3 Delicious Weight Loss Smoothies
Half an avocado per serving makes this smoothie totally worthy
as a meal replacement. To make it even more filling (and flavorful), Cassie
Johnston—whose new cookbook Chia, Quinoa, Kale, Oh My! is out now—adds peanut
butter. Makes 2 servings
1 avocado, pitted
1 cup fresh spinach
1 large ripe banana
1 tablespoon natural
peanut butter
1 cup milk Handful of
ice cubes Blend all ingredients in a blender on high speed until very smooth.
Weight-Loss Smoothies: Banana Cream Pie
This smoothie, also from Johnston, might taste like
dessert—but with a half a cup of Greek yogurt in each serving, it's a much
better alternative to doughnuts and coffee cake.
Makes 2 servings
1 large ripe banana, frozen
1 cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup unsweetened nut, soy, or cow's milk
Handful of ice cubes
Graham cracker crumbs, crushed, for garnish
Combine banana, yogurt, vanilla, honey, milk, and ice in a
blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on
top before serving.
Weight-Loss Smoothies: Chocolate Chia Cherry
Johnston put together this killer antioxidant duo of dark
chocolate and cherries to make this smoothie feel extra decadent. But chia
seeds turn it into a nutritional powerhouse—just a tablespoon packs 2 grams of
protein and more than 5 grams of fiber to keep you full till lunch.
Makes 2 servings
1 cup unsweetened nut, soy, or cow's milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups pitted, halved cherries
1 medium-size ripe banana
