If you're in the middle of a weight loss journey, you know how difficult it can be, especially after the excitement of the early days has worn off, and you're slogging through the tough part—where you haven't seen the results you want, yet, and are still trying to keep up the motivation to eat the right things without overindulging, or breaking your diet and/or fitness routine.
That's why you need to make sure you've got plenty of options for keeping things interesting—and tasty. We recommend having plenty of healthy dinner recipes (including a variety of plant-based recipes, which are not only healthy, but often less expensive) and of course a wide variety of breakfast smoothie recipes on hand.
Smoothies can be a great weight-loss aid. If made well, they're packed with nutrition and fiber but low in calories, so they help to fill you up without weighing you down. These smoothies are all extra healthy, with tons of greens and fresh berries for fiber and nutrition, as well as smart additions like nut milks, chia seeds, and healthy herbs and spices like turmeric, to help you fight inflammation. If you're working on your weight loss goal, and feeling like your current smoothie recipes are barely keeping your interest, put this page in your bookmarks and then start trying out the recipes. You'll find yourself looking forward to new breakfast options each morning, and will have hit your goal weight before you know it!

Tart cherries have been touted for helping folks get better sleep, but they're also super high in fiber and vitamins, making them a healthy (and tasty) treat whenever!
The one-two punch of high-fiber berries and nutrient-packed spinach create a filling, low-cal drink that'll keep you going. The best part? All those berries taste fantastic together.
This rich smoothie builds body and healthy fats with a bit of avocado, and adds plenty of nutrition with coconut water, two kinds of greens, and plenty of fruit.
With goji berries—the tiny superfruits famed for their longevity-boosting properties—and a protein boost from chia seeds, this smoothie will tide you over for hours.
