Green smoothie
Smoothies are a satisfying way to sneak in an extra serving of veggies, making it a great snack for weight loss. “I like a 50/50 combo of veggies and fruit with a protein add-in and a fiber-add-in,” Pflugradt says. Think a handful each of baby spinach and frozen mango with 3/4-cup low-fat milk and 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds, or a handful each of kale and frozen berries with 3/4-cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 tbsp almond butter.

Savory Greek yogurt
Swap your usual fruit or granola add-in for roasted, salted pumpkin seeds, chopped olives, or sliced cherry tomatoes, Pflugradt recommends. You’ll still get around 23 g of appetite-squashing protein per cup of yogurt. Not to mention a shot of probiotics, which could help you shed up to 4% of your body fat in just six weeks, research suggests. Find our list of the best yogurt brands here.
