A smoothie for weight loss with carrots as protagonists: with the right amount of carbohydrates and a high fiber content, raw carrots are perfect for those on a weight loss diet. They are rich in beta-carotene, for this reason it is good to associate them with a little fat to help their assimilation: when raw, they promote digestion and intestinal transit thanks to the insoluble fibers, and are a natural stress reliever, because they reduce excess estrogen. In stressed people they promote weight loss, for those suffering from swollen stomachs and constipation they are an incredible cure-all.

Here I propose a recipe for a smoothie for weight loss that I have chosen especially for you: it combines the beneficial action of raw carrots on the intestinal tract ( source ) with the slimming action of grapefruit ( source ).

The ideal would be to drink it for breakfast, instead of your traditional breakfast, perhaps accompanying it with a whole Greek yogurt.
Not only does it have incredible benefits for weight loss and intestinal regularity, but it is a vitamin panacea: in addition to beta-carotene which is a vitamin A provitamin, it provides vitamin C and vitamin E.

CARROTS AND GRAPEFRUIT SMOOTHIE
Kcal 230
A pink grapefruit (200 gr)
5-6 almonds (15 gr)
a teaspoon of chia seeds (5 gr)
3 medium carrots (210 gr) 
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
a piece of fresh ginger
stevia for sweetening (optional)
1/2 cup of water (150 ml)
3-4 ice cubes (optional)

As an alternative to pink grapefruit: 200 ml of sugar-free grapefruit juice or a 150 g orange (recommended option). In the case of grapefruit juice, decrease the amount of water to 100 ml. Blend all the ingredients starting with almonds and carrots, then add ginger, grapefruit, chia seeds and water, and let the mixture rest for ten minutes before drinking. The chia seeds will give the mixture an almost creamy texture.
