When trying to lose weight or just stay fit people these days are more and more searching for diet shake recipes, healthy milkshake recipes, juices and fruit smoothies. Homemade fruit smoothies and diet shakes, as well as those bought premade, are packed with ingredients proven to keep you full for hours. Shakes are very popular as energy drinks as well.
Diet shake recipes are useful as part of a systematic plan to lose weight. Diet shakes, fruit shakes and other meal replacements are an advantage when you lack the time or motivation to shop for and prepare balanced meals. Shakes are fast and easy to make, so they’re also perfect for novice cooks and eaters who are on the go.
It can also be quite fun to experiment with your diet shake recipes and add your own personal touches to your delicious creations. Weight loss shake recipes are as unlimited as your imagination. One of my favorite ingredients to add to any smoothie or diet shake recipes is low-fat yogurt.
Replace fattening treats like ice cream and chocolate with delicious, healthy milkshake recipes. Whether you make them yourself or buy prepackaged, simply replace 1 to 2 meals per day with a healthy shake recipe or smoothie and you will soon be on your way to your weight goal.
Those shakes bought at the grocery aren’t as nutritional as they seem to be. Always check the ingredients of anything claiming to be a ‘healthy’ food, and usually you find a long list of chemicals. Your best bet is to buy fresh fruit in season, like strawberries, blueberries, etc. and store them in the freezer, or buy frozen fruit. You should also buy 100% real juice to keep on hand. Mix 1 cup of fruit juice with 1 1/2 cups of frozen fruit and a banana, or whatever other fresh fruit you have. You could even mix in some granola, wheat germ, etc. for a little substance. Blend it up in your blender and it’s delicious! You can even add honey or pineapple juice if it’s a bit too tart or add ice for a thicker, ‘smoothie’ texture. This is a great alternative because you are using all-natural, inexpensive ingredients.
