Low Fat Smoothie Recipes

Delicious, low fat smoothie recipes are the answer to the summer heat and your bikini shyness! Yes, you can lose fat, maintain muscle and fit into your swimsuit if you eat more low fat smoothies and less food filled with saturated fat. These recipes do not contain dairy products which are a source of saturated fat.

These low fat smoothies are easy to make, highly nutritious and when you add the special ingredient I recommend, a whey protein product that targets fat, they will actually help you to shed excessive fat! Not only that but the whey powder provides 22% of your daily requirement of calcium and 20% of your daily requirement of protein. You can eat these before a meal to reduce your hunger and eat less of a lighter meal, as a low glycemic snack or even as a meal replacement.

Green Tea Fat Loss Special

  • 6 oz. brewed green tea
  • 1/2 cup lemon sorbet
  • 1 orange, cut in segments and frozen
  • 2 scoops whey protein powder
  • Blend all ingredients until smooth. This is my very favorite breakfast smoothie! It tastes like a super nutritious orange julius because it is full of antioxidants (also good when you are losing fat.) With a piece of low glycemic toast you are a good to go! A great smoothie pick-me-up for the afternoon low glycemic snack as well. Serves 1. 210 calories

    Tahini Power

  • 6 oz. chocolate almond milk
  • 2 scoops whey protein powder
  • 1 T. tahini
  • 2 heaping T. plain coconut yogurt (optional)
  • agave syrup to taste
  • Combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Adding the coconut yogurt changes the flavor a little bit and makes it a more filling smoothie that could also be a meal. Serves 1. If you drink this smoothie with 1 slice of Ezekiel toast with 1 pat of butter you have your breakfast. 215 calories

    Chocolate Low Fat Smoothie

  • 6 oz. unsweetened chocolate almond milk
  • 2 scoops of whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 heaping teaspoon flaxseed meal
  • agave syrup to taste
  • Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. This is another antioxidant power house. 1 serving. This is one of my favorite low glycemic snacks. 161 calories

    Berry Low Fat Smoothie

  • 1/2 cup passion fruit sorbet
  • 2 scoops whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup blackberries or rasberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
  • Combine the almond milk, sorbet and whey in a blender and blend. Add the berries and the rest of the soy or almond milk and blend until smooth. The berries are providing lots of antioxidants in this one as well for more energy and keeping you healthy. 1 serving. 255 calories

    Mint Melon Delight

  • 1 cup diced, fresh honeydew melon
  • 1 T. chopped, fresh mint
  • 2 scoops whey protein powder
  • 1/2 T. fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup Perrier water
  • 3 ice cubes
  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. This is a very refreshing drink for a very hot day. 1 serving. 105 calories

    All these low fat smoothie recipes fit into your low glycemic eating guide. In fact, they are all low calorie as well. The tahini contains the omega 3s, the essential fatty acids that we need in moderation throughout the day to keep our metabolism high and help us feel fuller longer. This low fat obsession can be quite counterproductive and unhealthy if you are not eating the good fats. These low fat smoothie recipes have no saturated fat and yet they are filling and delicious. When you add the whey protein powder I recommend, you are going to be fitting into your favorite bikini before the summer is over!
