Making a diet smoothie is a great and refreshing way to get the fruits 
and vegetables we need to eat. 1 cup of veggies might seem like a lot to eat – but when you blend it with your other fruits and veggies it can be a delicious treat. These weight loss smoothies are also very satisfying and filling – which makes them perfect for an afternoon snack or some might even like them after their dinner.
Remember though, When you trying to lose weight, it’s important to know how to use smoothies and weight loss shakes properly. If you are not careful it can result in a lot of extra calories and sugar – which could also possibly mean you could be gaining weight instead of losing weight.
Here are some of our diet smoothie recipes that we enjoy below:

1 cup white cranberry juice
1 peach, pitted and cut into slices {you can also peel, if desired)
1 cup ice
Directions: Blend ingredients together in a blender until ice is crushed and ingredients are mixed together.
Health Kick Orange
Oranges and pineapple are both excellent sources of vitamin C, making this smoothie a great one to drink if you may be prone to getting sick. Pineapple also contains manganese, which is believed to help strengthen bones. The kiwi fruit is also very helpful, as it also contains not only vitamin C but also potassium which gives you energy and beta-carotene.
You will need these ingredients:
1 cup orange juice (we prefer freshly squeezed, but from concentrate with no sugar added is okay too)
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 Kiwi, sliced and peeled
1 cup ice
Directions: Blend all ingredients in a blender until blended together.
Chocolate Banana Smoothie
Don’t let the name fool you – just because this smoothie has a hint of chocolate that doesn’t mean it isn’t healthy for you. The milk provides vitamin D and protein, and the banana is loaded with potassium.

1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon honey
1 banana
1 cup ice
