The New Year Intermittent Fasting Challenge starts on MONDAY, January 2nd!! Today, I'm sharing with you a brand new smoothie recipe that you can use throughout the Challenge ~ all that protein, fat and fiber goodness to help you achieve your weight loss and wellness goals.
Pssst - haven't already joined the New Year Intermittent Fasting Challenge? Grab the details HERE!
Today's Raspberry Lemon Zest Smoothie is loaded with flavor and packs in a whopping 25 grams of fiber from whole food sources. That's more than what most people eat in a day. I developed this smoothie to use natural sources of fiber (no fiber supplements here!). Basil seeds have double the fiber of chia seeds and raspberries come in at 8 grams of fiber per cup. Using cacao nibs as the topping adds a whopping 4.5 grams of fiber to this meal.
The huge boost of fiber is an excellent resource to support phase 3 liver detox ~ which can be quite useful after the holiday sugary indulgences!
Because the fiber content is so high, this smoothie is a bit thicker than my usual recipes. So if you like it on the thinner side, try adding an extra few ounces of liquid.
