Healthy smoothies at home save money & help with weight loss
We have been making our own fruit shakes at home for several weeks now. We were going to Jamba Juice everyday, but at a cost of over $5 per Smoothie everyday, that option was going to add up. Jamba Juice alone saw profits of over $300 million in 2007. So I wanted to stop adding to their bottom line.
Also even though most smoothies are composed primarily of fruit, they can have a very high sugar content. Some are often especially high in sugar, and can replace fruit with fruit juice. Jamba Juice’s Citrus Squeeze is made of orange juice, pineapple juice and strawberries, and contains 440 calories, four grams of fiber, and 97 grams of sugar. Its greatest health benefit is the extremely high dose of vitamin C.
When making smoothies at home, you should make sure to incorporate less sugar and more fibrous fruits, such as bananas and raspberries.
They help in your weight loss program by:
- Reduce your urge to eat. Fruit smoothies are packed with ingredients proven to keep you full for hours, so they reduce your urge to eat!
- Boosting your metabolism. Food choices at breakfast time can determine your blood sugar levels for the rest of the day. Studies show when there is a combination of carbohydrate, protein and fat, which slow digestion, the sugar is gradually absorbed into the blood. The result is a higher level of energy for many hours and lower fat-making insulin levels. Adding Flax Oil or Wheat Germ can to a protein-rich fruit smoothie, is an excellent combination of carbohydrate, protein and fat.
- Faster weight loss with smoothies. Various studies have shown that consuming the same amount of calories in a smoothie making losing weight faster then if you ate the same amount of calories in food.
Here's our Banana Berry Metabolism-boosting protein-rich fruit smoothie:
1/2 c fresh (or frozen unsweetened) blueberries
1/2 c fresh (or frozen unsweetened) raspberries
1/2 c fresh pineapple slices
1 tlbspn whey protein
1 tlbspn flax seed oil
1 tlbspn wheat germ
1/2 c low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt
1 c ice
