8 Delicious Weight-Loss Smoothies
Weight-Loss Smoothies: Spinach and Avocado
Half
an avocado per serving makes this smoothie totally worthy as a meal
replacement. To make it even more filling (and flavorful), Cassie
Johnston—whose new cookbook Chia, Quinoa, Kale, Oh My! is out now—adds peanut butter.
Makes 2 servings
1 avocado, pitted
1 cup fresh spinach
1 large ripe banana
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 cup milk
Handful of ice cubes
Blend all ingredients in a blender on high speed until very smooth.

doughnuts and coffee cake.

1 cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup unsweetened nut, soy, or cow's milk

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2 cups pitted, halved cherries
