Step 1
Buy cranberries to add to a smoothie drink for fat loss. Cranberries are rich in essential vitamins and minerals that are needed in the body for normal operations, including liver function. Cranberry juice helps flush toxic fluids from the body, reducing water weight and waste products that are trapped in your tissues. Increased digestive processes also speed up the metabolism, which increases calories burned and fat-burning potential.
Step 2
Prepare your blender by plugging it in and taking the lid off. Measure out 4 oz., or 1/2 cup, of unsweetened cranberries. Wash berries thoroughly under cold water, then toss into blender. Add 4 oz. of water. Include 4 oz. of unsweetened cranberry juice for additional flavoring if desired.
Step 3
Add 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to the blender. You can substitute with an equal amount of milk, but yogurt will provide a thicker consistency to your smoothie. Opt for Greek yogurt, which is higher in protein, calcium and probiotics, which are healthy bacteria that help regulate the digestive system in eliminating waste products and toxins.
Step 4
Peel a banana, chop into small pieces and toss into blender. Bananas are rich in potassium, which provides energy to the body and a natural source of sugar to sweeten the smoothie.
Step 5
Add 1/2 cup of crushed ice to the blender. Replace lid and blend the mixture on high for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until a thick consistency is reached. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately or refrigerate tightly covered for consumption later that day.
