Low-calorie smoothies are a delicious option as a nutritious breakfast or even a light lunch when you’re following an OPTIFAST diet plan.
Our OPTIFAST Shakes can be blended with ice and water to make a delicious smoothie.
When following a weight loss plan, you can still enjoy a nutritious smoothie with the option of adding in more fresh fruit along with skimmed milk or fat-free yoghurt to make a more substantial drink.
For those on a vegan diet, you can easily adapt the recipe by using plant-based milk and leaving out the honey, using another type of sweetener instead – when you’re tracking your daily calorie intake, just remember to adjust the calorie count for any changes you make.
