Body shaping smoothie
This smoothie is high in protein, antioxidants and fibre
to support a healthy metabolism. For weight loss it is
recommended you get between 80 to 120g of protein
per day to aid satiety and repair. Adding protein to this
smoothie can work effectively to regulate the appetite,
increase satiety and encourage significant fat loss. Organic
Superfood (available from thehealthychef.com) is high
in naturally occurring vitamins and minerals from ten
different fruits and vegetables. It contains antioxidants
called polyphenols which are anti-inflammatory to the
body and can promote optimum health and vitality.
Avocado is loaded with the antioxidants lutein, vitamin
E and beta-carotene and can promote blood sugar
reduction and support cardiovascular, digestive and skin
health.
