Is it Healthy To Have A Smoothie For Breakfast?
Having a smoothie for breakfast is very healthy (depending on the type of smoothie you make).
When I make breakfast smoothies I make sure it has a great balance of protein, healthy fat and plant-based carbohydrates. Not only is this delicious and very enjoyable but, I find this combination helps to keep me feeling satisfied for hours!
Do Smoothies Help You Lose Weight?
There truly are no miracle foods when it comes to weight loss. Ultimately, we have to take in less energy than we burn AND be in an easy, relaxed state of being.
However, I have found that focusing on real, whole, foods that are both nourishing and delicious is the key to maintaining a healthy weight without a lot of effort.
So yes! A well balanced smoothie, with plenty of protein and healthy fat can absolutely help you lose weight. And this recipe has become one of my favorites!
