    • Hello there again,

      Smoothie is a healthy weight loss drink if you know what to mix with when preparing it.
      A good way for a weight loss journey if combined with a solid meal plan. Just having smoothies all the way without any proper solid meal is not good for the body in long term.

      Thanks,
      Joe
