The Best Detox Juice Recipe for Weight Loss (No Juicer Needed)

If you have a juicer at home and prefer juicing these recipes you can totally do that too. But with smoothies, you’re basically eating the whole food (fiber intact) in a pureed form and almost everyone has a good blender in their kitchen already.

Because you’re eating the entire food vs juicing and losing all that healthy fiber, smoothies can serve as meal replacements because they contain enough calories to keep you full.

So I choose to use my blender instead of a juicer for all of these recipes (here is a link to the blender I love NutriBullet Blender Combo) 

The Healthy Detox Weight Loss Smoothy Recipe

The healthy weight loss detox smoothy recipe is made up of four ingredients:

• Healthy Fats 
• Fiber 
• Fruit 
• Liquid

For the liquid, you can add water, green tea, yerba mate tea, or coconut water. Then add half a banana, 2 handfuls of spinach, 3 tbsp of hemp hearts, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp Matcha powder, 1 tbsp MCT Oil (I use Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil), juice from half a lemon, 1 scoop of college protein powder, and 2 to 2 1/2 cups of water (or coconut water, green tea, or yerba mate tea).

Weight Loss Fat Fueled Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

For all my chocolate lovers out there this will most likely be your new BFF. This recipe is a great breakfast meal replacement because it is loaded with healthy fats that will fuel your mornings and give you mental clarity, and save you lots of time and money in the mornings too. Add a little brewed coffee and butter to make it a Bullet Proof Morning Mocha Latte.

To a blender add half an organic banana, half an organic avocado, 3 tbsp organic chia seeds, 1 tbsp organic almond butter, 1 handful of organic spinach, 1 tbsp organic cacao powder, 1 scoop college protein powder, and 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk. Add 1 cup of brewed coffee, a dash of cinnamon, and 1 tbsp butter for a warm cocoa mocha latte.

This smoothy is such to keep you full all morning, nip that sweet tooth in the bud, and help you avoid those expensive and sugar-loaded drinks at the Starbucks window.

The Hormone Balancing Berry-Delicious Blueberry Smoothy

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and are a great source of vitamin C. Adding cinnamon can help stabilize your blood sugars which are key for weight loss for this reason and because it’s delicious I love adding cinnamon to most of my smoothy recipes and to my morning Bullet Proof Coffee which you can find the recipe for here Hormonal Imbalance Weight Loss Drink.

For this recipe add to your blender 1 cup of frozen organic blueberries, 1/2 a ripe avocado, 1 tbsp almond butter, juice from 1/2 a lemon, 1 handful of spinach, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 scoop of college protein powder, 2-3 cups of water (or coconut water).

Not only will this berry delicious smoothy fill you up it will also boost your immune system with all the antioxidants and vitamin C from the blueberries. This is one of my favorite summer breakfast or lunch replacement smoothies!

The Best Green Drink for Weight Loss (no juicer needed)

I have been drinking green drinks for YEARS. I use to juice all the ingredients fresh daily but not only was it messy and time-consuming but it was very expensive too. After several years of faithfully juicing daily, I learned our bodies cannot digest fruits and vegetables without the fiber they contain. Basically, I was instantly peeing out all that time, money, and mess!

That’s when I switched to a green drink supplement.

Most of the green drinks I have tried taste awful and are hard to get down. For this reason, most people never make it past a couple of weeks of green drinks before they quit. But that is because they have never tasted Organifi Green Juice.

Organifi Green Juice is loaded with healthy supplements and is hands down the BEST green drink I have ever tasted! Organifi has 11 superfood ingredients mixed and ready to go for you for only $1.74 a day! Pretty awesome right?

They also have thousands of testimonials of people losing weight when they started drinking Organifi!

Is Your Weight Gain Signs of a Hormonal Imbalance? Top Signs of Hormonal Imbalance. 

Fluctuations in hormones in women can cause many frustrating side effects for women and if left untreated can lead to chronic issues that will progressively get worse. The most common hormonal fluctuations in women occur during menstrual cycles, premenopause, menopause, pregnancy, and chronic stress or sleep issues. Leading to inulin resistance and thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary gland disorders. 

Hormonal Weight gain is one of the top reasons women gain weight especially during or after pregnanices and around age 40 when menopause (premenospause) is approaching. These massive changes in our hormones leads to all kinds of negative side effects.

Symptoms to look out for are:

• Weight gain, hormonal imbalance weight gain shows up around the belly, thighs, and butt causing the “pair-shaped” body type 
• Hair Loss
• Insulin drops – feeling Hangry 
• Dry Skin
• Irregular menstruation (periods)
• Infertility
• Irregular menstruation (periods)
• Infertility
• Acne and hormonal acne
• Diabetes
• Thyroid disease/disorder
• Obesity 
• Slow heartbeat or rapid heartbeat 
• Unexplained weight gain or weight loss.
• Fatigue.
• Constipation.
• Diarrhea or more frequent bowel movements.
• Numbness and tingling in your hands.
• Higher-than-normal blood cholesterol levels.
• Depression or anxiety.
• Unable to tolerate cold temperatures or warm temperatures.
• Dry, coarse skin and hair.
• Thin, warm, and moist skin.
• Irregular body fat distribution.
• Darkened skin in your armpit or the back and sides of your neck.
• Skin tags (small skin growths).
• Extreme thirst and frequent urination.

How to Test for Hormonal Imbalance

If you have one or more of the symptoms from the list above it is a pretty good indication your hormones are out of wack! There are two options in testing for a hormonal imbalance. You can test at home using a home hormonal test kit, or visit your doctor and request a full hormone panel blood work.

If you are getting your hormonal panel done in a lab by your doctor something to keep in mind before starting any prescribed medication for a hormonal imbalance, most commonly thyroid replacement medication is to do your research. Once you get on any kind of medication for a hormonal imbalance it is very difficult to wean your body off of it and is not recommended by doctors. 

This process took me a little over 3 years to heal my hormones and wean myself off of thyroid medication with quarterly blood work to ensure my hormones were where they should be, which is a pretty expensive process in and of itself. 

I did not know then what I have learned and share now about being able to naturally heal and reset our hormones. If you do find your hormones are out of balance find a doctor who will help you take a more natural approach to heal. Multiple doctors and specialists told me healing my thyroid and being off of thyroid medication were not possible. 

Yet here we are and I have fully healed my thyroid and hormones and I am off of all medication. Thousands of others, among them my mentor Dr. Mark Hyman have healed their hormones naturally as well. It is possible. 

The Best Diet for Hormonal Weight Gain

Odds are pretty good that if you have gained weight and not been able to easily lose it, or have been over weight for more than a year then there is a hormonal imbalance involved. The question of does being over weight, or obses cause a hormonal imbalance or does a hormonal imblance cause obesity the simple answer is yes!

It does not really matter which came first if you have one the other is soon to follow.

The best diet for hormonal weight gain in my own personal experience, and in helping so many heal their hormones as well is hands down the Clean Keto Diet.

Clean Keto is essentially the keto diet minus dairy and avoiding highly refined processed foods I like to call Frankin’ Foods. Foods that are not real, they are cooked up in a lab somewhere using God only knows what, and they are made to last on the shelf for years and be highly addicting so that you buy more.

When I started Keto almost six years ago now it was the school of hard knocks for me. I spent months researching and meal planning trying to figure it all out myself. Now, I can recommend to you the Custom Keto Meal Planner for weight loss as the big red easy button to starting Keto.

Custom Keto Meal Planner quizzes you on your taste buds and weight loss goals and then formulates the perfect done for you meal plan to fit your needs. It even emails you the shopping list every week for less than a dinner out with friends (its under $40 per month).

Why Keto works for Hormonal Imabalance

At the core of hormonal imbalance is inflammation. The Standard American Diet, SAD yes that is literally the acryonim for it, runs on sugar, carbs, and convenience. This means that anywhere from 60-90% of Americans diets are full of dyes, frankin food ingredients made to keep them addicted, and SUGAR.

Gluten, dairy, sugar, and seed oils are at the top of the list when it comes to inflammation. Seed oils causing inflammation in the brain are one of the first ingredients to eliminate! Scary right?

The quickest and easiest way to eliminate these foods and have 100s of 1,000s of foods and recipes accessible is to just follow the Clean Keto eating style.

If you know you have a hormonal imbalance or you had more than a couple of the symptoms from the list above its probably a good idea to take a supplement that can help boost your hormonal functions for you while you are working on weight loss. Hormonal Harmony is great, not only because as you will read so many people saw such quick results and weight loss, but also because its essentially a multivitamin for your hormones.

Conclusion

Losing weight can be frustrating especially when there is a bigger root problem, hormonal imbalance. Once you start implementing the steps above of eliminating foods that are known to mess with our hormones, and eating a clean healthy balanced diet. You are supplementing with the a good quality green drink and vitamins that are targeted to boost hormone health you will start to see massive improvements in both your over all feeling of well being and your weight loss! 

Consistency is key in any health journey but I am confident these easy to follow steps will work for you because they are the exact steps I took to heal my hormones and lose over 50 pounds when NOTHING ELSE WORKED!
