Smoothies can undoubtedly be a component of your weight-loss program if this is what you're after, but only when done correctly. Nutritionists believe that including a nutrient-dense smoothie in your daily diet will help you avoid gaining weight by controlling appetite and even promoting weight loss due to the filling fiber and muscle-building protein they contain. 

‍

So, here are the top 3 smoothie recipes for weight reduction to find out what go-to slimming drinks other women consume:

1. Berryanilla Blast

With only 250 calories and 18 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, this refreshing and delicious smoothie will keep you satiated while also keeping your energy and blood sugar levels in check. If you're trying to avoid consuming extra calories from unhealthier options, the rich and creamy sweetness of this smoothie is especially ideal for satisfying a sweet appetite. The experts also mentioned, "Plus, the berries include the phytochemical C3G, which has been shown to improve the synthesis of both adiponectin (which boosts fat metabolism) and leptin (which suppresses appetite),".

‍

Ingredients:

• 1-quart plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 8 ounces unsweetened frozen strawberries or blueberries
• 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 banana, frozen
• 1 tsp cinnamon

In a blender, combine half of the yoghurt, berries, and milk and blend until smooth. Blend in the remaining ingredients until completely smooth. (Note: This recipe serves three people, so either saves it for later or pour it into three glasses and share!)

2. Rise of the green smoothie

While losing weight, you'll obtain a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as important vitamins and minerals from this smoothie.

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop protein powder 
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1½ oz sliced avocado
• 1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy.

3. Tropical delight smoothie

Pineapple has a diuretic effect which helps the body get rid of retained water. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen mango chunks
• 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• 1 1/2 unsweetened coconut water
• 1 cup leafy greens (baby spinach, kale, collard greens, etc.)
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy. (Note: This recipe yields about two servings.)

With that, all these recipes cater towards adding nutrient-dense smoothies to your daily diet to control weight gains. However, a perfect smoothie will not make you lose weight by itself. In truth, no single thing will accomplish this—at least not in a healthy or long-term manner. If you want to reduce weight (and not everyone does), you'll need to address a number of other aspects, including sleep, stress, hormones, and other medical concerns.
