Your Favorite Smoothie for Weight Loss – Almond Milk Smoothie

I come across a lot of people, who think that weight loss involves being on a strict diet and eating tasteless food; but that is a misconception. At Plateful of Yum, there are plenty of delicious foods and beverages you can indulge in which are extremely tasty and healthy. As you shed excess weight and slim down, you won’t even feel like you are on a diet.

As a Dietitian in Los Angeles, smoothies are very popular for weight loss. However, you can add too many or the wrong kinds of ingredients which can sabotage your weight loss efforts. I teach my clients how to satisfy their taste buds, their sweet tooth as well to maintain their health –in all just one glass of smoothie.  You can achieve this using almond milk as a liquid base. Here’s how.
