How The Smoothie Diet Works

The Smoothie Diet works by having you create a calorie deficit.

The e-book walks you through how many calories you should have per day which depends on your activity level and your BMR (basal metabolic rate) which is the number of calories your body burns at rest.

When you start The Smoothie Diet, you can either go all-in or give yourself a warm-up week. In the warm-up week, you replace 1 meal with a smoothie. After that, you replace 2 meals with a smoothie.

You’re allowed two snacks in between each smoothie, each snack being 150 calories. For dinner, you’re allowed to have a light dinner of 450 calories.

The 6 Different Greens

The Smoothie Diet will introduce you to a wide range of fruits and vegetables.

Here is a list of greens that you can expect to put in your smoothie throughout the 21 days:

Benefits of Greens

Spinach contains iron which must be combined with vitamin C for full iron absorption and it’s full of vitamin k, fiber, phosphorus, thiamine, and magnesium,
Romaine contains calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and potassium. It’s also packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate.
Kale contains antioxidants, calcium, vitamin C and K, and iron. Also, it can help manage blood pressure, help digestive health, and may help protect against cancer and type 2 diabetes.
Chard is a good source of calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, sodium, phosphorus, and vitamin E and also includes antioxidants that help protect cells against free radical damage.
Bok Choy contains vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidants.
Arugula contains vitamins C, K, A, and calcium, potassium, and folate-a B vitamin.

Vitamins

Vitamin C helps the immune system and helps keep bones and teeth strong
Calcium helps maintain bone strength, muscle function, nerve function, and blood clotting¹
Vitamin K helps maintain bone strength, improves memory, and helps keep blood pressure low²
Vitamin A supports cell growth and reproductive health
Phosphorus paired with calcium builds strong bones and teeth
Magnesium works with calcium to build tissue
Potassium helps the body regulate fluid, send nerve signals and regulate muscle contractions³

The Endless List of Fruits

During the Smoothie Diet, you’ll be consuming SO many different fruits!

Here is a list of all the fruits:

This list may seem overwhelming BUT the list is spread out over 3 weeks and you’re only buying a few of each fruit throughout The Smoothie Diet.

Also, the frozen fruits will most likely last you for the entire 3 weeks.

Fun Snack Idea: Freeze the green grapes and have the leftover grapes as a healthy snack.

Prep Time For Each Smoothie

The prep time for each smoothie does take some time. I would estimate the time as 5 minutes per smoothie.

It’s probably best to prep a day ahead of time if you’re short on time. Or, make both smoothies in the morning.

If you need to prep your smoothies ahead of time, I suggest using mason jars and storing them in the fridge. Do NOT put them in the freezer because the jar will most likely shatter or crack.

Why It’s Difficult To Use Protein In The Smoothies

This was probably the one downfall of the Smoothie Diet. You’re encouraged to have X amount of protein throughout the day. Depending on your diet, it’s doable but for vegetarians, vegans, and plant-based eaters, it is more difficult.

You can use protein in your smoothies, but you’ll get a different taste. For some of the smoothies, you just know that adding a protein powder will take away from the shake tasting good. For example, there is a smoothie that uses lime juice causing it to have a tangy taste.

If you want to incorporate more protein, you can always have a protein shake for a snack. I had the extra protein shake after my workouts which helped with muscle growth and repair.

The amount of protein you eat makes a difference because protein helps build muscle and muscle burns more calories than fat. So, you do want to increase your protein intake to burn more fat.
