These 9 slim down smoothies are absolutely delicious! This is how I intentionally add nutrition to my body in the mornings and how I make sure my kids are getting enough fruits and vegetables in their bodies as well. Check out how I change my kids’ health for better.
But I have a confession to make…
With all the craziness with this long distance moving season of our lives, I haven’t been eating the way I used to and as a consequence of it I have gained weight and my energy levels are super low.
I know I need to reset my body as quick as possible!
Do you feel like you also need a body reset? Do you need more energy?

Slim Down & Boost Your Energy by Adding Good Nutrition to Your Body
Smoothies are delicious, easy, fast to make, and packed with nutrients that makes you satisfied longer and boosts your energy! It literally takes me less than 2 minutes to make my smoothies in my Nutri Ninja Auto IQ.
Smoothies are also a great way to transition to a healthier eating plan or to get back on track after slipping out during the holidays or a stressful moving season like me.
Eating healthy does not have to be complicated or expensive. We should really have no excuse to take better care of ourselves and eat healthily.
Use Essential Oils to Support Your Body
I am a huge fan of essential oils and I add essential oils to my smoothies for extra goodness! Essential Oils are powerful. You can learn more about it here.
You can add lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, Fitness Essential Oil Blend, or this Lymph Support Essential Oil Blend to any smoothie you wish. I suggest picking one essential oil and adding 1-2 drops to help support the body to cleanse and reduce the toxic load.
I also add a drop or two of lemon essential oil in my glass water bottle to sip on during the day.

3 Brazil nuts*
*This is a great smoothie. Brazil nuts are a fabulous source of selenium, which is good for the thyroid. The recommended serving is one ounce per day since they contain high amounts of selenium.
I like to make sure I’m adding about 20g of plant-based protein to my smoothies. Protein is the building block of your body, it will make you feel fuller and sustain you for much longer. You can use one scoop of Juice Plus+ Complete (my favorite because it’s delicious and also contains ancient grains like amaranth and quinoa!) or combine 4 tablespoons of hemp hearts with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to make about 20g of protein.
