A lot of smoothies are touted as healthy when in actuality they are loaded with an excess of sugar which can actually cause increased cravings, lead to blood sugar spikes and sabotage your weight loss efforts. As a reputed and registered personal dietitian, I believe that making your own homemade smoothie is the best way to go as you can properly measure out the ingredients and create a great tasting recipe with a balance of nutrients.
Here are a few homemade smoothie recipes that have worked wonders for my own clients, and can also help you achieve your desired weight loss goals. All you need to do is to combine ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.
