"Nutritionist-Recommended Ingredients for Weight-Loss Smoothies"

While smoothies can be a nutritious option, a registered nutritionist advises caution for those aiming to lose weight, as it's easy to consume more calories when drinking them. She recommends laying out all smoothie ingredients and considering if you would eat them in one sitting, and suggests adding ingredients like Greek yogurt, nut butter, oats, and protein powder for a more balanced and filling option. However, she warns that solely fruit-based smoothies may not be satisfying and should be factored into a calorie deficit for fat loss.
