So we thought we’d share with you a list of our favorite delicious smoothies that will help you slim down. Never mind those expensive sugary juices and try these 5 tummy-friendly, nutritionist-approved weight loss smoothies.

If you’re into Greek yogurt, then you’re going to love this! Smooth and flavorful, this smoothie offers a chock-full of nutrients. Add some berries and chia seeds and you’ve got a whole treat filled with protein and fiber!

The berries, on the other hand, are rich in antioxidants to protect you from free radicals. Best of all, this Chia-Berry Belly Blaster will banish your cravings and keep you satiated even hours later!

3. Let the seeds to soak in your fridge overnight, but shake the jar or stir the mixture a couple times before going to bed and a couple more times in the morning before you actually make the shake. This allows the seeds to better expand.

Oh, and did we forget to mention it’s so tasty, you’ll enjoy every sip?
