If you love apples, you are going to enjoy these apple smoothie recipes. They are soo creamy, delicious, and great for you if you’re trying to lose weight or on a smoothie diet. These apple smoothies can be consumed for breakfast as a meal replacement shake or before and after workout sessions.
How Do Apple Smoothies Help With Weight Loss?
Apples are low in calories and high in dietary fiber plus carb and natural sugars. Drinking apple smoothies can help stabilize your blood sugar levels, improve digestion, keep you feeling full longer during the day, reduce cravings and increase your energy levels.
When you eat less processed carbs and sugar, you’ll lose weight, and apples help curb cravings for these kinds of foods. Also, most people crave sugary foods because of fluctuations in blood sugar levels which apple smoothies help stabilize as well.
So when you start adding apple smoothies to your diet daily, you will notice a difference in your eating habits. You’ll feel satisfied, less hungry, and ultimately start to lose a few extra pounds.
When To Drink Apple Smoothie For Weight Loss
It is always recommended to drink your smoothies in the mornings of before workout sessions when trying to lose weight. With that being said, you can also drink weight loss smoothies in the afternoon if you are on a smoothie diet.
Just make sure to count your calories when adding smoothies to your diet to prevent consuming more than your body needs.
Best Types Of Smoothies For Weight Loss
High protein, high fiber, and high iron smoothies are great for weight loss because protein helps build and maintain muscle mass, iron increases energy and reduces fatigue so you won’t feel tired and workout more. Finally, fiber keeps you feeling full longer, improve digestion and reduce cravings.
Apple Smoothie Recipes
Most of the smoothies on this list are rich in iron and fiber but not all are packed with protein so I recommend adding protein powder but that is totally optional.
