This Creamy Cinnamon Apple Smoothie Drink Makes Juicing for Weight Loss Delicious Beverages Smoothies Breakfast Snacks Gluten-free Vegetarian Low Sodium Recipes Low Sugar Recipes
If one of your goals for the New Year is to lose weight, you are not alone. And if you're juicing for weight loss, you're in good company. Juicing has become an easy way to take in a lot of nutrients without having to eat whole fruits and vegetables and, for many people, juicing may be a helpful weight loss tool.
But if you're juicing to lose weight, there are some things to keep in mind. “Juicing should replace one or two meals a day, not all of them,” says Cherie Calbom, author of The Juice Lady’s Sipping Skinny and a leading authority on juicing for health and detoxification. One way to ensure someone sticks with a juicing diet, she adds, is to research a variety of recipes “to avoid getting stuck in a recipe rut, as people do when bouncing from diet to diet.” With that in mind, Calbom offers this tasty vegetarian juice recipe for a cinnamon apple drink that makes juicing for weight loss delicious!
This creamy cinnamon apple smoothie recipe includes coconut milk, apple, spinach, cinnamon, stevia and ice cubes. The protein powder is optional. The low-sodium, gluten-free ingredients are blended until smooth to enjoy as a healthy breakfast, energizing snack or even as a healthy dessert alternative. Cheers to a healthier New Year!
