Smoothies For Weight Loss

Whether you’re new to the smoothie-making scene with a barely-out-of-the-box NutriBullet in your kitchen or your blender has hundreds of smoothies under its blades, you can easily learn how to make a delicious, satisfying smoothie that can also help you.

As Popsugar describes, the best smoothies are a blend of: fiber, protein, healthy fats, carbs, and hydration. Here are a couple recipes that perfectly balance all of those components for optimal weight loss. Their recipes call for soy, which tends to be heavily processed and mess with your hormones. As an alternative, consider vegan yogurts.
