Recipe 1: Dairy-free, sugar-free, and no banana smoothie.
The first recipe that I will recommend is a breakfast smoothie. If you are looking for a smoothie recipe for weight loss, then this recipe is for you. It is easy to make with instant recipes. It is healthy and can help you with weight loss too.
Ingredients- a cup of warm water, blending jar, a cup of oat, cashew, two spoon tahini, a few dates, an apple
Step 1: Soak a cup of oats and a few cashews in warm water for 10-15 minutes. However, if you are using normal/cold water, you can keep it soaked overnight too. Then you can use it in the morning right away.
Step 2: Take the blending jar and pour water into it. Water is the base of smoothies. So, always pour water into the blending jar before mixing any other ingredients. Then add the soaked oats and cashew nuts with it.
Step 3: Add dates. Do not forget to remove the seed of the date. If the dates are not soft, then you can try and soak them in water before making the smoothie. Also, add two spoons of tahini. Add an extra spoon of water with tahini so that it doesn’t stick with the blender jar.
If you don’t know what tahini is, then it is a batter-like substance. It adds smoothness and consistency to the smoothie. You can make tahini by yourself too. Add hulled sesame seed and add a little oil and salt. You can also skip this if you don’t mind the taste too much.
Step 4: Peel an apple and make sure to remove its seeds before you blend it all. Otherwise, the smoothie might taste bitter. Now blend all of it at high speed and wait for it to blend completely.
Step 5: Transfer the smoothie to a glass. Then take some roasted cashews and garnish them. Add the garnished cashew to your smoothie, and it is ready to serve.
