Before answering this question, I must share about the types, common ingredients and **what are smoothies** basically?

A basic smoothie is simply a base and liquid - you can mix and match ingredients to your heart's content. To give the finished product the frosty smoothness of a milkshake, many smoothies contain frozen vegetables or ice cubes. However, depending on the components, their flavor profiles differ drastically.

**Types of smoothies **
Most smoothies can be grouped into one or both of the following categories, but there is a lot of overlap:

* **Fruit smoothies**
This flavor of smoothie generally has one or more varieties of fruit mixed with fruit juice, water, milk, or ice cream, as the name indicates.

* **Green smoothies**
Leafy green vegetables and fruit are combined with water, juice, or milk to make green smoothies. They're usually higher in vegetables than conventional smoothies, with a little fruit added for sweetness.

* **Protein smoothies**

>Now I come to answer the actual question:* ****Do smoothies help you lose weight?***

Smoothies are widely promoted as a means of losing weight. They may be useful for this goal, according to research, ***as long as they don't cause you to surpass your daily calorie demands.***

While some individuals find smoothies to be a convenient method to keep track of their meal amounts and achieve their weight reduction goals, others may not feel as satisfied when they drink rather than eat their calories.

Several modest studies show, however, that smoothies used as meal replacements can be just as full as solid foods, and that drinking calories rather than digesting them doesn't always lead to overeating later when solid foods are ingested.

>***The Verdict***
Yes, smoothies are one of the puzzle pieces, though very important one, to weight loss in an organic way. You should consider smoothies to fill your need nutrients and must not rely on medication as much as possible.
