Fat Burning Smoothies for Weight Loss Maintenance

You can use fat burning, delicious smoothies to help control your weight gain.   Who isn't looking for healthy snacks to control calories while maintaining energy during the day?


And, if you want to build muscle, burn fat and get lean, its important to feed your muscles during the day and before and after your weight training workout.   The top key to keeping the weight loss off for good is to transform your body to lean.  Muscle mass is your top fat burning tool.

Smoothies are a perfect choice. They are easy to make and you can take them with you on-the-run.

Here are two recipes (if you want the extra protein, add your favorite protein powder to either one):

BANANA SPLIT SMOOTHIE

  • 1 cup nonfat milk
  • 1-1/2 cups frozen banana slices
  • 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 5 frozen strawberries

Pour milk into the blender first. Add cocoa and then fruit. Put cover on and blend until smooth.
