Many people who are on a losing weight journey prefer drinks and smoothies but don't know what to drink or use.

Sometimes when you are trying to lose weight you find yourself gaining instead of losing from the fact that you are on a diet, you are working out and even avoiding foods with high cholesterol.

This can be caused by what you drink, foods are not only the ones that cause weight gain, even liquids can.

Don't stress too much about searching for what to take when on a diet or a weight loss journey, I am here to make your work easier.

Here are the drinks that you need especially in the morning;

1. Protein Smoothies

Protein Smoothies are definitely the go-to drinks in the morning because they make you feel full and will prevent you from taking more meals during the day.

They can also keep you energized during the day.

To prepare this smoothie, blend Greek yogurt, spinach, berries of your choice, and a spoon or scoop of protein powder.

This combo might not be as tasty as you expect but it is definitely good for you.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

This concoction helps to control appetite, balance your blood sugar, and keep you full during the day.

Mix a tablespoon of able cider vinegar plus water and add a touch of honey to drink it as a morning tonic. The honey is a choice.

This concoction is sour but it is an aid for weight loss.

3. Ginger and Turmeric Tea

Ginger and Turmeric tea help control food cravings that may result in weight gain.

The two have thermogenic properties that revive your metabolism, aid digestion, and fasten the burning of calories.

Just boil ginger and turmeric to make a warm infusion and drink it, but if it tastes awful to you, you can add a touch of honey.

You can also blend the two and take them as shots.

4. Green Tea

This particular tea is known for fat-burning and also has caffeine that keeps you alert.

It is packed with antioxidants and metabolism that boosts catechins in your body.

All you have to do is drink a cup of green tea and you are good to go.

5. Lemon Juice

Lemon is a low-calorie fruit that aids digestion, boosts metabolism, and provides vitamin C which is needed in the body.

You can have a glass of warm water infused with fresh lemon juice or drink the juice alone.

This seems like a simple method but it makes a huge change in your body. It also helps to detoxify your body.

6. Cinnamon Coffee

This is especially those who can't go without coffee. All you need to do is add a pitch of cinnamon to your coffee.

That pitch of cinnamon helps you regulate your blood sugar and also reduces cravings.

Another advantage is that you don't need to add more sugar in your coffee if you have cinnamon in it.
