Keep scrolling down below and know the properties and functioning of each ingredient and how it helps the body burn belly fat and overall fat.
Ingredients
Pineapple: Use either fresh pineapple or frozen pineapple chunks. It may not be available all season, and frozen can be a good substitute for fresh pineapple cubes.
Spinach: Spinach leaves that are fresh and green are a must to make the drink. Fresh spinach leaves have many benefits.
Avocado: Make sure to use a perfectly ripe avocado and not use unripened avocado. A ripe avocado is easy to peel, eat and mash.
Chia seeds are a must in the kitchen if you want to lose weight and feel full, as they can fulfill both properties.
Water: A drink is incomplete without using water, and make sure to add water if the consistency needed is neither thick nor thin.
Ice: This is optional but if you want to give a chilling effect, add some ice cubes while blending and enjoy the drink.
Benefits
Pineapple
Aids digestion: The first and essential function of pineapple is to help with better digestion. Sometimes protein is hard to digest and not easily absorbed by the intestines.
In such a case, pineapple helps break down the protein and eases the process of digestion quickly.
Low calories: It has fewer calories, and a good fiber combination makes it the best fruit to add while making a pineapple smoothie to lose weight.
Pain reliever: It has a fantastic property and acts as a pain reliever when used after surgery or infection. It is rich in Vitamin C, which can help reduce inflammation.
Fiber and weight loss: It consists of fiber that helps keep you full until your next meal; this feeling of being full keeps you away from overeating and can help burn calories quickly.
Belly fat: Having pineapple regularly in any form reduces belly fat as this fruit helps with good digestion, increases metabolism, and helps reach weight loss goals.
Bromelain’s enzyme helps break down the protein molecules and fat in the stomach area, leading to better digestion and fat loss.
Hydrating: It is a fruit that keeps you hydrated all the time.
What are the ways to include pineapple in the diet?
Include pineapple in the form of salads, add some chunks to your dish, and use it in desserts, but try to use it healthily by making juices, smoothies, detox, etc.
Cut it into slices or cubes and enjoy it during snacking by replacing it with unhealthy snacks.
To burn fat, making various pineapple smoothies work effectively in burning calories.
Do not just eat pineapple throughout the day, as 1 cup contains roughly 83 calories, and having or following only a pineapple diet can make you inactive because of calorie deficiency.
A body needs enough calories to continue daily activities and maintaining only a pineapple diet is not the right way to lose weight.
Replace meals with a pineapple diet in your weight loss diet once a day or thrice a week to help you with better digestion and lose fat.
Avocado benefits
Avocados are high in fiber, which can help you eat less and keep you full.
They contain healthy fats that help to burn the calories inside the body quickly.
They not help in burning calories but also help in burning other body fats quickly.
They are high in calories, and adding them to smoothie diets can help give you good calories, and at the same time, the healthy fats do the work of burning the calories taken.
This way, you get enough calories and keep yourself feeling full, do the work of burning calories, leading to proper weight management.
Avocados help in lowering cholesterol levels and reducing your blood pressure levels.
Spinach and chia for weight loss
Spinach is rich in fiber and particularly insoluble fiber, and this is a low-calorie veggie. The combination of low calories and good fiber speeds up bodies metabolism and controls gaining weight.
Spinach also regulates your blood pressure levels and is a hydrating veggie that contains mostly water.
The chia seeds are packed with fiber and protein, which can keep you full, but since they are high in calories, it is necessary to add them moderately to your daily diet.
Adding or consuming a good amount of chia seeds may increase your weight and do nothing for weight loss.
