3 easy and delicious recipes packed with nutrients and good-for-you weight loss
Smoothies are a great way to lose weight, get extra nutrients in our bodies, and refuel after a workout.
We can customize them, and they’re incredibly versatile. Smoothies are perfect for breakfast, as a way to refuel, or for those gotta-have-something-sweet moments.
When I first started eating healthier, smoothies quickly became part of my routine. These easy oat smoothie recipes for weight loss were my go-to. I’d also make a green smoothie or a treat smoothie (with all kinds of good-for-you ingredients).
They’re an easy and delicious way to consume whole grains, greens, fruits, and veggies each day.
Smoothies are also convenient and require little prep time.
Weight loss can be challenging. And transitioning to a healthier diet takes commitment and intentional choices before it becomes a habit that sticks.
We’re faced with temptations everywhere we go. Candy bars, chips, soda, etc. — and grocery stores are intentionally set up to break down our resistance. It’s not always easy to say no, but once we build up the muscle and create healthier habits, it becomes much easier.
Within just a few weeks, our taste preferences change, as do our cravings. It’s an incredible transition that happens as our palates change. We tend to crave more of what we’re eating.

They’re also a fast way to reset if we get off course.
If you’re at all interested in getting more health into your life or losing weight, I couldn’t recommend a better place to begin.
