How to make smoothies that are low fat as well as great tasting are essential to a healthier diet and green smoothies are an incredible way to load up on your veggies and vitamins fast. With so many smoothie recipes to choose from it can be difficult to known which recipes offer both a low fat alternative and that taste great. There are some base guidelines to follow to ensure you are making a low fat green smoothie that offers the health benefits and is low fat.
Ingredients To A Low Fat Green Smoothie
- Low fat plain yogurt
- Greek yogurt
- Rolled oats
- Fresh spinach
- Avocado
- Blueberries
- Cucumber
- Watermelon
- Bananas
- Flax Seed
These ingredients may seem random and may not sound too appetizing when blended and it is not necessary to pile them all in your blender in one smoothie recipe. Pick and choose from the veggies and fruits along with the yogurt, oats, and flax seed. I like adding 1/4 cup of rolled oats to my morning smoothie because it creates a thick texture as well as keeping me full longer.
A cool little trick to keep the flavor of your smoothie with out adding ice is to place watermelon chunks in your freezer and use in place of ice. Watermelon is a great natural diuretic that helps to cleanse the toxins quickly from your system.
