Losing weight and detoxing go hand-in-hand, and this smoothie will make sure that you’re getting what you need to do both at once. The protein powder in this will help you develop lean muscle, and also help you make it through to lunch. The green tea provides antioxidants and depending on the green tea you are planning to use, a bit of caffeine to give you some energy when you’re running low. To give you some idea Jasmine Green Tea will have a low level (5-20mg) of caffeine, while an Indian Green tea will have a higher level (59 mg) but still less then coffee (62-95 mg).
Detoxing and Weight Loss
You’ll likely lose some weight when you detox, and if you’re trying to lose weight it’s recommended to detox first in order to give yourself the best chance of success. Your body will be able to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat better, and you’ll be able to draw a distinction between your old ways and your new ways with a Before Detox and After Detox separation.
