    There are no weight loss smoothies, foods or any other weight loss substances that you ingest that make any practical difference to your weight loss (at least nothing legal).

    It's generally better to eat your calories instead of drinking them, but some people like the convenience of a smoothie and being able to drink it on the go. If that's what you mean, a nicely balanced meal replacement smoothie would contain some fiber (like vegetables or bran), some fat (like flax seeds or nut butters), some protein (like eggs, protein powder, or Greek yogurt), some flavorings that would make it pleasant to drink (like your choice of fruits, extracts, or sugar/sweetener), and has appropriate calories to fit your daily budget.

    If you think you need to drink smoothies for weight loss or that they would help you with weight loss beyond convenience, don't bother. Weight loss is simply a function of calories and sustainability.

    There's nothing. If you're needing a smoothie for a meal replacement as something quick to grab, they're easy. I don't have much time in the mornings so I make one that I drink on my long drive to work, plus I'll eat maybe so fruit later at work. But mine are usually the same thing

    8oz water
    1tsp bee pollen
    1tbsp chia seeds
    1tbsp coconut oil
    1 scoop greens powder (or just throw in a hand full of spinach or kale or something along those lines)
    1 cup frozen fruit

    It's quick and easy. You can modify it too and add protein powder or other things too. Pinterest is a great resource as well
