Fat burning smoothie
First, we’ll lay out the ingredients for the hangover smoothie. And then we’ll get into why they are there and how they work.
Ingredients for the fat burning smoothie.
- 2 kiwi fruit
- 1 green apple
- A handful of spinach
- 1 leaf kale
- 1 banana
- ½ cup of fresh apple juice
- 1 tbsp Matcha tea powder
- Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
- Good squeeze of lemon juice
This is a vegetable smoothie that provides you with much less sugar and is less likely to lead to fat storage.
Kiwi fruit
The kiwi fruit is full of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and potassium. But they are low in calories, making them a great addition to a weight loss effort.
Apple
The apple provides vitamin C, which can increase serotonin. And serotonin, which is our ‘feel good’ hormone, can help suppress the appetite.
Spinach
Spinach is packed with nutrients but low in calories. In spinach, you will find a host of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, riboflavin, iron, magnesium, and calcium. Plus, spinach contains plenty of filling fiber.
The spinach will supply you with a good amount of protein and studies show that consuming protein as soon as you wake up can lead to weight loss!
Kale
Kale is low in calories and has low energy density. But it contains some protein and fiber. This kind of food is great for weight loss.
Banana
Bananas are high in fiber but low in calories. They contain many essential vitamins and minerals. A good addition to a weight loss smoothie.
Apple juice
Apple juice supports hydration and supports the effect of the green apple we have already included.
Matcha, Cayenne, Lemon
The matcha tea, ground cayenne pepper and lemon juice are all thermogenic to some degree. That means that they actually raise your metabolism to help you burn more calories throughout the day.
Smoothie equipment
You can’t make a good fat burning smoothie without the right equipment. So here are some things to have on hand. Make sure you have sharp knives for cutting, a good cutting board, and the following.
