Try the green smoothie with oat flakes, blueberries and spinach leaves - it tastes good, fills you up and helps you lose weight.
With the long home office time due to the corona pandemic, many people's desire to lose weight is greater than ever.
The reason is, on the one hand, the reduced exercise that people do on their way to work, but also the lack of sport, which many did not do during the lockdown.
In addition, some people have unhealthy eating habits that they got used to during the difficult times - and the kilos are suddenly on their hips faster than they can be gotten off them again.
While some people swear by lemon water for weight loss or the apple-ginger-cucumber shake, the healthy, green smoothie may be just the thing for you.

Vegetable juices for losing weight have not only been available since yesterday, and yet the demand for them is currently particularly high.
Some rely on carrots and ginger to lose weight with the carrot-ginger shake.
Others are enthusiastic about the celery shake as a cure that can help you lose up to five kilos of weight.

Vegetable juice is often used as part of everyday intermittent fasting, which is also recommended by nutritionists due to its positive effect on the intestines in cases of chronic constipation.
Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner - the green smoothie is ideal as a complete meal thanks to its balanced recipe, but has fewer calories than an average meal.
Why is it so balanced?
Spinach and oat flakes make it a real power drink.
You can lose weight easily with oatmeal anyway.
Additionally blueberries in the shake provide the necessary vitamins.
The most important thing: it is made by yourself.
So you know for sure what's inside.
Store-bought juices are often very high in calories because they are rich in fructose.
So the effort of preparing it yourself is worth it.
However, if you are not a fan of vegetables, you should try the coffee diet.

Lose weight: Green smoothie with spinach and oatmeal replaces a meal
With a calorie content of around 20 kilocalories per 100 grams, spinach is a real slimming agent.
It also contains so-called membrane systems in its plant cells, the thylakoids, which stimulate the release of the hormone GLP-1 in our body.
GLP-1 suppresses the feeling of hunger.
Spinach is therefore a completely natural appetite suppressant.
The healthy leafy vegetables are also rich in plant protein, B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin K as well as minerals such as magnesium and iron.
The reason why oatmeal is a good food for losing weight is because the fiber it contains fills you up quickly and for a longer period of time.
Oats contain a lot of minerals, protein, vitamins and iron, which prevents a lack of nutrients during the diet.
