  The ingredients, the taste, the texture and the quality, in my option, are unmatched.

There’s no added sugars and nothing artificial….just high quality, simple, real ingredients. This stuff is the bomb! It comes in 3 flavors: cocoa, vanilla and organic unflavored. We like the cocoa the best, but we’ve truly enjoyed all of them. If you are looking for a great quality protein powder filled with nourishing ingredients (and that actually tastes really good!), these are my favorite options.
