10 Smoothie Ideas under 150 calories

It’s 3 pm… I don’t know about you, but I’ve been working hard all day and it’s time for a snack!

Are you someone who:

1. Reaches for that salty bag of chips?
2. Starts searching all your hubby’s favorite hiding spots, trying to find the chocolate you asked him to hide- so you wouldn’t eat it?
3. Someone who is able to able to dole themselves out just 15 almonds and not eat the rest of the bag?

(I’m usually number 2. Lucky for me though, my hubby is an excellent hider….)

I’m always trying to eat better/watch what I eat. ( And not always with success…)

By 3:00 pm, my willpower’s at its lowest point of the day and it’s so tough to resist those not so good for you snacks.

One of my favorite snacks to help keep me on track and resist temptation is a fruit smoothie. Smoothies are an excellent way to satisfy a sweet tooth without too many extra calories and they are so good for you too!

Low Calorie Smoothies:

Today, I have 10 delicious smoothie recipes/ideas to share. The best part is, the smoothies are all around 150 calories or less!

Are Smoothies Good for Weight Loss?

There are definite health benefits to smoothies. Fiber, antioxidants, calcium, etc… The list goes on.

While drinking a healthy smoothie won’t induce weight loss in itself; replacing a sugary or processed snack with a low calorie smoothie will definitely fill you up, satisfy your sweet tooth and help keep you on the right track.

My Secret Low Calorie Smoothie Ingredient:

One of the ways I keep the calorie count down on my afternoon smoothie is by using Silk Unsweetened Almond or Coconut Milk. There is also an Almond Coconut Blend (yum) for 35 calories and an unsweetened Cashew milk version that is 25 calories.

Depending on the flavor you choose and as long as you stick with the unsweetened, the calories range from 25 to 60 for a full cup!

Tips For Making the Best Low Calorie Smoothies:

1. Use fresh or frozen fruit (or a combo of both) If you use fresh, you will need to add about 1/2 cup of ice.) Ripe bananas work best.
2. Load smoothie ingredients into the container in the proper order—liquids first, then soft fruits or vegetables, greens, and ice on top.
3. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, you might need a bit of sweetener, use honey, agave, maple syrup, Stevia, sugar substitute, apple juice, or a little sugar a tiny bit at a time.
4. All blenders are different, and will process, the ingredient at a different rate so if your Smoothie is too thin: Add a bit more fruit/banana/ice. If it is too thick: add a bit more Silk Almond/Coconut Milk or low sugar juice.
5. Optional add-ins to bump up the nutritional content: 1/2 avocado, (will add creaminess w/out changing the flavor) Handful of baby spinach, chia or flax seed, protein powder, nut butters, yogurt or even cooked oatmeal. (keep in mind theas also bump the calorie count!
