Fat Burning Smoothie Recipe

Want your smoothie to burn fat? All you need to do is substitute green tea for the milk or juice in your favorite smoothie recipe.

Now if you are sensitive to caffeine you should use decaf green tea as it is not the caffeine content but the ECGC that burns fat. To get the optimal benefit steep 2-3 tea bags for at least 15 minutes (can allow to cool and steep overnight in the fridge).

Fat Burning Smoothie Recipe:

8-10 oz iced green tea
1 small container of nonfat yogurt
1 scoop of whey protein powder (I like Vanilla Designer Whey)
1-3 Tablespoons freshly ground flaxseeds
a few handfuls of your favorite frozen fruit (mixed berries are fabulous!) until the desired consistency is reached. Remember it is always easier to ADD more fruit but if you get in a pinch and your smoothie is too thick just add more iced tea, rice milk, soy milk, or almond milk.

ENJOY as a quick fat burning start to your day, or as a delicious lunch time pick me up!

Happy Fat Burning!
