20 Healthy Smoothie Recipes That Can Help You on Your Weight Loss Journey
Nutritionists share their favorite weight loss smoothies, from low-calorie green smoothies to filling protein powder blends.
Mike Garten
When you're in need of a quick healthy breakfast, smoothies are a delicious option. Loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, the blend of fruits, veggies, and protein-rich milk or yogurt can be an easy breakfast or energizing snack. And as tempting as it is to pick up a few pre-made smoothies at the grocery store or order a custom one at your local juice shop, it's actually easier (and cheaper) to whip up a healthy smoothie right at home.
You can makes your smoothies more filling by swapping out any unnecessary sweeteners for added sources of fiber and protein. Especially if you're looking to lose weight, you'll want to make sure your smoothies contain plenty of fruits, veggies, and other ingredients packed with antioxidants. "Adding an extra boost of greens into your smoothie is a great way to pack in antioxidants," Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDCES, LDN, and author of 2-Day Diabetes Diet, tells Woman's Day. "Chronic inflammation in the body can increase stress hormones, [which are] the same hormones that store fat versus burn it. By increasing your intake of antioxidants, you can help to cool off inflammation and help your body burn fat more effectively."
Ready to get blending? Any one of these healthy smoothies — made with superfoods like spinach and kale and naturally sweetened ingredients like strawberries, mango, and pineapple — will have you feeling energized and ready to tackle the day ahead.

Summer Berry Smoothie
"My summer berry smoothie (which can be made year-round with frozen berries) helps to target stubborn belly fat and promote weight loss thanks to its high level of antioxidants and protein," Palinski-Wade says. According to her, the Greek yogurt also provides a dairy boost, which can help provide CLA, a fatty acid found in dairy, meats, and vegetable oils, that has been shown to accelerate body fat loss.
