Fat Burning Green Tea and Vegetable Smoothie

This recipe is designed to burn fat, but it is also an antioxidant powerhouse.

Green tea increases metabolism and broccoli and cauliflower have enzymes that reportedly help the body more efficiently burn fat.

Pineapple is added for a flavor boost and to provide vitamin C and antioxidants.

Note that for fat burning properties caffeinated green tea should be used.

If you just want the antioxidant benefits of green tea then using decaf is fine.

Tip: Try other fruits to vary the taste. Apple, Lime, or banana, are all good options.

Note, this recipe was outsourced. Please do your own research on the benefits or lack thereof of Green Tea and whether you wish to use higher glycemic index fruit or not (I suggest substituting berries for a lower index or go to all veggies if you want to lower the glycemic index).

There is debate on all of these things, with varying views, especially when it comes to fruit in the diet.

I personally don’t think using Green Tea will  hurt you, and it adds a nice taste to the smoothie, but it may or may not meet up to the claims. No promises from us on that!

As always, please consult with a physician before going on a diet. Personally, I drink this fat burning recipe because I love the taste of the green tea in it!

How would you recommend cooling the green tea if you are short on time?

Carleen

You can put a few ice cubes in the blender and/or use frozen Pineapple and that will cool it down while making the smoothie.

Can i use banana instead of pineapple?

Carleen

You could use banana, but banana is a higher glycemic index fruit, so it will increase the calories of the smoothie and take away from the fat burning potential.

I tend to prefer to drink any smoothie within about 12 hours of blending. I do sometimes make them before bed for breakfast the next day.
