The diet shakes are suspensions prepared based on fruit or vegetables. They are made using a common glass blender or alternatively with the immersion blender. In both cases, well-washed and organically grown fruits and vegetables are mixed as-is or with the addition of a liquid: water or milk or soy, oatmeal, almond or rice-based beverages. The addition of water does not alter the nutritional values and caloric intake of the shake, while the addition of milk or beverages of vegetable origin alters their nutritional characteristics.
How to prepare a slimming shake
The preparation of shakes is within everyone’s reach: the blender , in fact, is one of the most widespread appliances, even though today it divides space with extractors and centrifuges. It is known that the action of the blades and the friction that is created during the action of the blades generates heat that largely affects the final concentration of vitamins in a negative way. However, it is also true that the three different preparations have significant overall differences, not just from the point of view of vitamins. At all concentration of mineral salts of fresh vegetables remains almost unchanged, but:
- The shakes contain any fruit or vegetables, fiber – although largely disintegrate – sugars, the liquid, the residual presence of vitamins and unfortunately much of the entrained air in the course of the preparation;
- the centrifuged contain less fiber than the previous ones, but more vitamins, sugars, liquid and less air;
- The extracts do not contain fiber, but almost all vitamins and liquids.
These are healthy drinks that should, however, be consumed differently. When used for weight loss , they should all be included in a low calorie balanced diet or along with womax which is a very quick and natural weight loss remedy that also provides regular physical activity.
