smoothies for weight loss?

i am looking for some homemade smoothie recipes for weight loss. which ones worked for u? any ideas? list ingredients and instructions please. thanks

Smoothies can be high in calories and carbs, both of which will cause weight gain.

I make this in the morning (for nutrition, not weight loss though it is low calorie):

1 banana (sliced, frozen) – potassium
1 cup of fresh orange juice (vitamin C)
1/2 cup of frozen berries (antioxidants)
1/2 cup of sliced, frozen mangoes and/or papaya (beta carotene)

Switch up your fruits and juices if you drink this regularly to maximize your nutrients.

Blend until smooth

    Try better with brand drugs approved by the FDA. Miracle weight loss is possible only to God. This pharmacy has pills for weight loss licensed in USA:

    I'd say just whatever milk you're using in your diet with a banana, perhaps some strawberries and vanilla or flavoured yogurt if you want to thicken it. Add some honey or cinnamon.
