LighterLife smoothes fit into my lifestyle and diet plan really well. Each shake is 228 calories, and I take them four times a day on my two rest days to reach a calorie total of 912. Seeing as I'm mainly working on my computer all day on my rest days, this is an ideal calorie intake to fuel my activities without leaving me feeling tired.
I mix two scoops of the smoothie powder with 250ml of water in a shaker. Each smoothie is high in protein, fibre and has no added sugar - and they taste good, too. LighterLife has chocolate, vanilla and berry flavours. Chocolate is 100% my fave!
In between smoothies, I try to avoid caffeine or any dairy drinks. Instead, I drink water and green tea. I guess this is quite easy for me as I don't really drink coffee, and I only usually drink one or two cups of tea a day - if you're more prone to caffiene and can't go a day without your kick, try weaning yourself off over time, or drinking black coffee without sugar.
I received these smoothies from Superdrug, who very kindly sent them over to me to review. With the addition of my healthy diet and workout routine, I've noticed small changes over the month that I've been drinking them, mainly around my stomach. I'm not as bloated as I was before the New Year, which really makes a difference to my confidence.
Over the next couple of months, I'm hoping to see changes to my thighs and arms too - so I'll keep you updated as I document my progress.
