Need a weight loss smoothie recipe? Simple enough, search the internet for a “healthy” weight loss smoothie recipe…WRONG…I tried but my goodness such bad advice out there!
This is what I discovered several weeks ago while preparing for a speaking engagement with 100+ business women. Shocking was not only the bad advice, but the unhealthy recipes and recommendations for those wanting to reduce their weight.
There are a few basic No No’s in the weight loss department.
Commercial Yogurt – In concept yogurt should be a great product, but unfortunately our choices are limited here in USA. Our store shelves are full of yogurt made from cows fed GMO corn, bovine growth hormones and antibiotics, this translates into a toxic mix.
Fruit juice – Fruit juice will not assist in weight loss, concentrated sugars are a bad idea.
Whey Protein Powder – Most whey protein powders are loaded with the same toxins as the commercial yogurt.
Cottage cheese – Same toxic milk source as commercial yogurt.
Soy milk – Seriously? Worst food for women, messes with our hormones.
Lack of Greens – Where’s the good stuff like greens? You know spinach, romaine, red leaf lettuce, bok choy, turnup greens, etc. These wonderful greens help you to detoxify AND lose weight.
Lacking a great weight loss green smoothie recipe on the world wide web, it was time to buckle down and get creative. Ta Da…Try this “new” delicious green smoothie that will assist in losing those extra pounds.
Key ingredient? Do you remember the grapefruit diet from the 1990’s? According to Dr. Axe, consuming grapefruit will assist in weight loss, reduction of cellulite, boost your immune system and much more: https://draxe.com/grapefruit-benefits-weight-loss/. There is nothing to lose (except weight) by adding this delicious smoothie to your daily regime for several weeks. If Kombucha is available in your local market, all the better. Kombucha is a natural probiotic food which will assist your body in absorbing nutrients and cleanse your body of toxins.
Let me know of your success!
