We know that fat burners, or thermogenics, are so fashionable, especially in summer : people rely on natural and non-natural supplements, often buying them online, without knowing what they are getting into by taking them. One of the most well-known side effects of fat burners is potential liver toxicity , often because the mix of substances intoxicates the liver: moreover, arrhythmia, insomnia, increased stress are not uncommon. There are milder but effective ways to stimulate metabolism with nerve foods, without overdoing it.

Today I am describing to you the recipe for a fat-burning smoothie based on nerve and thermogenic foods , which however has a milder action and is also rich in natural antioxidants. In short, a healthy product that allows us to burn more and feel energetic at the same time. This fat-burning smoothie combines the action of bitter chocolate with green tea: a combination that may seem strange to you, but it is winning and excellent in flavor. It is also perfect as a substitute for breakfast or as a healthy snack in the mid-afternoon (no later than 5! Tea, even if less than coffee, still causes insomnia). Calories are 120 per serving per glass. Ideal even before exercising, it is an excellent pre-workout snack.

GREEN TEA AND CHOCOLATE FAT BURNER SMOOTH
For one serving
1 120 ml cup of green tea (concentrated, from a sachet)
12 gr of bitter cocoa
sweetener to taste
a handful of fresh mint leaves
100 gr of natural skimmed Greek yogurt (like Fage 0%)
40 g of blueberries or 30 g of red-skinned grapes without seeds
xanthan gum a tip of a teaspoon (optional, as a thickener)

After making the tea and letting it cool, blend all the ingredients in a blender and drink your smoothie immediately. This fat-burning smoothie is rich in antioxidants: those of cocoa and green tea, but also the anthocyanins found in blueberries and grapes. It provides 13.6 grams of protein for just 120 calories, and is low in sugar. The effect of fresh mint is to stimulate the metabolism and deflate the belly.
