9 Metabolism-Boosting Smoothie Ingredients

Green Tea/Matcha

Green tea has amazing fat burning properties that also kick start your metabolism. Green tea is high in polyphenols and antioxidants that support health and prevent premature aging.  You can add cooled or iced green tea as your liquid.  Or you can add dried, ground tea leaves (matcha) directly to your smoothie.  This will give you a huge metabolism and energy boost to get you through the day.

Grapefruit

It’s been shown time and time again that people who eat grapefruit tend to lose weight. While grapefruit juice is a perfectly acceptable backup option to boost your metabolism, it’s best to add the whole grapefruit into your smoothies so it’s digested as a food rather than a juice for maximum weight loss.  Grapefruit pairs well with frozen mangoes.

For an extra boost of antioxidants and metabolism-boosting properties, try adding pure grapefruit essential oil.

Pineapple

Pineapples are high in Vitamin C which is a natural metabolism-boosting nutrient. Pineapples are also high in enzymes.  Foods high in enzymes promote improved digestion and metabolism.  Adding some pineapple into your morning smoothies will give you that extra energy boost to last all day all the while working to help you keep that metabolism working hard.  You can use fresh or frozen pineapple.

Banana

Bananas have important nutrients and trace minerals that support digestion and neurotransmitter function.  They are also high in amino acids.

Bananas make a great base for smoothies.  If you want your smoothie extra smooth and creamy, add a frozen banana.

Spinach

Green smoothies pack a huge punch when it comes to getting your metabolism boosted for maximum weight loss. Adding spinach to your breakfast smoothie will provide your body with protein, iron, and calcium to give your body that nutrient boost necessary for maximum health.  You can use fresh or frozen spinach.

Spinach has mineral salts and other important nutrients that help the liver with detoxification.  When your body is less bogged down with toxins, you have a more efficient metabolic system.

Kale

Like spinach, kale is another fabulous option for any green metabolism-boosting smoothie. Kale is known as a superfood because it’s packed with nutrition and low in calories. It’s high in vitamin C which is well-known for giving your metabolism a jumpstart. Consider adding some kale into your morning smoothie to see how you enjoy this flavorful option for green smoothies.  You can use fresh or frozen kale.

Collagen Peptides

If you’re looking for an easily digestible and clean source of protein, consider adding Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides to your smoothies.  It’s tasteless and it provides your body with pure amino acids.  It also contains Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C which promote antiaging and healthy hair, skin and nails.
