I have been drinking smoothies my entire life and am a firm believer in the
amazing weight loss and health benefits they possess. A high quality smoothie
allows you to blend lots of nutrient dense ingredients into one drink. I like to
think of a smoothie as a one stop shop for optimal health and fitness.
The following smoothie recipes are geared towards boosting your energy levels,
metabolism and fat burning potential. These smoothies also contain some of the
highest antioxidant foods in the world. Matcha Green tea has one of the highest
concentrations of antioxidants in the world. Other smoothie ingredients such as
blueberry, cranberry, blackberry, prune, raspberry, strawberry, apple and plum
are listed as one of the top 20 antioxidant foods in the world by webmd.com.
Several of these smoothie recipes are geared for muscle recovery after an intense
resistance training session. When you put on lean muscle you are increasing
your metabolism and burning fat simultaneously.
