🥤 The Perfect Protein + Fiber Smoothie to Support GLP-1 Weight Loss

🧬 Why Protein + Fiber Are So Important on GLP-1s

• Protein helps maintain lean muscle, reduces nausea, and supports fullness
• Fiber improves digestion, balances blood sugar, and prevents constipation (a common GLP-1 side effect)
• The combo helps prevent post-meal crashes and keeps energy steady — especially on lower-calorie days

🥣 How to Build the Perfect Smoothie

✅ 1. Choose Your Protein Base

Pick one high-quality protein source to help fuel your day.

• Greek yogurt
• Whey or plant-based protein powder
• Silken tofu
• Cottage cheese

✅ 2. Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Fiber slows digestion and supports your gut — critical when your appetite is lower than normal.

• Chia seeds
• Ground flax
• Rolled oats
• Avocado
• Frozen cauliflower rice

✅ 3. Toss in Nutrient-Packed Produce

Low-glycemic fruits and veggies are best — they give you flavor and antioxidants without spiking blood sugar.

• Frozen berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
• Leafy greens (spinach, kale)
• Zucchini
• Cucumber

✅ 4. Add Healthy Fats (But Don’t Overdo It)

Healthy fats promote fullness and nutrient absorption — but GLP-1 users may need just a small dose.

• Nut butter (1 tbsp max)
• Avocado (¼ to ½)
• Chia or flax again doubles as fat + fiber

✅ 5. Blend with a Light Liquid

Stick with low-sugar bases to keep calories and blood sugar in check.

• Unsweetened almond milk
• Coconut water
• Water + a splash of citrus
• Herbal iced tea
