We all get cravings for a treat from time to time.
Unfortunately, these ‘treats’ often come in the form of a candy bar, a frappuccino, or fast food…
And while these foods may satisfy you in the moment, they could leave you feeling worse after and slow down your health and weight management goals.
This is where having a go-to smoothie recipe can help. The burst of flavor and cold, refreshing texture gives your brain the same ‘treat’ feeling. And they’re actually good for you!
Here’s a great combination of slim-down smoothies for when the cravings really kick in: One for the morning to get you out of bed and fuel your day and another to pick you up in the afternoon so you can finish strong.
Let’s get to the recipes!
