Can you lose weight drinking fruit smoothies?

Yes, if your smoothie ingredients are in line with a good weight loss plan. Most weight loss smoothies are low in carbohydrates, but some might have a moderate amount of carbs.

This smoothie fits in the low-carb category, using mixed berries and a no-carb sweetener.

Can fruit smoothies make you lose weight?

Yes. If their ingredients fit with a reasonable overall weight loss plan, or a good smoothie program for weight loss, they can certainly help you lose weight.

Natural fruit smoothies for weight loss

One benefit of the ingredients in this smoothie is that natural ingredients are less likely to be metabolic disruptors. Such disruptors may cause inflammation, and inflammation is something that will make it tough for your body to let go of excess weight, even if you seem to be doing "everything right."

It’s very flexible, the choice is yours.

I most often make mine for breakfast or a first meal of the day at lunch when intermittent fasting.

You could drink the whole thing at once, or drink half with other foods, and save the other half for a ready-made dessert or snack later in the day.

Frozen Fruit Smoothie for Weight Loss with Mixed Berries

Ingredients:

1 cup of unsweetened, additive-free almond milk--either homemade Vitamix almond milk or store-bought
1 cup of ice cubes or hot water, depending on the temperature you want your smoothie to be
1 cup of frozen mixed berries, preferably low-carb berries like raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries
liquid stevia drops to taste, or 1/2 ripe banana or another sweetener you prefer or that fits your way of eating
a pinch of white sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
2-4 tablespoons collagen peptides, optional (adds protein and a bit of creamy texture)

Instructions:

1. Gather your ingredients. If you're using warm water (I like to use warm water in winter, and ice cubes in summer) warm it in a saucepan to prepare it.

2. Add all ingredients in a blender. I used my Vitamix Blender.

frozen fruit smoothie for weight loss in Vita Mix before blending

If using a Vitamix, be sure the lid is securely fastened before blending (get the little hook on the lid to latch with the main part of the blender container, see below).

3. Blend on high till creamy. If using a Vitamix, use the tamper to help stir the ingredients thoroughly. (Never put the tamper in the blender apart from through the hole in the top of the lid! No matter how careful you might be, you will very likely ruin the tamper with the blade. Don't ask how I know this, hehe).

If using a regular blender, stop and stir with a long wooden spoon if necessary.

Taste and adjust ingredients to achieve desired flavor (I sometimes add just a bit more salt to bring out the sweetness, but obviously don't add too much!).
