How Do You Make Healthy Diet Shakes At Home?
The whole family can enjoy making healthy diet shakes or smoothies at home. Jump start weight loss with diet shakes made from fruit and other wholesome foods. Try drinking diet shakes for the majority of your meals for three months, substituting shakes for breakfast and lunch, then tapering off to just one diet shake a day for effective and safe weight loss. Maintain your weight by including one diet shake a day thereafter. One of the best ingredients to use in a diet shake is skim milk. Skim milk is a good source of protein and contains only about 80 calories per cup. Limit the skim milk to one cup per shake, as more milk will add more calories. Add zero calorie sweeteners such as Splenda or Equal to add more sweetness to the shake or smoothie if needed. A good rule of thumb is to have your shakes be about 28 calories per ounce. Shakes are easily made by tossing all ingredients into a blender and blending for about 30 seconds. Add more ice if needed for thickness. Make a diet Jello mi
