Weight Gain Smoothie

1 banana
2 dates
1 cup almond milk

Both of these smoothies are delicious ways to incorporate more greens into your diet. The weight-loss smoothie focuses on ingredients that are nutritionally dense, high in fiber and water content, and low in calories. Remember that the key to losing weight is consistently having a calorie deficit!

The weight-gain green smoothie has ingredients that are high in protein, carbs, and healthy natural fats. Keep in mind that the key to gaining weight is to consistently eat more calories than you burn (but this doesn’t mean you should resort to unhealthy, calorie-dense foods!).

Regardless of whether you want to lose or gain weight, remember to exercise, get plenty of sleep, and stay hydrated!
