Smoothie Weight Loss Secrets
The more slowly you eat or drink the better when you’re trying to lose weight. Savor each mouthful by eating your smoothie with a tablespoon over the course of ten or 15 minutes. Eating slowly is great for your digestive system and this is good practice for eating slowly throughout the rest of the day too.
Rinse out your glass and the blender with lots of warm water right away, and you won’t have problems keeping your blender clean.
Ingredients
1 banana
½ c low fat vanilla soy milk or low fat milk
1 c vanilla fat-free yogurt
1 ½ tsp flax seed meal
1 ½ tsp honey
2/3 c fresh or frozen blueberries
You can also add a tablespoon of high quality protein powder for added protein to start your day.
Directions
Put banana, yogurt, flax seed meal, soy milk and honey into your blender and mix on low until smooth.

Once the banana and blueberries are fully chopped, increase speed to medium.
