10 Delicious Smoothie Recipes for Postpartum Weightloss

My two girls have brought so much joy to my life in so many ways. But I also have to admit that one those life changes is weight gain. Five years ago when I had my first daughter, the thirty extra pounds would sometimes take a toll on my mental health since my clothes never fit the same and certain body parts didn't "bounce back" according to how society expects a woman to. The realization came to me one fine day, while I was looking in the mirror, lamenting about what was, that I could decide to do something about what I can control and then trust my body to respond the way I hoped. Sure enough with a few diet adjustments, giving myself lots grace and patience, I learned to love my body as well as to develop a healthy relationship with food. So here are 10 of my favorite smoothie recipes that helped me in my weight loss journey.

Here are four tips on making great tasting smoothies.

• If you like thicker smoothies, do not blend your ice overly smooth.
• Freeze Your Fruits for a Creamier Texture.
• Freeze Your Fruits for a Creamier Texture:
  Using frozen fruits instead of ice gives smoothies a thicker, creamier consistency without watering them down. Keep pre-cut frozen bananas, mangoes, and berries in your freezer for easy access.
• Layer Your Ingredients for a Smooth Blend
  To avoid chunks or an uneven mix, follow this order:

Liquids first (milk, juice, or water).
Soft ingredients (yogurt, nut butter).
Fruits & vegetables.
Harder items like ice or seeds on top.

Cheers to you!
