General rules

Many people mistakenly believe that smoothies are a drink. In fact, it is a nutritious, healthy, tasty and low-calorie mixture prepared using a blender from various food ingredients. A cocktail can replace a full lunch or dinner, depending on the ingredients used to prepare it. The smoothie diet promises to get rid of 2 extra pounds in a week, without feeling a constant feeling of hunger and irritability against this background.

The English word literally comes from "smooth"translated as gentle, gentle, ingratiating. The birthplace of smoothies is England, where they are often used by office workers as a lunch or light snack. A freshly prepared cocktail can be a very satisfying dish due to its high fiber content, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive tract. The mixtures are easy to digest and do not cause a feeling of heaviness after ingestion.

For effective weight loss, it is better to use fresh vegetables and fruits (except high-calorie bananas and grapes), natural juices and other low-calorie foods as components of a smoothie diet. The weight loss process begins quickly and without much effort for the person losing weight. Thanks to the puree-like consistency, the water-salt balance is normalized, the body is saturated with useful substances and vitamins. The absence of hunger allows you to avoid unhealthy snacks between main meals. The daily calorie content of the food consumed is reduced, snacks are eliminated, which has a positive effect on the weight loss process.
