Green smoothies are prepared from fruits and herbs in a blender. They are good because they contain chlorophyll. You already know about the effect of chlorophyll. But the presence of chlorophyll is not the only advantage of green smoothies. First, they are cheaper than green juices.

It is very difficult to get a large amount of juice from greens: to produce one glass you need a large amount of it. A green smoothie made in a blender only requires a handful or two of greens.

Secondly, when preparing a green smoothie in a blender, the fiber that is very necessary and beneficial to the body is preserved.

Greens are the richest in fiber content. Fiber has a positive charge, and waste, toxins and pathogenic formations in our body carry a negative charge. Passing through the gastrointestinal tract, fiber attracts all the accumulated dirt (plus is attracted to minus), and, like a sponge, absorbing it, removes it from the body.

Green smoothies can be made with fruit. Then they turn out very sweet and tasty. If the cocktail turns out unsweetened, or you feel the taste of greenery, you just need to add another sweet fruit, a banana, for example.

You should start drinking green smoothies little by little. Over many years of eating boiled food, the walls of the gastrointestinal tract organs have become weak, the muscles have completely lost the habit of working. But to digest fiber you need strength, you need strong strong muscles.

Therefore, you need to gradually accustom your gastrointestinal tract to work, make its muscles strong, so as not to overload. This is the same as with physical activity - training should begin with the gradual development of muscles.

When you strengthen the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, problems with digestion will go away on their own. The gastrointestinal tract will work like clockwork, heaviness after eating, skin problems will disappear, weight will normalize, and all the wonderful effects of green smoothies cannot be described.

During the first month, stick to this norm - 1 glass of a delicious green smoothie per day.

The ratio of fruits and greens should be such that you enjoy drinking it.

After a month, you can start drinking 1.5 glasses, and then watch as you wish, you can take a small amount twice a day.

After a few months, cocktails can be drunk in very large quantities. I give recommendations for the amount of cocktails to take because they have such an awesome taste that you will immediately want to drink a large amount.

Only by drinking cocktails daily can you be convinced of their miraculous effects.

They are very easy to prepare. After the greens with fruit and water have been swirled in a blender, the cocktail should be poured into a mug and the blender should be rinsed with water. That's all. If the blender is low-power, the fruit will have to be cut into quarters or smaller pieces, and if your blender has a good and strong motor, then the fruit can only be cut into halves, and the greens can be torn by hand.

Any dark green is suitable for cocktail greens, but weeds and wild plants are especially valuable: dandelions, nettles, spruce needles.

A small list of edible greens:

regular salad greens, sorrel, parsley, dill, cilantro, celery; “spicy” greens: watercress, nasturtium (capuchin) leaves; bitter greens: dandelion; weeds: chickweed, purslane, alfalfa, quinoa, nettle, duckweed; edible flowers: nasturtium, red clover, marigolds (marigolds), chrysanthemums, etc. berry leaves: leaves of strawberries, wild strawberries, currants, as well as those leaves that are usually collected and dried for tea; "tops": tops of carrots, radishes, beets, kohlrabi cabbage"

What are the benefits of green smoothies:

  • They allow you to eat a significant amount of greens raw, without salt or oil. When you drink a green smoothie, you physically feel how the beneficial substances spread throughout the body - they are clearly “for the good”!
  • Cocktails give you a feeling of fullness for a long time and without heaviness in the stomach. Accordingly, less other, less healthy food is consumed.
  • They are really tasty and can be used as a substitute for snacks throughout the day.
  • Green smoothies are easy to digest and contain fiber.
  • They are easy and quick to prepare.
  • After just a few days of “green smoothies,” you begin to want to eat more greens and simple healthy foods in general. For example, we began to drink much less tea, replacing them with plain water.
  • In addition to general health benefits, green smoothies help cure many diseases and help you lose weight (or increase it, if necessary).

You need to start your day with a glass of warm water, maybe with lemon. You should eat food 20-30 minutes after this. This is the best option to start metabolic processes, wake up the body and prepare it for the coming day.

The basis of proper nutrition is the principle of calorie counting. The approximate permissible volume of a morning meal should be oriented at 300 kcal. If you don’t know what to cook to fit into this limit, study the simple and delicious recipes we present with photos and calories.

Be sure to consider that the ideal breakfast could be:

  • Protein. Protein is the main source for building muscles. To digest it, the body needs a lot of energy, which it will take by breaking down fat deposits. This process can only be started if there is a deficiency of fast carbohydrates. What protein foods can you eat for breakfast to lose weight? The list of dishes is extensive, including omelet, chicken, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, etc.
  • Carbohydrate. In this case, you need to rely on complex carbohydrates, and this is porridge (oatmeal, buckwheat), durum pasta, toast. They are slowly absorbed and nourish the body with useful substances, without being deposited on the sides, stomach and thighs in the form of fatty deposits.
  • Vegetable. Vegetables and fruits are rich in fiber. It is beneficial for the body, but does not overload the stomach. If you want to make your morning meal as light as possible, you can eat a salad for breakfast. A light meal is also suitable if you are planning a business lunch or second breakfast.

PP breakfasts are perfect for those who are watching their weight, for men, pregnant women and in general for the whole family. Think over the menu for tomorrow in the evening, or better yet, select options for every day with calorie content and nutritional supplements for the whole week.

What's prohibited?

Breakfast should never be skipped. If you remain hungry from the very morning, there is a high risk of breakdown and overeating, consuming high-calorie unhealthy foods. It is important to understand what foods you should not eat in the morning.

The prohibited list includes:

  • flour and baked goods (rolls, white bread);
  • sweets;
  • fast food;
  • semi-finished products;
  • fatty, fried and smoked.

It is important to use correct heat treatment methods. It is better not to cook in a frying pan, as the fats used will negatively affect the nutritional value of the dish. We also do not recommend cooking in the microwave. It is better to give preference to baking in the oven, steaming or cooking in a slow cooker.

Among the positive aspects of taking diet cocktails for the purpose of losing weight, the following are particularly highlighted:


Breakfast cocktail for weight loss with rolled oats. Rules for losing weight with smoothies

It is necessary to ensure a smooth transition from the usual diet to a dietary one in order to relieve the body of stress. This is a must when losing weight with cereal desserts. Preliminary preparation begins 2-3 days before the diet and looks like this:

  • drink at least 2 liters of clean still water per day;
  • eat more fruits and vegetables;
  • eat small meals every 2-3 hours.

A delicious oatmeal smoothie is not a magic elixir that will instantly rid you of extra pounds. The liquid drink is so tasty that you want to drink it in one gulp, but you can’t do that. Such an error will lead to the fact that the signal of saturation from the stomach to the brain arrives late and there will be a temptation to eat something else. There are other significant nuances that are worth remembering when losing weight with oatmeal smoothies:

  1. Some berries and fruits are high in calories. Such products are absolutely not suitable for preparing a weight loss drink.
  2. You cannot add sugar to the drink. To improve taste, use a vegetable sweetener (stevia), honey, sweet fruits and berries.
  3. Smoothies with oatmeal should be eaten with a small spoon and slowly, or in extreme cases, drink in small sips. Otherwise, you will have time to eat something before your brain receives a signal that you are full.
  4. On a diet, eat small portions every 2 hours. In between meals, you can drink water or green tea. It is important to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day.
  5. Dairy products used to make smoothies should contain no more than 1% fat.
  6. If you are on a non-strict diet, you can add low-calorie cereals and low-fat broth to your diet.
  7. While losing weight, you should not eat fatty foods, smoked foods, pickles, cheese, sugar, or sweets. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks (black tea, coffee, energy drinks).

Following simple rules will help you achieve the desired result and get rid of excess weight. The diet is suitable for those who play sports. Nutrients will improve your workout results. The oatmeal smoothie diet is contraindicated for certain kidney, liver and stomach diseases. You should not use smoothies with rolled oats for weight loss during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A diet cocktail for weight loss, prepared on the basis of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, cleanses the intestines, freeing the body from harmful toxins. A green smoothie is absorbed much better than a salad with a similar composition. The advantage is that the cell membrane of the ingredients is destroyed by the blender. Nutrients are absorbed faster.

Video Super Breakfast Shake - Protein Carbohydrate Shake

Protein shakes are an effective and tasty way to gain muscle mass. They are sold as sports supplements and can be prepared by the athlete himself. The latter option requires knowledge of recipes for the correct balanced ratio of all ingredients of a nutritious drink.

Athletes who prefer ready-made solutions should carefully select a product. It is necessary to purchase cocktails for muscle growth only from trusted manufacturers who have proven themselves on the positive side. The best foreign companies are considered to be companies such as Optimum Nutrition, MusclePharm and Weider. Among domestic manufacturers, the brands King Protein and Pure Protein deserve attention. They are much cheaper than their foreign counterparts and are of good quality.

Store-bought protein shakes, especially foreign ones, are a perfectly balanced product with carefully selected ingredients. In contrast, homemade drinks for weight gain must be prepared independently, choosing the right ingredients and standards.

What ingredients are used for weight gain cocktails?

The basis of homemade protein shakes is kefir or milk with a medium fat content. Cottage cheese or eggs are used as a source of protein, and carbohydrates with sweeteners - sugar, honey, ice cream, jam, fruit.

It is best to purchase fresh ingredients for each new serving of drink. After preparation, you should drink the cocktail within the first two hours. To obtain a mass of homogeneous consistency, you must use a blender. Without this household appliance, achieving such a result will be quite labor-intensive and difficult.

Protein shake recipes for mass gain

Protein shake with fruit

Ingredients:

  • cottage cheese - 150 g;
  • milk - 250 ml (1 glass);
  • strawberries with sugar - 150 g.

All components are placed in a blender and mixed thoroughly. The sweetener, which is used as sugar, should be added at your discretion.

Protein chocolate shake

Ingredients:

  • milk - 250 ml;
  • cottage cheese - 150 g;
  • cocoa powder.

Cocoa should be taken in the amount that suits your taste the most. Finding the optimal ratio will allow you to prepare several servings with different amounts of this component. The main thing is to remember that a drink for mass gain should contain the maximum amount of calories, achieved by adding sugar or honey.

Protein Banana Shake

Ingredients:

  • milk - 250 ml;
  • cottage cheese - 150 g;
  • banana - 1 or 1.5;
  • jam - 2-3 tsp.

Bananas and chocolate are two of the most popular ingredients for making shakes, the taste of which is very popular among bodybuilders. Regarding this drink, it is banana and jam that provide high-calorie nutrition for muscle mass. Their ratio in the cocktail can be changed up or down to provide the required amount of energy value and improve taste.

Store-bought sports supplements or homemade cocktails?

Ready-made supplements allow the athlete to have a complete understanding of the composition of the product, the number of calories, proteins and carbohydrates in each serving. The athlete does not need to spend time purchasing components and preparation. This option also has a drawback. If you purchase a supplement with a flavor you don’t like, you won’t be able to return the product. And if we take into account the fairly high cost of ready-made ones, homemade protein shakes are much more attractive in this regard.

The time spent making cocktails with your own hands pays off in significant savings. In addition, the athlete has a chance to experiment with taste and the ratio of various components in order to increase the energy value of the drink. If you try hard enough, you can always have your favorite protein drink freshly prepared.

When and how to drink protein shakes?

The daily consumption rate of a protein shake to increase muscle mass is from 250 to 300 milliliters. It is recommended to drink one serving approximately 60 or 70 minutes before training, and the other half an hour after training.

Proteins give impetus to muscle growth and protect muscle tissue from catabolic processes. The cocktail should also be drunk an hour before bedtime. This technique involves reducing the calorie content of the drink to a minimum. Otherwise, there is a risk of gaining excess fat.

What makes oat smoothies an ideal breakfast option is, of course, their main nutritious ingredient – ​​oatmeal. It has long become a classic breakfast porridge not only here, but also in the West. And this did not happen by chance. Enveloping, satisfying, light oatmeal retains all its advantages in an oat smoothie - a thick cocktail of homogeneous or almost homogeneous consistency, in which dairy products, juices, tea, fruits and vegetables are added to your favorite porridge in various combinations.

This smoothie is a dietary product, can replace a full meal and is balanced in the content of microelements.

Most often, oatmeal smoothies are considered as one of the breakfast options, but they can also become an energy snack, a healthy dessert, and even dinner.

Oatmeal smoothies have a beneficial effect on digestion and normalize metabolism. This is a complete dish for a healthy diet that meets all the canons of a balanced diet. Most often, smoothies with oatmeal are included in weight loss programs aimed at normalizing weight. But they also have other advantages:

  • they cook quickly and can save time at breakfast without losing nutritional value;
  • Everyone likes such smoothies, even children - they are just a variation of the familiar breakfast with oatmeal, but in a simpler and more easily digestible form;
  • despite the apparent boringness, such smoothies can be very different in both consistency and taste;
  • they allow you to experiment with a boring breakfast and create hundreds of variations.

Oatmeal smoothies can be sweet and neutral, complex in composition and two or three components, with or without spices. Even in consistency, they are not so similar: some prefer a homogeneous smoothie, similar to a thick cocktail, others prefer a coarsely ground smoothie. And most often, the consistency and nature of the smoothie - gentle or rougher - depends solely on how you prepared the oatmeal.

Creamy milkshake with coffee liqueur flavor. A truly unforgettable taste! The recipe is somewhat labor-intensive due to the long “varnishing” of the rice with liquor, but believe me, it’s worth it! For some, the ideal occasion will be a romantic breakfast, and for others, the morning of a long-awaited Saturday. Prepare “liquor” rice in advance, and more, more!

INGREDIENTS

  • 100 g puffed rice without additives
  • 130 g Kahlua coffee liqueur
  • 200 ml milk
  • 200 ml cream 20% fat
  • 180 ml vodka
  • 2 tsp. Sahara

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

In a bowl, stirring constantly, mix the rice with 45 ml of liqueur. The rice should not have time to soak in the liquor, but should be completely moistened with it. Place the rice in an even thin layer on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Dry the rice for 1 hour in the oven at 55°C. Pour it into a bowl, add 45 ml of liqueur again and soak the rice in alcohol again. Dry the rice again at the same temperature for 1 hour.

Repeat step 2, but do this now for 8-10 hours. As a result, the rice should be dry and shiny.

Mix vodka and sugar in a shaker. Fill it all the way to the top with coarse ice (made from delicious drinking water) and shake vigorously a few times to cool the alcohol and dissolve the sugar. Strain the drink and pour it into 4 jars.

Add a quarter of the milk and cream mixture to each. Stir with a bar spoon and add about 25 g of rice. Serve immediately.

It can be drunk in the morning, noon and evening, for men and women, slim and losing weight. The main thing is to know a few little secrets of its use and preparation.

In the morning, before drinking a cocktail, nutritionists recommend drinking a glass of water at room temperature with lemon to start metabolic processes.

Protein shake for lunch

You can also drink a protein shake during lunch. For this case, a drink prepared with the addition of banana, low-fat cottage cheese or nuts is ideal.

It is important to remember: a smoothie is not just a dense liquid with which you can wash something down, but a complete meal. Therefore, if you ate a delicious vegetable salad for lunch, set the drink aside. Drink it 2-3 hours after your main meal.

Protein shake for dinner

An evening cocktail is a quick dinner. Just don't overdo the ingredients. There shouldn't be too many of them. It’s better to forget about bananas and nuts, unless, of course, you want to gain weight. The best choice before bed is a protein shake made from apple, spinach, celery and other greens.

  • their low calorie content allows you not to store fats in reserve, but to completely use up the energy supplied with the drink;
  • they are prepared exclusively from fresh and healthy products filled with vitamins and microelements: fruits, vegetables, herbs, berries, cereals, proteins, etc.;
  • the liquid, airy consistency (this is why cocktails are whipped in a blender) reduces the volume of the portion, although visually it may seem quite large;
  • quick and long-lasting satiety due to the presence of plant fiber in them prevents you from suffering from hunger;
  • vitamin and protein composition accelerates metabolism, including lipolysis;
  • fat-burning components (ginger, citrus fruits, etc.) allow unnecessary deposits in problem areas to dissolve quickly and without residue;
  • for the most part, these are sources of additional energy that give a boost of vigor and good mood for the whole day;
  • If you replace one of your full meals with them (usually breakfast or dinner), you will significantly reduce the daily calorie content of your diet.

A huge advantage of homemade cocktails is the ability to prepare them from natural products without the addition of synthetics and chemicals. Yes, sports protein drinks sold in specialty stores are probably more effective, but that doesn't mean they're healthier. They contain preservatives, dyes and emulsifiers, the harmfulness of which everyone knows.

origin of name. Different countries claim the birthplace of the term. It is believed that France has more rights than others. There, these drinks were poured into egg glasses called Coquetier, which in the Russified version sounds like a “cocktail.”

To lose weight with the help of these unique drinks, you need to understand what they are and choose the right recipe for yourself.

The most popular in dietetics are fat-burning cocktails, which can be easily prepared at home from spices (cinnamon, ginger), citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), and herbs (mint, parsley, celery, spinach). Their task is to replace heavy, high-calorie foods, accelerate metabolism and lipolysis, and destroy fat deposits.

Here are the 10 best such drinks:

  • cinnamon and apple;
  • honey, lemon;
  • green: mint, parsley, kiwi, lemon;
  • kefir with cinnamon;
  • grapefruit and honey;
  • cinnamon, honey, apple cider vinegar;
  • apple, carrot, ginger, lemon;
  • ginger, cinnamon, pepper, kefir;
  • ginger with garlic;
  • lemon, kiwi, cinnamon, ginger.

As can be seen from this TOP, fruit (mainly citrus) drinks and spices are the most popular in this niche.

Typically, fat-burning cocktails are drunk on an empty stomach half an hour before the main meal or in between meals, when the feeling of hunger worsens. In the absence of physical activity and sports, they are completely useless. They are most effective when combined with diets or at least proper nutrition.

It is easy to prepare low-calorie diet cocktails at home. Their main task is not to satisfy hunger, but to reduce the average daily calorie content of food consumed.

Can be prepared from the following ingredients (calorie content is indicated in parentheses per 100 g of product):

  • parsley (49), asparagus (21), celery (13), spinach (22), mint (49);
  • cucumbers (15), broccoli (34), carrots (32), tomato (20);
  • melon (35), watermelon (27);
  • grapefruit (35), lemon (34), kiwi (47), oranges (43);
  • lingonberries (46), gooseberries (45), strawberries (41), black currants (44);
  • low-fat dairy products: kefir (35), cottage cheese (71), milk (31), yogurt (31);
  • pepper (ground red - 21).

If the composition includes products whose calorie content exceeds 100 kcal per 100 g, the drinks can no longer be called dietary. Although they can be used for weight loss, since their action can be fat-burning or appetite-reducing.

It is best to use diet shakes to replace one of your meals - breakfast or dinner.

There are a number of foods that are great for reducing hunger and suppressing appetite. If you regularly prepare cocktails from them and consume them between main meals, any diet will be much easier to tolerate.

So feel free to mix in a blender:

  • grapefruits, pineapples, green apples, oranges, bananas;
  • carrots, pumpkin, legumes (beans, lentils, peas), leafy vegetables, spinach, broccoli;
  • cottage cheese;
  • dark chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee;
  • oatmeal, bran;
  • dried fruits (but keep in mind that they are quite high in calories);
  • nuts.

Such drinks are rich in fiber, which tends to swell in the stomach and create a false feeling of fullness. Brain receptors receive signals that there is no room for new food, which means it’s not time to eat yet.

A separate group includes soy cocktails, which also contribute to rapid and high-quality weight loss. They form the basis of sports nutrition and can be easily prepared at home. The main thing is to find soy milk. It can be mixed with any fat-burning and low-calorie foods.

The effect on the body is the most multifaceted:

  • appetite decreases;
  • muscle mass is preserved due to the anti-catabolic effect;
  • metabolism increases;
  • well-being improves, heaviness in the intestines is eliminated;
  • cellulite disappears, muscle definition is created;
  • the body's resistance to stress increases;
  • the mood rises;
  • the emotional background stabilizes.

Soy shakes will be especially useful for losing weight during intense training. That's why athletes love them so much. They contribute to the formation of muscle mass and increase endurance during heavy physical activity.

Perhaps the most famous and popular cocktails for weight loss are protein shakes (other names - protein, milk). They speed up metabolism, increase calorie consumption, are digested slowly, preserve muscle mass, and increase performance during intense physical activity.

They have a number of contraindications: individual intolerance to proteins, pathologies of the liver, kidneys, bladder, heart problems, diabetes, pregnancy.

Dosage regimens may be different:

  • replace 2 main meals or 1 with a cocktail;
  • drink between meals (lunch and afternoon snack);
  • half an hour before training and the same amount of time after it;
  • only in the morning, for breakfast, after a run.

The composition should contain either any low-fat dairy products, or egg white, or soy, or seafood (the best option is shrimp).

There are much fewer diuretic and laxative cocktails. And yet, when choosing beets, cucumbers, watermelons, melons for their preparation, keep this effect in mind. Yes, they will work for weight loss, but you will not lose fat, but harmful substances and excess fluid.

Let's understand the concepts. Not every combination of products in one drink can be called a cocktail. There must be at least three ingredients. The composition of the smoothie must include berries. And fresh juices are freshly squeezed juices.

To properly prepare truly effective weight loss cocktails, you need to know a few useful nuances.

Reception regimens

  1. Replace with a drink: breakfast / lunch / dinner / breakfast and lunch / breakfast and dinner / lunch and dinner. Most often consumed instead of dinner, so that fat reserves are not stored overnight.
  2. Drink instead of lunch and afternoon snack: you can replace both snacks with them, or just one.
  3. Use them exclusively at night (half an hour before bedtime).
  4. Replace one of any dishes for lunch.
  5. Half an hour before training and the same amount of time after it (this applies to protein and soy shakes).
  6. Half an hour before main meals (1-3 times a day).

Rules of application

  1. Choose only one cocktail regimen for weight loss and stick to it throughout the entire period of use. Don't combine them with each other.
  2. If you are replacing a full meal with this drink, you can combine it with whole grain bread or a handful of nuts.
  3. To build muscle mass, you need to increase strength training while drinking protein shakes. If you do not have such a goal, choose dietary or fat-burning ones and provide yourself with light (aerobic) physical activity.
  4. Don't drink in one gulp. Take small sips and enjoy the process to experience maximum pleasure. Special cocktail straws will help stretch it.
  5. During the first week, introduce only 1 glass of cocktail into your diet. If the body's reaction is normal and no side effects (in the form of stomach upset or skin rash) are detected, you can drink 2 glasses a day.
  6. To achieve the maximum effect in losing weight, be sure to limit your consumption of unhealthy foods, go on a diet, and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
  7. If after 2 weeks of drinking cocktails the weight loss results are not noticeable, then this is not your way to get rid of extra pounds. We'll have to find something else.
  8. Many recipes list honey as an ingredient. And yet, do not forget that this is sweetness, albeit natural. If you want to lose weight, give it up too.
  1. To prepare drinks you need a blender (mixer, shaker). It makes their consistency airy by stretching the molecular bonds, which reduces the actual volume of the serving while increasing the visual one.
  2. Use a measuring scale to weigh ingredients so you don't waste more than you should.
  3. Dairy products should be either low-fat or low-fat.
  4. Fruits, vegetables, berries are better fresh, not frozen or canned.
  5. Eggs are either boiled or used fresh (only if you are confident in their quality).
  6. After each time, wash the blender thoroughly so that the remaining ingredients in it do not turn sour.
  7. Make drinks in single servings so you can drink them right away.

A tasty and healthy breakfast is not just the start of a new successful day, it is the main boost of strength for the first half of the day and the restoration of healthy metabolism and the body’s energy resources after the night. Therefore, for those who are losing weight, breakfast plays a vital role.

Even if you are used to not having breakfast or making do with a cup of coffee and a sandwich, reconsider your habit, and the body will respond with health and a decrease in body mass index, good health and vigor.

The healthy habit of eating in the morning will develop in just two weeks - so it’s never too late to correct mistakes in your food culture.

It may seem that proper nutrition when losing weight is a very complex list of rules and conventions that are difficult to remember and follow. It actually looks pretty simple if you think about it.

So if the mission of breakfast is to support our body’s resources until lunch and, in general, to give strength and energy for the whole day, then the correct breakfast, taking into account the pace of life of a modern person, should be:

  • nutritious but not too bulky(about 30-40% of the daily caloric intake, but not more than 30% of the food volume);
  • include only natural products, rich in vitamins and microelements;
  • quick to prepare;
  • delicious;
  • it just has to be in the daily diet of every person.

It’s not for nothing that nutritionists emphasize that not having breakfast is the worst habit a person can have, as it leads to:

  • to overeating and an abundance of unhealthy snacks;
  • slowing down the body's metabolic processes;
  • apathy, poor health during the day.

Thus, if you don’t have the habit of eating breakfast, you can forget about healthy weight loss.

And, of course, an important aspect is considered not only the usefulness and nutritional value of breakfast, but also its taste - food should please and bring pleasure, and not become an enemy, a joyless duty that you perform through force - this way you won’t be able to last long enough on a diet.

Therefore, choose delicious recipes for your morning meal. It is important!

The choice of breakfast foods directly depends on the weight loss strategy that you have chosen for yourself.

So those who count calories can take porridge and smoothies for breakfast, lovers of low-calorie vegetable diets can use vegetable stews and salads, and those who are on a protein diet can choose dairy products or egg dishes.

Thus, the undisputed leaders for breakfast are:

Porridge is an ideal start to the day, as it contains a large amount of “good” carbohydrates - the so-called long-term carbohydrates, which allow you to feel good spirits and strength for at least several hours after eating. Such carbohydrates represent pure energy, which is very important for our body.

If you eat foods rich in carbohydrates for breakfast, hunger will not wake up as quickly as it happens if the basis of your diet is protein or fiber-rich foods.

In addition, porridge is easy to prepare - especially if you choose buckwheat flakes or rolled oats, which you can simply steam and eat in five minutes.

Let's look at several recipes that are optimal for those who are losing weight.

The key here is that when preparing and serving porridge, it is advisable not to use any sweet fillers (for example, many people like to add sugar or condensed milk to milk porridge) and oils - excess fats are not needed during a diet.

The cereal is thoroughly washed, cleared of impurities, and filled with kefir. Then you need to let it sit for 10-12 hours (you can prepare it the night before), and then you can just eat it. Again, you can add nuts or fruit if you wish, but it's pretty tasty without any additives.

Nowadays, protein diets are becoming increasingly popular - they give quick results and are quite easily tolerated. However, for those who have just begun to practice this method of losing weight, it can be difficult to find the optimal recipe.

Meanwhile, peel the peach, separate the pit and cut into cubes. We clean the walnuts and chop the kernels (you can use a blender or a knife blade).

For example, the optimal solution might be omelette with spinach. For it you need to take (per person):

  • egg whites- 3 pcs.;
  • spinach- 100g;
  • salt pepper taste.

Spinach can be used frozen, but it is best to let it thaw before preparing the omelette. Mix spinach and egg white, salt and pepper to taste, you can cook in the microwave (about 3 minutes), or in the oven, on a baking sheet covered with wax paper - five minutes until done.

Very easy and useful! When serving, you can garnish with bell pepper or tomato rings.

For a protein breakfast, another excellent option would be a portion of low-fat cottage cheese, which can be mixed with any available fruit - then it will be a sweet dish, or made salty - mixed with a boiled egg, green peas, herbs, fresh cucumber or salad, salt and pepper to taste .

Recipes for various vegetable salads are known to many, but during a diet you can wonderfully diversify your diet with fruit salads - light, sweet - so this is a real joy for a sweet tooth who is still forced to deny himself his favorite sweets.

  • yogurt without filler- 100g.

We peel the fruits and cut them into small slices, grind the hazelnuts in a mortar, mix all the ingredients, and season the salad with yogurt. When serving, you can garnish with a fresh mint leaf or berries.

In a similar way, you can prepare light fruit salads from almost any available fruits and berries. For example, there is also a popular fruit salad “Classic”, which includes:

  • seedless grapes- 100g;
  • yogurt- 100g.

As usual, the fruits are peeled and cut. Grape berries can be cut in half (if the grapes are large), the salad can be decorated with grated dark chocolate.

When preparing fruit salads, it is better to give preference to fresh fruits, but in moderation you can supplement them with canned fruits - they are usually too sweet due to the syrup with which they are poured, and therefore too high in calories.

So fruits should not be the basis of the salad, but they can be present in moderate quantities.

If you can’t have a full breakfast for one reason or another, then you can at least treat yourself to a morning cocktail. Of course, such a cocktail can also be an addition to some main dish.

  • peaches- 100g;
  • oranges- 100g;

If desired, milk can be replaced with kefir or yogurt, and in addition to fruit, add any berries to taste (gooseberries, pitted cherries, currants, blueberries) - they add a piquant sourness.

In addition, in the morning you can do the traditional one, everyone favorite smoothie. For it you will need:

  • kefir– 100 ml;
