1. First, take a blender jar. To it cut the apple in cubes (can use any variant). It is low in calories with high fiber content, that’s why I mentioned taking an apple for this drink.

2. Next, add 4-5 ice cubes to give a refreshing element in your smoothie. Though this is optional if you don’t want you can skip this step.

3. Add 1-2 tbsp of oats. Oats contain beta-glucan which controls hunger. It also contributes to maintaining cholesterol levels and promotes good heart health. Moreover, oats are rich in fiber, protein, and nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc.

4. Then add 5 almonds to the blender jar. Almonds help to reduce fat, if you don’t have you can add walnuts or peanuts.

5. Add 1 scoop of protein powder to it (any flavor of your choice). This is a very simple way to add more protein to your diet. Protein helps to boost metabolism and reduce hunger. It also helps in weight and fat loss without losing any muscles. Note that you will include protein powder to your smoothie if and only if you do workouts regularly.

6. If you don’t do workouts, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in place of it.

7. For sweetness grounds, add 1 tsp of honey to it. Honey contains vital hormones that help to reduce hunger and weight.

8.  Finally, pour 1 cup of fat-free milk (skim milk) into the jar. If you’re a PCOD or PCOS patient, then use almond milk.

9. Now, blend all of these in the blender until smooth.
