My top 3 weight-loss protein smoothies (perfect for MEAL PREP)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 кві 2024
- These are some of my favorite protein smoothies! When I was trying to lose weight, I found that adding more high-protein ingredients to my smoothies kept me fuller for much longer between my meals. Previously, my smoothies were mostly just sugar, and I was always hungry within an hour of breakfast. Adding protein to my smoothies was also a really easy way to get more protein in my day!
These smoothies are lower in calories but won't leave you feeling hungry, as they're balanced with all the food groups and are high in protein. They're also dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan!
I like to meal prep them because they keep really well in the fridge for 5-7 days, so I just make big batches of them to save time throughout the week.
All the recipes are here on my blog (with calorie info): liezljayne.com/my-top-3-weigh...
Hope you enjoy!

You are such a great help, these are wonderful.
Made the pink one today! So excited for breakfast tomorrow 😊
Omg amazing!!! Thank you for this!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW that’s a lot of smoothies. They all sound scrumptious!!
I can't thank you enough for this 💜💜💜Adding ingredients to my online grocery cart now! 🤗🤗🤗
I’ve been following you for years. Your videos and recipes added a healthy, fun dimension to my meals and to my life!
I always see your comments Linda! Thank you ❤
I can relate so much to your story. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are definitely an inspiration. I loved the transparency on the struggles and how you were able to overcome them.
Tks Liezl. Great video ❤
Refreshing, tasty & healthy! 😇
I’ve been watching you for years and I never get tired of your videos, I love what you do, the way you do your videos and how informative they are and all the love you pour into them. I just love you !!!!!!
Thank you so much ❤
😊😊 those smoothies look delicious
Delicious smoothies!!😀
Ummm - can’t wait to try that pink one💓
Thanks!!
Our girl! Always coming through with the amazing HEALTHY recipes! Thanks for taking the time to educate us and give us wonderful delicious recipes over the years! Thank you so much! ✨✨
Thank you Liezl for sharing those delicious smoothie recipes ♥️
I'm grateful I found your channel!
SO YUM... helpful hint : drop the closed / sealed bag of ice on the floor or hard surface before opening hehe that's what I do 😁
That’s a good idea I’ll try it haha
Awesome video, thanks so much🙌🌹 btw your hair looks amazing, please share your hair care tips for growth🙏
Thank you! Well just quickly I would say these are some things i have done very consistently over the past years.. I only wash my hair once a week and i massage my scalp with a scalp massage brush to stimulate hair growth when i wash it. I only use heat on my hair once a week usually (which means I do end up wearing my hair in a ponytail a lot so i don't have to apply more heat). And I don't bleach or dye my hair excessively - I used to add some highlights every year or 2.. but now I have let my natural hair just grow out. But I do think it's partially genetics too - my dad had really long beautiful hair when he was younger and i think i got it from him!
Thanks for sharing. I can't afford to pay for things cause of disability income to get healthy food; but I'd love to know your program for meal prepping for weightloss as I have 100 lbs to lose while getting healthy (I'm down 48 now but plateaued). All while giving God all the glory! Thank you for all you do! ❤❤❤❤❤ watching you on UA-cam!
seriously enjoying the coffee smoothie right now...wow love it. Being a vegan and trying to loose the last 15pds...difficult..I know Im not getting enough protein so I have to up it all...wonderful..oh Im a newbie to the channel and now video binging..then buying the meal plans..yumm
Love love the jars 🫙 & you freeze them? Where can I get them in glass & can freeze them?
Those smoothies look absolutely delicious 😋. I need to get some vegan protein powder - only have whey at the minute. I’ll use it up first then I’ll find a vegan one. Xxx
Hi Leizel..love u love u love u!
Just wanted to ask if we can substitute flax seeds for the hemp seeds. Thanks.
Oh my gosh, i love your accent. My husband and i had some south african friends from Joberg and i just loved hearing them talk. But they knew when they talked in Afrikaans it got on my nerves cause i couldnt understand them.😂
My daughter lives in Joberg . Her husband is Afrikaans, and I often have trouble understanding him when we FaceTime. I do love the accent!
I wondered what the accent was, it’s like is it an English one or what lol she says mulk instead of milk and I’ve never heard of anyone pronounce it like that.
Thanks for the informative video. I'll be a regular viewer!
What brand of instant coffee do you use?
Is there a way to substitute all the protein powder? Peanut butter, more yogurt, what not?
hi liezl l made your smoothie on the weekend they are amazing my only question is can u plz tell me what a quarter cup is example 1/4 can u plz tell me what your measuring cup size is thank u
Love the recipes!!.. Do you keep the smoothies in the freezer or just the fridge?
I always wonder about the storage and serving after storage.
I've been following your videos for years and I have personally started meal prep myself. For my husband, I find it difficult as he needs a 2200 cal diet. Can you make a video on the 2200 calorie meal plan?
Do you have these smoothies for each meal as a meal replacement?
Thanks for a great video, Liezl! May I ask what brand of vegan protein powder you use?

Please do a skin hair care routine and morning evening night routines.
will keep in mind for future videos :)
@@LiezlJayne 😊
For the males out there in general Chia Seeds and Almonds/Almond Milk is going to be great and better for you and help keeping health levels of testosterone and prostate.
You are a treasure!!
Hi Liezl where can we get those wonderful jars?
Hi Liazl, could you make few videos about what you eat in a day?? I will be very grateful 😊
Will keep that in mind for my future videos! :)
Instead of dates what can I use?? Can I substitute flaxseed for hemp seed? Im.loving your food...I made the soymilk vanilla coffe and its sooooo good ...thank you sooo much and God bless you
Which protein did you use? I been struggling to one a vanilla that goes well with smoothies thank you :)
you are amazing👍🌹
A trip on cleaning the blender: Add a bit of dish soap to the dirty blender, fill half way with warm water, then return to the base & blend away. That way the blender cleans itself! Rinse & get any parts the blender missed, then its clean!
Love the idea of batch prepping smoothies but do they last 4 days in the fridge? Xx
Yes up to 7 days in the fridge in airtight containers!
Sip into Shape!
Will these keep well even with the ice? Melting doesn't make it runny?
On your Coffee Date Smoothie, I don't like coffee. Is it possible to use a substitute for coffee? Can't wait to make the Pink and Green smoothies.
You can just leave out the coffee powder - it's a variation of the coffee date smoothie i often make. I call it my date, oat & almond smoothie - it's delicious with or without the coffee.. and it tastes like a completely different smoothie!
@@LiezlJayne Thank you.
Do you find that the smoothies with the dates in them get ferment-y if you don’t drink them right away?
May I ask, What’s the point of the ice? Is it for texture? 😊
What kind of liquid sweetener do you use?
I used maple syrup but any kind of liquid sweetener/ syrup should work as well! :)
What vegetable proteins are you using and where can I buy it?
Can I use the green smoothie for my lunch every day and also do I drink the whole jar?
Yes you can have it for lunch, and yes the whole jar - so one serving for a meal!
@@LiezlJayne thank you! I am onto my healthy journey with your smoothie recipes💕
What brand of protein powder do you use?
Garden of life raw vanilla protein powder: www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Packaging-Certified-Probiotics/dp/B007SYT7LO/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=liezljayne-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=b069899b0f89ad8915473fbb0f3f629a&camp=1789&creative=9325
I’ve never thought of making smoothies ahead of time. How is the texture eating them throughout the week?
The texture of these ones hold up really well for the week. It really depends on what ingredients you use for a smoothie - that will make it keep well or not, and that will make the texture last well or not. Theses ones keep really well for up to 7 days!
Been looking for a way to do what your doing but i didn’t know if they last that long
🤣🤣🤣you can be so funny...Omg😂❤
Can you link the protein you use
Yes! Here's the link from my description box: www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Packaging-Certified-Probiotics/dp/B007SYT7LO/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=liezljayne-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=b069899b0f89ad8915473fbb0f3f629a&camp=1789&creative=9325
Hi, I made your tropical smoothie yesterday and put all 4 containers in the fridge. Today when I went to have one for dinner it was watered down and didn’t taste the same. Did I do anything wrong? I followed the instructions correctly.
Maybe don't add the ice? I never add ice cause it dulillutes the flavor tbh
How long can we store the smoothies?
she said about a week
5-7 days.. I've never had a problem with keeping them 7 days in the fridge! But I alway store them in airtight jars, that's quite important for making sure they keep well :)
How long can you leave it on the refrigerator???
Is this a meal replacement for breakfast or a snack?
Yes either breakfast or a snack!
What blender are you using ?
I just think it’s funny that all the smoothie videos on UA-cam have some kind of sweeter even with frozen berries. How hooked are we on the taste of sugar even in diet smoothies… I also know that honey to the body is just another form of sugar. blows my mind. Heading for bed to drop the sugar or the sugar substitute.!
Where can I buy chia seeds/hemp seeds
I feel like I must be missing some context.. but won’t the smoothie separate once you set it in the fridge? Or are you supposed to reblend it with ice when you want to drink it?
All my smoothies eventually separate when they have the chance to sit.
So these can last a week in the fridge?
I miss you ❤❤❤😊
I make pancakes with spinach in them .. tell my kids they are hulk pancakes .. they love them lol my son knows they have spinach now and asks me to make them
May i ask why ice? If its in fridge for a week?
Do you freeze the smoothies? Are you able to meal prep the smoothies for a month
I wonder can you eat these for breakfast - without anything else
I did the berry smoothie for a single serving .. and it came out as way more then a single serving 😩
molk?
It's her accent, honey.
You are very pretty with a delightful accent. Have you done any detox smoothies.
Thanks! I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for in a detox smoothie. But I prefer to just eat wholesome foods and meals regularly like this instead of doing a detox.
I know English isn't your first language, but it's funny how you say ..milk. In my mind, I'm thinking, "Why would you add mold"
please adjust your audio. It's too close to you.. I can literally hear you breathe and lip sounds... which is off-putting and feels like some sort of ear-rape.... I can't watch anymore, just feedback before I switch channels. (add bass and mid-levels... cut the highs.)
