Vanilla Smoothie For Weight Loss
Lose Weight with this Healthy, Low Fat Smoothie Recipe
Nov 12, 2009
There is no shame in loving vanilla. Thanks to this incredible Vanilla Smoothie for Weight Loss, it is possible to lose weight fast while satisfying hunger and a sweet tooth simultaneously. This healthy, low calorie recipe is guaranteed to give fruit smoothies a run for their money.
How To Lose Weight Fast
Diet pills are never the answer. Healthy meals combined with regular exercise and fun hobbies solve the problem every time. Health and fitness is a lifestyle choice, not a means to an end. Losing weight is great, but only if it's safe. Smoothies are a wonderful, filling meal replacement that can provide necessary vitamins, minerals, proteins, and yes, even fat and carbs, too. Completely eliminating those last two only causes hunger and crankiness, which is why the Vanilla Smoothie for Weight Loss has a little bit of both.
A Smoothie Without Fruit Juice
This smoothie recipe uses nonfat milk instead of juice. With vanilla yogurt, vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast, and a splash of vanilla creamer, it's a vanilla lover's dream. For an extra 100 calories, feel free to add a cup of your favorite fruit to the mix. Banana, orange, berries, melon, mango, and pineapple are examples of fruits that will complement this smoothie.
An important thing to consider: a drink that contains ice cream is not a smoothie – it’s a shake. When done right, however, a smoothie can be every bit as mouth-watering, and with a slimming effect!
Substitute With Splenda
Many of the following ingredients can be substituted for sugarless versions. In that case, use several packets of a sugar substitute, such as Splenda, to maintain sweetness. Ingredients that offer sugarless versions are marked with an asterisk.
