Coralyn Keats had tried almost every weight-loss trend at least once. Shakes, detoxes, low-carb this, low-fat that. But none of them stuck—until she found a rhythm with smoothies. “It wasn’t about losing weight fast,” she says. “It was about feeling light and nourished at the same time.”
At first, she relied on store-bought smoothie blends, but many were loaded with added sugar—even the ones labeled “healthy.” So she took matters into her own hands. “I wanted to make smoothies that worked for my body, not against it,” she explains.
She focused on whole, simple ingredients—frozen berries, avocado, spinach, unsweetened almond milk, and sometimes just half a banana for gentle sweetness. At first, the taste was less punchy than what she was used to, but it grew on her. “My palate changed,” Coralyn says. “And my energy soared.”
The weight didn’t fall off overnight—but the consistency paid off. Her digestion improved, her cravings reduced, and she started waking up genuinely excited for breakfast. More than that, smoothies became part of her self-care routine—a daily anchor in her otherwise busy, unpredictable life.
“Now it’s not about sugar or calories,” she says. “It’s about starting the day with something that feels like it’s working with me, not against me.”
