Searching for some great drinks that will aid you quickly burn those extra calories? You are already at the perfect place. 

Green shakes are great drinks that can assist you to lose weight in a healthy and safe way, they simultaneously gift you with a younger and rejuvenated  look. made with 60 percent green vegetables and 40 percent fruits, these shakes are an excellent way to eat more greens than your usual portion. 

Green shakes and smoothies, not like juices, are a whole food as they preserve the fiber content. Frequent consumption of a green smoothie constitutes a good habit of consuming greens. Green smoothies and shakes taste way better than they look. The Technic is to mix the juice keeping the proportion of veggies and fruits ideal. While the taste of fruits rules the flavor of the smoothie, the greens adjust the sweetness. 

The minerals and vitamins are quickly absorbed and used by the body, giving your body supreme benefits. Green shakes aid the body to recover itself to a state of healthy alkalinity. It also diminishes the persistent craving for sugary, processed and junk foods, supporting weight loss. It purifies the body, discharging the waste matter and toxins from the entire body. Are you ready then to learn about five of the best easy to prepare recipes of green shakes to lose weight?










1. Celery and Apple Shake:


2. Cucumber and Mint Shake:
A plain sign of 2 people being in a functional, healthy relationship is when the relationship extracts the best in each one. They become better versions of themselves. But have you ever heard that the same can happen to your beloved foods, too? No need to get confused, let me explain it to you…

Some foods are better eaten at the same time to get the maximum of their nutritional benefits in the greatest manner possible. How easily a nutrient is broken down, absorbed and utilized by the body can be enhanced when another nutrient from other food is available. Now I'll be presenting 10 food combos that are better together.












1. Garlic + Fish

It comes as no surprise that those 2 flavors are a pair made in paradise, and they are heart-healthy as well. Preparing fish with garlic boosts the cholesterol-reducing abilities in fish oils more than if it’s cooked without spices. And when those 2 are united, the garlic can also act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

2. Tomatoes + Avocados




For what reason do tomatoes go very well with guacamole (apart from tasting delicious, of course)? Tomatoes are packed with a cancer-preventing antioxidant named lycopene, which makes them what we name a “carotenoid.” Tomatoes are also full with healthy fats, like the ones in avocados, these fats are capable to essentially pick up carotenoids from the stomach and spread them throughout your body. This cancer-fighting combination can be served as a great big colorful salad.

3. Kombucha + Cashews


Eating cashews as a snack is an amazing way to get a supercharge of zinc and protein, which operates as an immune booster. Studies demonstrate that fermented products like Kombucha aid to better the absorption of zinc in the gut. Making this immune boosting combination a perfect snack on the go!

4. Sweet Potato + Coconut Oil




Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A, which plays a huge role in protecting healthy hair and skin. Vitamin A is absorbed more easily when mixed with a fat source like coconut oil. Make baked sweet potatoes fries utilizing coconut oil and you’ll be shining in no time.

5. Black Beans + Lime






Citrus fruits like lime offer greater levels of vitamin C, which makes the plant-based iron in black beans more easygoing for your body to utilize. Try to order your tacos with a hint of lime and black beans for healthy cells and lungs.

It’s quite amazing how the foods that taste and smell so good together are really meant to be united.

What is the powerful food combination you liked the most?

While I was talking to one of my friends a few weeks ago, she told me she just joined Weight Watchers. She’s tried their amazing program multiple times in the past with great success, but like almost everyone, she hearts food enormously to the point that she inevitably lose control and gains all the weight back. Which is bad!

The good news is that, thanks to the marvelous world of Pinterest, I was capable to bring together some delicious Weight Watchers recipes for her. After hearing her loud scream expressing enormous joy about how tasty and simple they all look, I made the decision  that I would write a post that gathers them all hoping that I can lend a hand to someone else in their journey to lose weight.
