Hi fam and welcome to another video. The other day I asked you guys on Instagram what prevented
you from losing weight and the answers were bad eating habits, cravings for junk food,
no time, you're not consistent. Today we're going back to basics. We're going to be making
five delicious smoothies that are going to help you lose weight. These smoothies are quick and
easy to make. They will satiate you. They're delicious. They're rich in fiber. They'll help
your digestion, your metabolism. You'll have more energy. Each one of them contain specific
ingredients that I chose strategically to help you lose weight. And before we start the recipes,
I want to announce that we're having a challenge on my app, Simple Fit app. It's going to be a
30 day strong and slim challenge that will help you lose weight. It's a plan that I basically
designed for you. You'll receive a calendar. You'll receive daily workout routine videos
that you will do with me. You'll receive a meal plan that you will follow along with breakfast,
lunch, dinner, snacks. It's going to be delicious. I made this meal plan with a nutritionist, so it's
super healthy and all you have to do is download my app. You can download it for free. And right
now we have a special where you'll get the first month for $1. The first smoothie that we're going
to make will have a beautiful yellow color. And the purpose of this smoothie is to reduce
inflammation, to detoxify and to reduce excess water retention. The first ingredient is pineapple,
which contains an enzyme that is a natural diuretic. Another thing is that all fruit is
very high in fiber content. The next ingredient is mango. I'm using frozen mango, about half a cup
and mango, just like every other fruit is really high in fiber content. And we want more fiber
when we're trying to lose weight because it keeps our digestion flowing. Next ingredient is chia
seeds. Chia seeds are also rich in fiber and plant-based protein, and they also help absorb
toxins from your digestive tract. Another thing is that they will help you keep you satiated.
The next ingredient is one teaspoon of turmeric powder, which is amazing at reducing inflammation
in our body. And to blend, I'll be using one cup of coconut water. Coconut water is great at
hydrating our bodies. And whenever we're trying to lose weight or maintain weight or just be healthy,
it's very important to stay hydrated. Okay, let's blend. Our smoothie is ready.
Oh my gosh, this looks so good. Last ingredient, very optional, is cayenne powder,
just a little bit at the top. I personally like how it tastes with the cayenne. I love spicy,
gives it a nice kick. And I love that the chia seeds give it like a very smooth and creamy
consistency. The next smoothie is for anyone who suffers from constipation. All the ingredients in
this smoothie will help you go to the bathroom, improve your digestion. You'll feel light,
you'll feel energized, it will clean your colon, and it will just be amazing. So the first ingredient
is papaya. And papaya contains this enzyme called papain. And this enzyme is the one that helps you
go to the bathroom. It loosens up your stomach, it relaxes it inside, and it helps you poop. But
in a good way. It's not like a laxative, like a pill that you take. It's nature's good natural
laxative. The next ingredient is grapefruit. And grapefruit, just like all other citrus fruits,
they contain lots of vitamin C, which will boost your immune system. And they're also
rich in folate, which help keeps your body cells healthy. And they're also rich in fiber.
The next ingredient is celery. And I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Celery acts like a broom for your stomach. It helps detoxify, it helps clean out all the junk,
all the toxins that are in there. You want that out. And celery will help do that.
The next ingredient is one tablespoon of aloe vera. And this is aloe vera. It's like a gel-like
texture. It's a plant. I took the thing from inside. And aloe vera is amazing, amazing, amazing
to improve our digestion. It's also anti-inflammatory, and it helps keep our skin
glowing, looking natural and healthy. The next ingredient is one tablespoon of almond butter.
And almonds are a great source of plant-based protein, which will help you feel satiated.
They're also rich in vitamin B and magnesium, which will give you more energy so that when
you go work out, you can do your best and burn more and create more muscle. It will also give
our smoothie a creamy consistency. And we're going to blend finally with some water. Ready?
It is ready. We have our mason jar. This is so good. I personally love the taste of grapefruit,
and it's actually not even that strong. But if you don't really like grapefruit at all,
you can just put a fourth of a grapefruit, or you can also sub it for orange juice.
It's full of delicious fiber. I can feel it, and it will help you relieve constipation.
Cheers to poop. Okay. The next will be a green smoothie. And this one's going to be for those
people that are having belly bloating issues. So if you feel bloated right now, I highly recommend
that you try this smoothie. The first ingredient is banana. And I love bananas and smoothies
because they add a lot of creaminess with basically very few calories. We're using banana.
The next ingredient is apple because of its unique fiber content. It's different from other
fruits. It's a little bit more potent, and they're also rich in water content,
which help hydrate our body. The next ingredient is dates. And I love dates to sweeten. They're
actually very sweet, but it's the good sweet, full of fiber, iron, magnesium, good minerals that we
want in our body. Next ingredient is greens. You can use any greens you want. I just have these
mixed greens that I'm going to add in there. You can use spinach or celery or whatever you have.
Next ingredient is cucumber, full of vitamin C and water content, which will help us keep us
hydrated. The next ingredient is ginger, fresh ginger. You can also use powdered ginger. And
the reason I'm using ginger, it's because it helps with a lot of gastrointestinal issues.
It also helps to accelerate gastric emptying, to eliminate toxins,
residues, and it also warms our body, which helps accelerate our metabolism.
We're going to blend this smoothie with green tea. And green tea is a great ally for reducing
belly fat. Green tea without the teabag.
Look at that creaminess. Yes. I love this combination, you guys. The ginger gives it
a really nice kick and it's sweet because of the date and the banana. Cheers.
The next smoothie will help in weight loss, but this one specifically will help you to
curb cravings for junk food and also keep your anxiety for food at bay.
First ingredient is strawberries. And I chose strawberries because all berries contain
a powerful antioxidant, polyphenols, that can stop fat from forming in your body.
If you can't find fresh, then get frozen. That's what I'm using here.
And they're actually better for blending of smoothies.
The next ingredient is beets. And beets are rich in nitrates,
which have been shown to improve athletic performance. If you're trying to lose weight,
it's important to stay active and workout. And consuming beets on a regular basis
will help your performance and yield better results.
The next ingredient is coconut oil. We're going to be using half a tablespoon of coconut oil.
And coconut oil has been shown to prevent obesity, to help with weight loss. It's good,
healthy fats. Many people think that if you want to lose fat, you have to reduce fat. And that is
not the case. Good fat helps you burn fat. So for that reason, we'll be adding one tablespoon
of coconut oil. And we're going to blend with coconut water, which is rich in antioxidants
and electrolytes. Finally, we're going to add some cinnamon powder. And this is one of the
best spices that you can use if you're trying to lose fat, to lose belly fat. It helps curb
cravings. It helps with insulin resistance. And it just tastes delicious. Let's blend.
It tastes so good, but also very creamy from the coconut oil.
Last smoothie is one of my personal favorites. This is kind of like my go-to smoothie,
just because I'm a fan of blueberries. And that's the first ingredient. And I recommend
frozen because they're cheaper. They contain the same amount of benefits of nutrients.
And they're also great for blending. Next ingredient is banana, which will give our
smoothie a creamy consistency. It's also a great source of potassium, which will reduce
excess water retention. Bananas also give us energy. They satiate us.
Next ingredient is flax seeds. And I'm using ground flax seeds. And flax seeds are a great
source of omega-3 fatty acids, which will help reduce inflammation in your body and will also
help with muscle recovery. So you can eat a tablespoon of flax seeds after you work out,
and it will help you recover quicker. To sweeten one date. I'm also going to add three tablespoons
of oats. And oats are a great source of dietary fiber. They're also a good carbohydrate. This
smoothie is a perfect post-workout smoothie that will refuel your body with energy. And
oats have been shown to reduce total body cholesterol if you're suffering from high
One, dos, tres. And to blend, just water. Another ingredient that I just thought of
that's optional is Greek yogurt. If you want your smoothie to be a little bit more protein rich.
Last smoothie is done. Look at that beautiful color, you guys.
