I never heard of that before, when I was younger I was overweight to, not by a few pounds but by 30 or more pounds. Losing weight is more then just eating smoothies. Its a life style, eating healthier and moving more will help lose the baby fat. When you cook use low fat milk or skim. Try not to eat lots of fast food. and if she drinks soft drinks try to cut down to one a day or no soft drinks at all. Sorry if that wasn't any help....

The only thing that I can think of are the protein shake type of thing. I drink the powder mix made by curves and I will use ice and water instead of milk, then mix my favorite fruit. I'm not sure if this is what he ment but it's very yummy! Perhaps you should just put a phone call into him and see if he can be clearer in what he means by smoothie. Good luck!

I buy fruit drinks called "Smoothies" in the fruit section of the grocery store. They are just pureed fruit and they are sooooooo good! Kind of expensive though. Maybe you could make your own by putting fruit in the blender. I've been wanting to try that instead of buying them. The brand names of the ones I buy are called "Naked Fruit Juice Smoothies", which are my favorite, and "Bolthouse Farms" makes the other one.
