The best method to loose weight is to start being more active- at least a 30 min walk a day- and add some common sense changes in your diet- less sugar, less saturated fats, less carbs. A diet smoothie can help weight loss in many ways: it can successfully replace a meal (breakfast or dinner would be best), it can consist of elements that help fat burning, inducing a feeling of fullness, improve digestion and add nutrients, minerals and vitamins necessary for maintaining a healthy body and good levels of energy. A smoothie for weight loss should have fewer calories. Considering this, green smoothies would be the best choice but they are not very appealing when it comes to taste and flavor. Besides burning fat, vegetables and leafy greens are dense in nutrients and fiber. But fruit smoothies can also serve our purpose if we learn to make the right combinations.

This green smoothie is excellent for both weight loss and cleansing. It’s also delicious! Fresh mint and sweet melon are one of my favorite combinations. Dandelion greens are a great source of minerals (especially iron and calcium), protein and dietary fiber. They are also high in vitamins A (thanks to the antioxidant beta-carotene content) and C. Vitamin C also helps facilitate iron absorption. Cucumbers are a good source of vitamin C and also contain vitamin A, molybdenum, folate, manganese, silica, potassium and magnesium. Cucumbers are an excellent source of dietary fiber. The lime and mint don’t add much for nutritional value, but they provide a flavor to thisgreen smoothie recipe that complements the melon and other ingredients.
