7 Healthy Meal Replacement Smoothie Diet Recipes
In order to remain happy, healthy, and strong, your body should be getting a certain amount of protein and fiber every day.* This is true for everyone, but it is especially important for those who want to lose weight quickly. Unfortunately, many dieters think that the quickest way to a swimsuit-worthy body is through starvation.
The problem with this mentality is that it puts the body into a survival mode, where it begins to burn through muscle rather than stored fat in order to free up important nutrients. Instead, the best way to lose weight is to monitor food intake, and to make sure that you’re taking in the right kind of foods, like kale or spinach.
This is where a healthy meal-replacement smoothie diet comes in and can help with weight-loss.

Hi Diego,
We recommend just replacing one meal a day with one of these smoothies, or other meal replacement smoothies. Breakfast is typically the meal most people use a smoothie to replace, but lunch is also one you can replace a smoothie with.
Hi, those smoothies replace everyone of the meals ?
Or only can replace just a meal ?
