      Low Carb Meals Introduction

      Low Carb Meals, Smoothies, and Super Foods that Hit the Spot

      Get a head start on your new way of life with easy to make low carb meals and smoothies that are incredibly easy to make, delicious and great for your health. This book will present, not only recipes that are unique and tasty, but include many of the Super foods that you hear so much about. Smoothies are all the rage and using the right ingredients, can give you texture, flavor, vitamins and enough fiber to balance your system, while shedding pounds.

      The Perfect Smoothie

      The first half of this cookbook is dedicated to teaching you how smoothies are made with only those fruits and vegetables that are beneficial on a low carb diet. Part of staying on a low carb diet is not feeling hungry or cheated out of good tasting foods. By learning how to use proper measurements, foods that are high in vitamins, and low in sugar, starch and fat, you will not make a mistake in grabbing a wrong item. One of the most important parts of starting a low carb diet is exercise and drinking plenty of fluids. Smoothies are a great way to keep your body hydrated, your stomach happy, and filled with vitamins and minerals.

      Ingredients, such as tofu, yogurt, flax seed, and honey, give you insight into how texture and sweetness is easily accomplished. Mixtures of bananas, strawberries, cantaloupe, blackberries, watermelon, and oranges, can deliver flavor, when mixed in the right manner. These recipes have been tried and proven to provide the best taste with natural fruits, unlike artificial flavors that are contained in many fruit juices. The same holds true for vegetable, or green smoothies, with specific blends of Super foods, herbs and spices.

      Why Low Carb?

      A low carbohydrate diet is not just for losing weight, as outlined by many leading physicians. Too much sugar can lead to diabetes and too much fat can cause clogged arteries. There are many books on the subject of low carb diets and trends on the latest and greatest low carb diet to use. However, it almost takes a scientist to understand the way that certain carbohydrates operate within the human body. Counting carbs is too much like work and still, you are never 100% guaranteed that you are counting the correct types of carbs. By following the simple menus outlined in this book, you can rest assured that every ingredient, every portion, and every carb, has been scrutinized and evaluated by experts. In the end, you just want something that tastes good, helps you lose unwanted weight, and works with your body to provide the best vitamins and minerals possible.

      This is why, in the mid-section of this book, there is a 5-day planner, to use as an outline for getting started. Take a look at the types of meals that are prepared, the ingredients used, then mix and match from the recipes, to form your own daily menus. The smoothies are all measured to make one serving and the meals are designated as to how many servings there will be. It will require much less work than counting carbs, wondering if certain foods are on 'the list' and knowing that you are getting the perfect balance of vitamins and minerals for what you wish to achieve.

      Super Foods for Dinner

      Section two will introduce you to the meats, poultry and fish that can be enjoyed on a low carb diet, while blending in super foods that are heart-healthy and protein-packed. Any diet that uses the same ingredients over and over again, can get boring in a hurry. Once you have tried a couple of these meals that include salmon with zesty lemon sauce, Moroccan styled chicken, or cheese and walnut stuffed onions, you will find yourself adding and seasoning different ways to serve. If you have never had baked beets, simmered in white wine and béchamel sauce, hold on to your hat. It will become a favorite side dish. Interesting side dishes, like this, plus appetizers, soups and salads, will surprise not only your family, but guests, as well. The ideas are here, fantastic flavor that you never imagined, and the right ingredients to keep all meals low carb.

      Healthy Treats and Desserts

      Whoever came up with the idea that sweets were not allowed while dieting, has obviously never experienced a low carb diet. Refined sugar can be hard on your body, so replace them with something just as compatible and workable. Dark Chocolate Cake and Blueberry, Chocolate and Walnut Parfait, will make you ask, what diet? By learning how to blend the right combination of low carb ingredients, you will never feel deprived of luscious desserts.

      Treats made from honey, granola and fresh fruit will always be sweet, tart, crunchy and very special. Get your kids hooked on new snacks and watch them disappear. Muffins, bars and roasted nuts, make a filling, nutritional after-school snack, or for your quiet time, reading a good novel.

      The introduction to great smoothies, planned meals and super foods that deliver what your body craves, will give you a new attitude about what dieting is all about. A low carb diet should not be painful, but a new way of life. By learning how to prepare good, healthy foods, without depriving yourself, this diet can become a way of life for you. Look better, feel better, and before long, you will know what foods are good for your body, because it will remind you. Don't forget to include exercise in your new regime for life to keep fit and trim. After a few weeks of eating right and exercise, you will notice that outdoor activities will be much more enjoyable than sitting on the couch. Enjoy your new food discoveries and your new way of life and don't be afraid to experiment with awesome super foods.

      Section 1: Smoothie Diet Cookbook

      Smoothies are a delicious way of enjoying nature's best in fruits and vegetables. They are a great way to eat a meal in a glass, offering a fast and easy means to preparing and eating. Many people today do not get enough proper nutrition due to busy lifestyles and fast convenient foods are their mainstay. A smoothie offers a fast and convenient way to consume fresh fruits and vegetables without the added preservatives and processed sugars. Even if a person does not like the taste of vegetables, the smoothie will be covered by the flavor of the added fruit, making it easy and pleasant to consume the food.

      A smoothie is a drink created from fresh fruits and vegetables with a liquid, from either water or diary or something similar. Other flavors and textures can be added if desired and it helps to make the smoothie a complete meal to add proteins.
