Do Green Smoothies Really Help You Lose Weight?

When packed with the right ingredients, like you’ve seen in our Lean Green Protein Smoothie recipe, green smoothies can be a key step in your weight loss plan. But let’s run through those ingredients one more time, just in terms of weight loss.

Almond Milk—Switching from regular milk to almond milk can significantly cut down on sugary carbs, one of the first things necessary for losing weight quickly.
Kale—Adding kale to a green smoothie not only packs it with nutrition but adds quality fiber content that is essential for weight loss.
Avocado—We know that consuming healthy fats like those found in avocado is actually an essential part of any well-balanced diet.
Lean—The protein in Lean not only keeps you full and satisfied, it helps increase lean muscle mass which can boost metabolism and increase weight loss as well!*

So yeah, we’re calling this Lean Green Protein Smoothie good for weight loss, for sure.

What Liquids Are Best For Green Smoothies?

If you want to keep your green smoothie as healthy as possible, the liquid ingredients are just as important as the solids. You want to steer clear of anything that is going to tip the sugar scales or that is packed with unnecessary calories. Here are a few of our favorite healthy smoothie liquids.

Water—It’s a great choice for a bright green smoothie that’s all about the, well, greens. No additives or thickeners, no calories!
Almond milk—Lots of our favorite smoothies use almond milk. It’s a great alternative to cow’s milk that contains a lot more sugar and calories. Plus it’ll still make your smoothie nice and creamy.
Coconut milk—Another popular choice (which you could even opt for in this Lean Green Protein smoothie!) for creamy goodness.
Other options— cashew milk and coconut water.

The key is to mix it up and try new things to keep those green smoothies (and every other smoothie!) healthy, nutritious, and totally crave-worthy. Just don’t make the mistake of thinking you’ve got to cut out all your old favorites, because supporting your healthy lifestyle and coming up with mouthwatering recipes that improve on the classics is what we’re here for.
