Banana Orange Detox Drink To Help You Lose Belly Fat
Trying to lose belly fat? Try this banana orange detox drink to help you lose belly fat naturally! Now just to be clear, this drink needs to be a part of your weight loss diet menu.
Simply drinking it alone will not help you lose belly fat because to lose weight long-term, you will need to follow a low-calorie diet.
Losing weight and keeping it off is not easy but it can be done in a moderate amount of time. Eating clean, choosing an active lifestyle, and changing your mindset are very important for your weight loss success.
I was able to lose a whole lot of weight just by counting my calories, taking 1 hour walks daily plus adding detox drinks to my diet.
Banana Orange Detox Drink To Help You Lose Belly Fat
Please don’t be fooled by all the fad diets around. I want you to succeed in losing weight and keeping it off that’s why I created this site. Adding vitamin C-rich foods to your diet, working out regularly, and eating enough protein will help you increase your muscle mass and shed those pounds around your belly area faster.
With that being said, this detox smoothie contains protein, fiber, vitamin C, and metabolism-boosting properties along with omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants to help you kickstart the fat-burning process.
However, I recommend you drink this smoothie before or after going to the gym or drink it as a meal replacement shake due to its calorie and fat content.
Ingredients for 1 serving:
- 1 banana (peeled & cut)
- 1 orange (freshly squeezed)
- ½ cup of low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon of organic coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger powder
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon of low-fat vanilla whey powder
- 1/2 cup of water (optional)
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients in a blender. This drink can replace a whole meal (e.g. your breakfast) due to its nutritious content. It should be consumed in the morning as a healthy choice for breakfast and after doing some physical activities such as walking, running, cycling, or after a workout.

How This Detox Drink Work
Banana
Like most fruits, bananas are not a source of fat or protein, just carbohydrates. When compared with other fruits, like berries, bananas are higher in energy, which gives them a bad reputation for not being “good” for weight loss.
However, they are great for reducing hunger and sugar cravings plus they help keep you feeling full longer during the day which leads to eating less and losing weight.
Orange
Oranges help the body to repair damaged tissue and heal itself. Studies show that the high vitamin C content found in oranges can help prevent and control obesity. Vitamin C also helps reduce soreness from workouts and promote glycemic control while increasing the fat-burning process in the body.
Yogurt
Researchers found that obese adults who ate three servings of fat-free yogurt a day as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost 22% more weight and 61% more body fat than those who simply cut calories without increasing their calcium intake. Yogurt eaters also lost 81% more fat in the stomach area than non-yogurt eaters.
Ginger
Some studies suggest that ginger may be beneficial for weight loss. Compounds in ginger have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Since inflammation is also a common contributor to weight gain, you can benefit by adding this amazing root to your smoothies.
Spinach
Spinach can speed up the weight loss process and make it easier for you to shed those extra kilos. It’s rich in insoluble fiber which improves digestion, keeps you regular, helps you feel full longer during the day plus helps in weight loss.
Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are rich in fiber. When you eat foods that are high in fiber, you feel full for longer. Similar to spinach, adding flaxseeds to your diet can increase digestion so go ahead and start adding these miracle seeds to your diet!
Whey Powder
Taking whey protein is a great way to increase your protein intake. Studies have shown that replacing other sources of calories with whey protein, combined with weight lifting, can speed up weight loss of about 8 pounds (3.5 kg) while increasing lean muscle mass.
