    Hi there,

    Smoothies don't cause weightloss. Eating less calories than your body needs causes weightloss. Actually, many people find liquid food doesn't fill them up properly and they get hungry quicker again compared to solid food. Also, many smoothies are full of sugar. Not a problem as such, but again some people get hungry quickly after eating lots of sugar. Why not set up the app/website properly and eat real food at the right calorie amount? Adjust your food if you find something doesn't fill you properly. But certainly stick around and ask any questions you have.

    200-300ml of milk or water (whatever you prefer?
    1 banana
    1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
    30g peanut butter

    Taste amazing and good for a quick breakfast shake

    Just as a note, with milk this would be roughly 500 calories, which might be a lot for a not so tall, not very active woman. Especially if breakfast turns out to be a minor meal normally. But it shows how important it is to weight and track everything, and then re-evaluate whether it's filling enough.

    For energy: Black coffee.
    For weight loss: Black coffee.
    To make it into a smoothie... blend with ice.
    Better to just make a nice pour-over and enjoy it and then maybe another.

    Then eat nutritious food in moderation and enjoy every day!

    She could do almond milk instead!
