It seems like the last thing you’d want to do, especially after years of dietary fads which practically glorified low-fat, reduced-fat, or no-fat foods. But, we now know that one of the best ways to lose weight in a healthy way is by incorporating a variety of healthy fats into your diet.
Especially the keto diet in particular which focuses on eating a high-fat, moderate protein and low-carb diet. However, the paleo diet focuses on consuming meat, fish, vegetables and fruits with no dairy, grains or processed food of any kind.
All of these recipes are very delicious, quick and easy! These smoothies can also improve the appearance of your hair, skin and nails if you commit to any of these recipes on a regular basis for a couple of months. Best of all, they’ll give you the energy you’ll need to get through the morning without a cup of coffee (which often leaves you feeling dehydrated). These recipes will help you to stay super healthy, hydrated and feeling refreshed for most of the day.
