Weight-loss Smoothie | Vegetarian Smoothie Recipe

| Posted on |

Integrate this cheap 10 minute vegetarian weight-loss smoothie into your daily regime, either as a meal replacement or between meals. The addition of different herbs in every smoothie, positively benefit: energy levels, sleep, depression, stress, digestion, cognitive health, immune system strength, intestinal and gut-microbiome, metabolism, thyroid and more depending on what combination of herbs are used.

I don’t have enough time to make a weight-loss smoothie every day

A pitcher of smoothie takes under 10 minutes to make, and provides smoothie drinks for 2-days between meals, or one day if used as a full meal replacement. Make it in the morning or at night then throw it in a large thermos and take it with you wherever you go to work, school, the gym or outings.

An organic vegetarian weight-loss smoothie sounds fancy and too expensive for me

A large container of organic salad is $6, a big bag of bulk frozen green peas is $12, and a bag of frozen fruit is $15. These 3 ingredients are the core of this smoothie with a total cost of $32 CAD which supplies 1-2 weeks worth of smoothies, consuming 1 large pitcher per day. The Hemp, Chia and Herbs come in large bags that provide over 100 smoothie pitchers, each using 1tbsp per smoothie pitcher. I’m telling you the cost is cheap to make this weight-loss smoothie. Now consider the cost of poor health, both in your enjoyment of life and costs for medical visits, medications, etc…is $35-$50 a week really that expensive?

The cost of poor health

If there is one area of your life you should spare no expense, it’s your health. Preventative maintenance of your health is key. Most people wait until they get sick, to address health concerns…fortunately the body is an amazing organism, and with the right nutrition it can cure the vast majority of ailments itself. A 10 minute $50 per week investment is well worth the positive impact it will have on your life, and your health. Not convinced? Check out this documentary

Smoothies are even more beneficial then juicing because they add in the pulp, fiber and meat of fruits, which makes it more filling and nutritious!

I’ve tried all sorts of diets and exercises and still struggle with weight-loss

There are all sorts of Gurus telling you to try all sorts of diets, or exercises, telling you to just eat less, or eat this or eat that…these Gurus try to adapt a blanket approach to weight-loss for everyone. The fact is each persons body type, genetic makeup, health history, lifestyle and nutritional needs are vastly different. Your metabolism is designed to keep your body thin, and your immune system to keep you in good health…but if you’ve been poising your body with unhealthy foods and / or an unhealthy lifestyle, it’s going to take some special nutrition and a good amount of time to cleanse your body and get your metabolism and health back on track.

Exercise is always a good addition to your daily schedule.

An hour a day of exercise is usually sufficient. If you have a tight schedule, a good 20 minute walk is good as a bare minimum. Walk to the store a few blocks away, instead of driving or take your dog out for a walk and enjoy the scenery. Put the majority of focus on eating healthy and letting your body restore it’s health to what it is meant to be! Enjoy life and spend time with family outdoors!
