Smoothies are great to have when you're trying to lose weight because they keep you full and provide you with the daily nutrients you need. They are perfect if you're a mom on the go because all you have to do is blend your favorite fruits and veggies to get a nutritious blend all at once. If you don't have time to make them yourself, you can even find them at a local deli or health shop.

One of my favorite things about smoothies is that you have many options to choose from. You can mix so many things that you just can't get bored. The only thing you have to keep in mind is to avoid blending unhealthy items such as chocolate syrup or full-fat milk. I particularly like having them a few times out of the week if I'm pressed on time and need a quick breakfast or pick-me-up after the gym.
The next time you go grocery shopping, make sure to pick up your favorite fruits, veggies, and other healthy ingredients such as chia and flax seeds fo your smoothies. What you should know is that not all of these smoothies are created equal and some can amp up weight loss better than others.
Try the ones I've listed below and watch the weight start dropping before your eyes!
