7 Days of LeanShake: 7 weight loss healthy smoothie recipes

Yey, it’s a brand-new year. Let’s make this the one where we let our health come first! The holiday season can be a busy time. And, healthy habits do get lost with the catchups, late nights, sleep-ins and overeating at the dessert bar…  So before jumping into your goals for 2022, let’s restart your healthy habits with our 7 days of LeanShake challenge.

We want to help re-motivate you, rev up that metabolism and regain energy with 7 weight loss healthy smoothie recipes. We have a plan for you and no, it’s not a 7-day green smoothie challenge! It’s a plan that involves gaining back healthy habits with handy tips and the best smoothies for weight loss and energy. Are you ready to take on the challenge?! Bear in mind that replacing one meal with LeanShake promotes weight maintenance, and while replacing two meals with LeanShake stimulates weight loss.

The 7-day smoothie weight maintenance plan.

OK, let’s start planning. In this 7-day smoothie diet plan, we want to include some helpful and healthy habits to add to your day-to-day regime.

Here is the plan:

1. Move your body daily for at least 30 minutes or more. This can be a walk, run, gym session, Pilates, or yoga.
2. Replace one meal a day with a smoothie recipe we have created for you. We would suggest either replacing breakfast or lunch with a nourishing smoothie. There are 7 smoothie recipes to choose from and they are all full of nutrients, protein, and omegas.
3. Stay away from high sugar/processed foods Once you start with this healthy habit, it does get easier. If you are craving a snack, have some fresh veggies, fruit, whip up some chocolate protein balls or snack on the Zinzino energy or protein bars. Do remember that balance is the key, and one piece of chocolate is not going to mess up your life or intentions. Promise.
4. Go alcohol-free for the next 7 days. Yep, it’s time to give your body a break from the silly season. And that does not mean replacing the glass of wine with a beverage unless it’s sugar-free!
5. Drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day. This will help with digestion and flushing things out.
6. Try and get 6-8 hours of sleep each night. Set an alarm for bed and wake up at the same time each day. This is a great way to restart a healthy sleep habit.
7. Plan your meals and meal prep. Dedicate one day a week to plan what your meals consist of each day, write a shopping list and prepare those meals. By having your meals set up, it is easier to chop up ingredients in preparation of cooking, or cooking the meal and freezing it. This will help you stick to the plan and transitioning to new, healthy habits, too.
