iv) Mocha Smoothie:
A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that men experienced an increase in perceived fullness following the consumption of a thick, lower calorie, dairy-based drink than when they sipped a higher-calorie, thinner drink. To increase that feeling of fullness, pour this perky smoothie into a bowl and then garnish with granola for crunch, and for extra hunger-taming fiber.
Ingredients:
· 1/2 cup almond milk
· 1 tbsp peanut butter
· 1 pitted date · 1 scoop chocolate soy protein powder · 1 tbsp cocoa powder · 1 tsp instant coffee powder · 1/2 tsp vanilla extract · 1/4 tsp ground cardamom · 1 small frozen banana, chopped
