Summer is here and there’s no better time to kick your weight loss goals into high gear with the HCG Diet Plan than now. In this blog, we’re going to share one of our favorite smoothie recipes to cool you down on a hot day while sticking to the meal plan of your choice.

• 2 cups/handfuls of spinach
• 2 cups/handfuls of kale
• 1 green apple
• 1 cucumber
• 1 sprinkle of cinnamon
• 1 tsp fresh ginger
• 2 cups ice
• 2 cups water
• *add a splash of lemon for a tangier smoothie or a sprinkle of stevia for a sweeter flavor.

When using a high-powered blender, like a Vitamix or Ninja, you can toss all of the ingredients in whole. If you are using a normal blender or you aren’t sure about its power, remove the apple core and any hard stalk pieces of the kale before blending. Mix on high until combined. Enjoy!

This recipe makes about 4 servings that will stay good for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. If you have any single serving glass bottles leftover from kombucha or ice tea, these make convenient storage vessels for an on-the-go snack.

How Much Can I Lose with HCG?

By pairing HCG drops with the HCG diet plan, it’s not unheard of to lose 1 or even 2 pounds per day. Of course, the amount of weight that you lose will depend on several factors, including your starting weight and how well you stick to the diet plan.

Here’s the thing: HCG isn’t a miracle. It’s a naturally occurring human hormone that simply makes it easier to lose weight. It starts by naturally curbing your excess hunger, making it possible to sustain a caloric restriction for an extended period of time. But that’s not all – HCG also works to protect your muscle mass during the weight loss process.
