Stephen Cabral's 10 Ten Weight Loss Smoothies
Stephen Cabral's 10 Ten Weight Loss Smoothies
By incorporating this list of weight loss smoothies you will allow your body to get the
proper nutrients it needs to take your success to the next level.
In addition to the recipes laid out below you can also add in 5 grams of fiber, like
psyllium husks powder, or benefiber, to your smoothies to add to satiety and overall
health.
I suggest using whey protein isolate since it is lactose free and the easiest and most
readily absorbed of all protein powders. However, if you are allergic to dairy you can
substitute soy or rice protein powders. Just make sure these varieties are fortified with a
complete amino acid spectrum, so that they will be able to be used by your body in the
proper way. Check out www.StephenCabral.com/nutritionalsupplements for more
information.
Mint Chocolate
I'm a big fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream, so this smoothie is one of my absolute
favorites. I add a lot of ice and make it thick like a frappe!
1 scoop chocolate protein power
8oz water
1 cup ice
Drop of mint extract
Peanut Butter Cup
I'm also a little biased to this smoothie and I highly recommend trying this one out…
1 scoop chocolate protein power
8oz water
1 cup ice
1 tbsp of peanut butter (or choose almond or cashew butter)
Chocolate Mocha
Okay, this is yet another one of my favorites! When I was first experimenting with
smoothie flavors for myself many years ago, I thought about combining my morning
coffee with my breakfast protein shake… what I came up with is this great tasting recipe.
If you can't live without your morning jolt, you need to combine the best of both worlds
with this flavorful smoothie.
1 scoop chocolate protein power
4-8oz iced coffee (decaf or regular – put a pre-made batch in the refrigerator the
night before)
0-4oz water (depending on how thick you want your Chocolate Mocha)
1 cup ice
* optional - add a drop of mint extract for a Chocolate Mint Mocha!
* optional – add a small handful of espresso beans into your blender instead of
actual iced coffee – this adds quite the kick!
I hope you enjoy some of my favorite weight loss smoothie recipes and also feel free to
play with the ingredients a little to adjust to your specific tastes.
You'll find in time that adding one or two shakes in per day will get you to your goals
faster than you thought possible…
The reason?
You're now substituting complete, balanced amino acid filled proteins with tons of
nutrients in place of your old cereals, bagels, muffins and other processed foods. This
alone will relax the inflammation within your body and allow you to begin to feel healthy
and reenergized again. Once your body receives the proper fuel you'll be able to complete
your day's activities and workouts with more intensity and the results will speak for
themself.
Start by adding one in for breakfast or directly after your morning workout. Then, if you
feel comfortable you can add another one in later in the afternoon or directly after a later
in the day workout.
