General Information
Right now, 1 in every 3 adults living in America is overweight and the number of children with obesity has more than doubled since 2000, with both of these trends showing no signs of slowing down. Obesity is affecting everyone, and its causing people to live restricted lives of no energy, strength, or movement in their bodies. Weight related diseases like Type 2 diabetes that used to only affect older people, are now being diagnosed in people as young as 16 years old. There have been hundreds of diets and weight loss plans introduced over the last several decades that have hoped to stop this ever-growing problem with our health. Sadly, the vast majority of these plans have been either too expensive, too ineffective, or honestly just too hard to do in this busy, modern world.
There are a few plans that offer inexpensive, effective, and easy ways to lose weight fast! Unfortunately these plans typically are even unhealthier than just being overweight is. Usually, these revolutionary new weight loss plans are designed to either starve the body of valuable nutrients and healthy fats, or fill the body with dangerous chemicals, additives, and toxins. Welcome to the solution. These smoothie recipes are the answer for those of us who need a way to lose weight that is healthy and nutritious, but also want a way to get healthy and fit that is affordable and easy to do on with a busy schedule. The only thing you really need in order to partake in all the benefits of weight loss smoothies is a blender. Pretty much any inexpensive blender will suffice to make these surprisingly simple recipes.
Many of the ingredients that you will need are things that you already might have in your refrigerator, but rarely have the time to use in other recipes. And if you dont have many of these ingredients, dont worry. You can find all of it in your average grocery store. Although, if you want to experience the freshest, best-tasting, and in many cases, least expensive versions of these smoothies, then try to find all of your produce such as fruits and vegetables at your local farmers market. These markets are in almost every city, although they might not be available year-round. However, if you can manage to find one, youll be pleased to see the wonderful variety of fresh produce, most of which is surprisingly less expensive than the imported, insecticide-laden version sitting in the supermarket.
If there is one other little thing you might need in order to make this the best possible weight loss experience, it would be a sense of curiosity and adventure! Some of these smoothies, although simple, may feature a few ingredients youve never tasted. And some of them may have foods in them that you tried as a kid--or even yesterday--and absolutely hated. The thing to remember is that the taste of a good smoothie is the combination of all the ingredients. That ingredient you hate may not taste exactly the same when paired with the other foods and blended together. A little bit of a sense of curiosity and adventure will make this an experience of not only just losing weight, but also of discovery for a whole new world of foods and flavors!
History of the Smoothie
I know you probably havent thought much about the long and illustrious history of this deliciously healthy drink we call the smoothie, but its actually very interesting. The first drink ever invented to don the name of smoothie was invented by a teenager in the sixties, which all of a sudden helps the name make even more sense.
It was a teen who was severely lactose-intolerant who was tired of being left out when his friends were all enjoying milkshakes from local malt shops. So, he began to experiment with blending different fruits of different textures and flavors that would simulate the high-lactose milkshakes that his friends were drinking. Once he found the secret to making them smooth and yummy, he dubbed it a Smoothie! Although we can credit the 1960s with creation of the name, smoothies have been a part of our history for thousands of years in different cultures around the world. South Africans and Asians have mashed up fruits and mixed them into beverage cocktails for generations. They were normally used in special ceremonies or for healing of certain illnesses. In South America, Brazilians mixed fruit drinks for the taste and enjoyment of them.
However, they were never enjoyed on a truly regular basis until refrigeration and the electric blender came on the scene in America in the early 1920s. A man with a weak stomach by the name of Julius Freed saw the drinks made in Brazil, and since they were a way to get a diet of fruit and veggies that didnt hurt his stomach, he used his ice box and blender back home to make smoothies a part of his everyday diet.
Benefits of Weight Loss Smoothies
Not every smoothie is a weight loss smoothie. The ones we have outlined combine ingredients that are not only tasty as a special treat, but are included for their ability to cleanse the body, provide vital nutrition, as well as aid the body in taking advantage of its natural ability to get lean and fit. These ingredients also provide a myriad of other benefits as well.
Get Truly Fit
Losing weight doesnt necessarily mean the same thing as becoming healthy.
Get Truly Fit
Losing weight doesnt necessarily mean the same thing as becoming healthy.
We know this is true because of the choices of extremely unhealthy weight loss plans out there that promise a lower number on the scale in exchange for muscle loss, a weaker immune system, and a body full of fillers and artificial ingredients. One great thing about weight loss smoothies is their ability to help the body lose weight while at the same time promoting muscle growth, a stronger immune system, and an overall more fit lifestyle
Disease Fighting with Each Glass
Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. Strokes come in very closely behind and are brought about from the same causes. Type 2 diabetes is quickly becoming the most commonly fought disease among both the young and old. Weight loss smoothies help keep your cholesterol and gluten levels low. This keeps the blood pressure down, which in turn keeps away heart disease and strokes.
