Can you live by only drinking smoothies for food?

[Anonymous]

I want to begin a smoothies only diet. It may not be life-long, but i hope to maintain this diet for a few years.

You've probably heard of the "Green Smoothie Diet", however, i will be drinking both fruit smoothies and green smoothies. I am well aware of the possibility of not getting enough fat, but in order to counter that i will add peanut butter to my fruit smoothies and avocado to my green smoothies.

Are there any other possible dangers i should be weary of? Or am i good to go?

Go for it! 👍

Not a good idea 👎

Multivitamins, if needed to help full in any gaps.

Make sure there's enough protein or you'll loose muscle mass (assuming you don't want to).

Lastly, make sure you're getting enough calories, don't starve your body.

I don't care much about muscle mass, just losing weight, but i think I'll be getting enough protein from the peanut butter anyways.

I'll have to keep track how many calories are in each ingredient. Thanks, i didn't think of that.

As long as all the required nutrients are in there and you still have other liquids you should be fine but I think it would get boring not eating anything solid after awhile

[Asker]

The only other liquids I'll be drinking is water, milk and possibly other sugar-free dairy product beverages.

I guess you'll be fine then

Sounds fine but will you get enough protein? I know peanut butter has some but will u be eating enough of it?

[Asker]

I'll be eating 4 to 5 small smoothies throughout the day, and peanut butter will be in over half of them.

[Opinion Owner]

well if peanut butter is all your protein you need to have at least 250g per day, like half a jar

Yeah, its gonna be tough. Good thing i like smoothies so much though 😁
