Smoothies are drinks made from pureed raw fruit and/or vegetables, typically using a blender. A smoothie often has a liquid base such as water, fruit juice, plant milk, and sometimes, dairy products
Some smoothies, especially the ones you make at home from whole fruits and vegetables, are high in vitamins, minerals, and many other beneficial nutrients. Usually, people watching their weight opt for smoothies but complain that it does not leave them full.
Adding these foods below to your smoothie will leave you satisfied and full and end carvings that may result in weight gain.
Greek Yogurt or Milk
Adding Greek yogurt or milk to a smoothie is a good way to bump up the protein, which helps you feel full for longer. It also makes smoothies thicker and creamier and generally more satisfying.
Flaxseed, chia, or nut butter
Adding some healthy fat will not only help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, but it also contributes to feelings of fullness. Ground flaxseed, chia, and peanut butter or almond butter are all great choices.

Greens
Leafy greens are loaded with nutrients and also contain fiber. A smoothie that’s high in fiber (about 5 grams or more) will help slow digestion and keep you feeling full.
Whole Grains
It sounds strange, but try blending oats into your next smoothie. You’ll get a thicker, more textured, and nutrient-packed beverage that will keep your tummy from rumbling all morning.
Fruit, but especially raspberries
Fruits are not just an excellent way to eat your vitamins and antioxidants, it also provides a lot of fiber. Raspberries, in particular, contain about 8 grams of fiber in one cup. Remember, the combination of protein, fiber, and a little bit of fat is a winning combo for staying full.
