Boost your metabolism, crush cravings, and sip your way to a healthier you with these fat-burning smoothies!
If you’re not used to drinking smoothies, it may seem strange to replace a meal with a drink.
But once you’ve tried a few of the low calorie smoothies on this list, you’ll certainly be converted to the merits of drinking your breakfast!
And if you want to burn fat, science says that are a few things that tip the odds in your favour. Just make sure you have a balanced diet, too.
What does the science say about fat burning and weight loss?
Firstly, you might want to get some HIIT in (high intensity interval training). Strength and aerobic training also help .
Keep the protein high – these smoothies also help to do that. If you struggle with protein intake, check out The Vegetarian Protein Fix .
Thermogenic foods can also help. Check out these metabolism boosting foods , as well as ingredients like ginger .
Healthy smoothies: start the day right
If you’re losing weight and looking for a satisfying and tasty way to start the day, consider a low calorie, but filling smoothie!
This avocado and spinach smoothie is a good place to start since it comes in at just 292 calories but contains a whopping 14g of protein, meaning that it’ll keep you feeling full until lunch.
While all of the low calorie smoothies for weight loss on this list work well for breakfast, there are certain classic flavour combinations that are more palatable when you’ve just woken up: this blueberry and banana low calorie smoothie has got those classic breakfast flavours without the hassle of having to actually cook the oatmeal or pancakes!
