Here are some things you can add to your smoothies for extra nutrients:

​​

Psyllium fiber is a great weight loss supplement that helps to satisfy the appetite and regulate the digestive system.

​

Coconut milk is great for weight loss and adds great flavor. Coconut milk helps control blood sugar and build strong bones.

​

Your local health food supply store will carry protein powers. Adding whey protein powders can be an easy way to add protein to your diet.

​

Greek yogurt can add to the consistency and provide added health benefits. Greek yogurt is a good source of calcium and can help curb your appetite.

​

Keep in mind, however, that the suggested add-ins aren’t necessarily low in calories.
