Are banana milkshakes ok for weightloss?

[Anonymous]

I'm on 2 weeks annual leave & I want to get my exercise back on track.

I'm going to walk 10k steps plus a 15 min HIIT workout. Monday - Friday.

I eat plain porridge for breakfast & I usually make a sandwhich but was going to make a banana or frozen Strawberry smoothie instead. Also not eat in between meals.

Is a banana or frozen Strawberry smoothie ok for lunch? It's also quicker to make.

Thank you

Banana has a high glycaemic index so it will lead to sugar spikes in your blood followed by low sugar levels causing you to feel hungry quickly especially if you're also doing HIIT. I don't recommend banana milkshakes for weight loss. Try protein and fibre rich smoothies instead. They will help you feel fuller for a longer time.

No as they are full of sugar. No fruit if you are serious. No snack aisle, frozen food, or beer aisle for 4 months... you'll be ready for Thanksgiving gluttony ;-)
