Spring is the time to cleanse and prepare your body for the bikini season. Starting your day with lukewarm lemon water and a green smoothie for breakfast is the best way to cleanse your body and lose some extra padding.
Moreover, green smoothies are the perfect way to reduce cravings, they keep your blood sugar stable, boost energy, and are ideal to burn fat efficiently.
A few Tips & Tricks To Make Your Green Smoothie A Fat-burning, Healthy And Delicious Meal
- Avoid dairy products in your green smoothies. Some people like to add milk or yogurt to their smoothies for the added calcium. Instead, add calcium-rich foods like dandelion greens, kale, oranges, figs, kiwis, or chia seeds. As a matter of fact, dairy products contain excess fat, hormones, and other weight loss sabotaging additives.
- Eschew adding sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, or sugar in your smoothies. Moreover, if you use enough sweet fruits there will be no need to sweeten things up.
