Not sure what to eat in the morning? These healthy weight loss smoothies are a great way of burning fat and starting your day right.

If you want to lose weight, smoothies can be a fantastic helping hand, and they taste absolutely great without the need for added sugar!

Are Smoothies Good for Losing Weight?

Absolutely! Unlike fruit juice, they retain all the health benefits, fiber, and pulp from fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds and will help keep you full.

What Should I Put in My Smoothie to Lose Weight?

Fruits – grapes and apples (higher in sugar), mangos, melons, citrus fruits and tropical fruits

Berries – blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are great.

Vegetables – I’d stick to the greens, but you can use any vegetable you want. I especially love carrots!

Seeds/Nuts – pumpkin, sunflower, chia, flax, hemp seeds. Almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, brazil nuts, etc.

Milk – regular milk, almond, oat, coconut milk, etc.

Protein – nuts, seeds, nut butter, cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, protein powder, nut powder, etc.

Why Smoothies Help You Burn Fat

The body performs better in all of its systems if your diet is providing the nutrition it needs. When you feel more energized, you will move more, use more calories and start to burn stored fat as the body looks for extra fuel sources.

Smoothies will encourage you to drink more, leaving you more hydrated, which can also help with fat loss.
