14 Worst Foods for Belly Fat
13. Store-bought smoothies
Smoothies are supposed to be a healthier alternative to soft drinks, right?
That’s what they are supposed to be, and some are advertised that way.
However, when you eat a smoothie, you are probably increasing your chances of keeping or developing extensive belly fat.
It is true that smoothies contain fruit juice and pureed fruit, and these are normally good things.
A piece of fruit or a glass of juice makes a great snack. Unfortunately, smoothies have lots of other ingredients, and some of them are not so wholesome.
Store-bought smoothies tend to clock in at around 350 calories each, and often contain gram after gram of added sugar. Even worse, the fruit may be from concentrate rather than fresh, removing many nutritional benefits.
Make Your Own Smoothie Every Day – Choose the Best Blender
Some smoothies even promote a flabby belly by including ice cream containing fat and sugar. The situation can be improved by making your own fruit drinks. That way, you know your fruit is fresh instead of concentrate, and you can limit the amount of sugar added.
Leave out the ice cream! Your taste buds may miss it, but your belly will thank you.
