Maybe you have heard that bananas should be avoided if you
are trying to lose some weight. However, this is not true.
Banana is the most desirable fruit while on a diet because
it is full with potassium. Potassium is a compound that eliminates the excess
water in the body. Also, it is capable of boosting the metabolism in
combination with other ingredients that burn fat, like spinach and flax.
One banana can contain up to 450 mg of potassium, depending
on its size. Banana gives a lot of energy because it contains glucose, fructose
and sucrose. Because of its nutrients, banana is excellent in reducing the
feeling of hunger.
So, when you feel hungry grab a banana, instead of eating
unhealthy snacks. The fiber in bananas will boost your metabolism too.
You can use bananas as a base when preparing fat burning
beverages. Combine them with spinach, flaxseed and wild berries to give your
body the nutrients, vitamins and minerals it needs.
Here are some recipes you can try at home:
Banana in Combination with Flaxseed
– 1 banana
– 1 orange
– 2 tablespoons of whey
– 2 tablespoons of flaxseed
Banana in Combination with Forest Fruits
– 1 banana
– 1 cup of cranberries, raspberries or blueberries

Banana in Combination with Spinach
– 1 banana
– 200 grams of fresh spinach
– 1 tablespoon of honey

The preparation of all three recipes is the same. Add all
the ingredients of one recipe in a blender and mix well.
The prepared drink is full of nutrients, so you can consume
it as a breakfast substitute. In addition, this beverage will help you lose
some fat on your belly because of its ingredient’s properties.
Enjoy your healthy drink!
