Its Monday and today we kicked off my brand new 7 Day Smoothie Challenge in the Eat Nourish Glow Facebook group. For the next week those on the challenge will be enjoying my clean eating smoothie recipes that are chock-a-block full of nourishing fat-burning ingredients. Its going to be such deliciously good super foodie week and it's not too late for you to join too! Blenders ready? Let's nourish!
With the recent release of my new Detox Smoothie cookbook, I thought hosting a fun blog challenge would be a fabulous way to support those who are also interested in healthy smoothies for weight loss. It's the perfect way to kick off your weight loss journey with all natural fat-burning ingredients that will give your body an energy and metabolic boost. But first, let's have a quick chat about why smoothies are great for healthy, safe weight loss.
Smoothies For Weight Loss
Smoothies offer a delicious, clean eating way to begin your weight loss journey, and shhhhh—its a far better method to add to your weight loss plan than a calorie-restrictive diet. In fact, providing an alternative to restrictive dieting is exactly why I created this 7 Day Smoothie Challenge. I was repeatedly asked by clients in my clinic about using smoothies for healthy weight loss, and I felt— you know what— people deserve a healthier option to all the diets and restriction-based protocols cluttering Pinterest, Instagram and the rest of cyperspace. So, I wrote several smoothie challenges to help women just like you achieve their health and weight loss goals using more wholefood, clean eating approaches.
By following this smoothie challenge, you'll enjoy these weight loss benefits:
a boosted metabolism: with a balance of dietary fibre, lean protein, and healthy fats, these smoothies will keep you full and help rev up your metabolism.
reduced sugar cravings: each smoothie is naturally sweetened with fruits, helping to curb your sweet tooth without any processed sugar.
better gut health and digestion: wholefood ingredients such as leafy greens, chia seeds, and plant-based proteins aid in digestion and keep you feeling light.
hydrate and detox: these smoothies help flush toxins from your body and keep you hydrated throughout the day.
It's simply wild how quickly you can start to feel more energised, focused and happier when you feed and fuel your body the nourishment it needs. Let me prove it to you over the next seven days. Blenders ready? Let's go over the basics and tuck into the nourishing smoothie recipes together!

Weight Loss Smoothie Challenge Tips
A big part of weight loss success is planning ahead for healthy, well-balanced meals that not only taste good, but also focus macros that matter—fibre, protein and healthy fats. When you combine this with healthy habits, daily exercise and a positive mindset, the weight can easily melt away. Here's a few of my Nutritionist's tips to keep in mind:
stay fully hydrated: drink at least 3 litres of water daily to help assimilate the extra dietary fibre you are consuming in the recipes, and also to help flush out toxins.
focus on high-fibre, high-protein: for meals outside of your smoothies, opt for high-fibre, high protein foods sources to keep you full, stabilise blood sugar, and reduce food cravings.
daily movement: aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, or strength training. This will complement your efforts in the kitchen, and support fat loss.
prioritise sleep: 7-8 hours per night is crucial for a woman's metabolism and overall health, and helps to balance your hunger hormones, ghrelin and leptin.
morning sun: 10-15 minutes of morning sunlight daily will boost your vitamin D levels, help improve mood, and support a healthy weight loss mindset if you choose to do affirmations or meditation.
These tips can help you boost your weight loss results, and keep you energised and focused throughout the challenge. You'll find more ideas and support inside the Facebook Community, click here.
