Thinning
These recipes are all thinning by the nature of their ingredients, the overall calorie count, or the fiber content. When it comes to losing weight, total calories in (from foods and fluids) and total calories out (from energy expenditure and exercise) still matter.
Stick with the portion size indicated. However, if the recipe says “serves 2” and you have both servings, that may be okay if your overall calorie intake is still in check, just make sure you double the nutrition facts (calories, fat, etc.) for the recipe.
A thinning tip is to have breakfast every day—people who eat breakfast tend to weigh less! If you are prone to breakfast-skipping, try one of these smoothie recipes in a to-go mug for an on-the-go breakfast that will fill you up and get your day started! Or if you have a hectic week, make a batch of smoothies on the weekend and store them in the refrigerator for quick snacks to keep you going all week!
