11 Jugos y licuados que te quitan la ansiedad y te ayudan a bajar de peso
There is a reason everybody keeps talking about juices and smoothies. They are a wonderful way to eat raw fruits and vegetables, they help you feel full, they give you energy, and they can support weight loss. That is exactly what this collection of 11 drinks is about.
In my grandmother’s house, soda was forbidden. Drinking a natural juice at breakfast, lunch, and dinner was mandatory, and nobody dared to argue. She sweetened everything with sugar, because that is how it was done back then.
The modern approach is much friendlier to your waistline: sweeten with honey, use a zero calorie artificial sweetener, or simply drink them natural with no sweetener at all.
One honest piece of advice before you blend your first one. If you do not fall in love with a drink on the first try, give your palate time to adjust. Keep the main goal in sight, which is losing weight and staying healthy. A green smoothie that tastes odd on Monday can become your favorite thing by Friday.
Try every drink two or three times before you decide. The palate learns, and it learns fast.
None of these drinks is a magic potion. They are a simple, affordable, everyday habit, and that is exactly why they work for so many people. Some of them replace a meal, others calm a craving in the middle of the afternoon, and a few are simply delicious and happen to be good for you.
Here is the whole lineup at a glance, so you can pick your starting point:
| Drink | Main ingredients | Good moment to drink it |
|---|---|---|
| Guava juice | Ripe guava, water, optional honey | After a long walk |
| Avocado and papaya smoothie | Avocado, papaya | Breakfast or lunch |
| Orange juice | Freshly squeezed oranges | First thing in the morning |
| Nopal, pineapple, celery and parsley | Nopal, pineapple, celery, parsley | Morning, as a green start |
| Avocado and blueberry smoothie | Avocado, blueberries or blackberries, skim milk | Breakfast or lunch |
| Grapefruit and watermelon juice | Grapefruit, watermelon | On an empty stomach |
| Cashew butter shake | Cashew nuts | When your belly feels heavy |
| Mint and lemon shake | Mint, lemon | Any hot afternoon |
| Mango and blueberry smoothie | Mango, blueberries | Breakfast |
| Blueberry smoothie | Blueberries | Whenever you need it |
| Banana, oat and chia smoothie | Banana, oats, chia | Breakfast or dinner |
You do not need fancy equipment either. A blender, a colander, a knife, and a glass with ice will get you through almost every recipe on this list.

El jugo de guayaba es delicioso y tiene buenos nutrientes.
Guava juice is a classic, and it tastes like childhood in a glass. The trick is simple: the riper the guava, the better the juice. A soft, fragrant guava gives you sweetness for free.
Here is how the original recipe goes:
- Peel the fruit, which is optional, and drop it in the blender.
- Blend with a little water and, if you like, honey or an artificial sweetener.
- Pour the mixture through a colander to remove the seeds.
- Serve in a glass with ice.
Guava is rich in potassium and it delivers incredible energy. The author of the original roundup likes to drink it after exhausting walks, and I understand why. It is refreshing without feeling heavy. If you are watching your sugar, skip the sweetener entirely and let the ripe fruit do the talking.
El licuado de aguate y papaya es una combinación de ensueño.
Avocado in a smoothie sounds strange until you actually try it. Combine avocado with another fruit and you get a rich, creamy drink that fills you up with energy. That is exactly what happens when avocado meets papaya.
Avocado is rich in omega 3 and it works as an excellent antioxidant, which is why so many people add it to their morning blends. The full recipe for this one lives inside a link in the original article, so if you want exact amounts and proportions, that is where to look.
This smoothie is a perfect substitute for breakfast or lunch when you are on a diet. It is thick enough to feel like a meal, sweet enough to feel like a treat, and it comes together in minutes. On busy mornings, that combination is hard to beat.
El jugo de naranja es el ideal para una buena dósis de vitamina C.
Nothing beats freshly squeezed orange juice to start the day. It is the easiest way to get a good dose of vitamin C, and according to the original article, it also helps delay breakfast a little, which is handy when you are trying to stretch your morning.
One small problem: citrus acidity does not sit well with every stomach. If that is your case, do not give up on orange juice. Blend the juice with a few chunks of ripe papaya in the blender and you get a delicious, gentler drink. No sweetener needed, not even a spoonful.
My own habit: I squeeze the oranges while the coffee is brewing. Two minutes, almost no mess, and the whole kitchen smells like a Sunday morning.
El liicuado de nopal, piña, apio y perejil es de lo más conocidos.
This is the green smoothie everybody means when they say green smoothie. Nopal, celery, pineapple, and parsley go into the blender together, and the result is what the original article calls pure health.
- Blend all the ingredients in the blender with a little water.
- If you like, add honey or a calorie free sweetener.
- Serve it cold and drink it slowly.
The pineapple does the heavy lifting on flavor, which is why this combination works even for people who usually avoid green drinks. Nopal brings its own character, celery adds freshness, and parsley rounds everything out. Start here if you are new to green juices.
Dale un sabor al licuado de aguacate agregándole arándanos azules.
Here is a smart way to give your avocado smoothie a new personality: add blueberries. Blueberries or blackberries both work beautifully, and the drink also takes a little skim milk to loosen things up.
The color alone tells you it is healthy. That deep purple looks like something from a juice bar, and it tastes creamy and slightly sweet without a single spoonful of added sugar.
This one is a perfect substitute for breakfast or even lunch on the not so cold days of spring, when you want something fresh that still fills you up. The complete recipe is linked in the original article if you prefer to follow it step by step.
El jugo de toronja y sandía en un quemador de grasa instantáneo.
Grapefruit juice has a reputation as a fat burner, and this version makes it much easier to drink. To soften the sharp acidity of the grapefruit, blend it with chunks of watermelon. No water needed, the watermelon brings plenty of liquid on its own.
You can add a little honey or a zero calorie sweetener if the tartness still feels like too much. According to the original article, drinking it on an empty stomach shows results within a week. Take that claim as motivation rather than as a medical promise, and pair it with sensible meals.
El batido de mantequilla de nuez de la India ayuda a desinflamar el abdomen.
Nuts are high in calories, we all know that, but the original article describes them as miraculous for weight loss when they are used the right way. This cashew, or nuez de la India, shake is said to help the belly disappear.
The complete preparation is explained through a link in the original article, so keep that in mind if you want the exact steps. What I like about this one is the texture. It is creamy, nutty, and satisfying enough to quiet a snack craving in the middle of the afternoon.
El batido de menta y limón te ayudará a acelerar el metabolismo.
Mint and lemon together make a shake that is very refreshing, almost like a non alcoholic cocktail. It is the kind of drink you want on a hot afternoon when plain water starts to feel boring.
According to the original roundup, the combination of lemon and mint helps with stomach problems and speeds up the metabolism. Either way, it is light, bright, and easy to sip. If you keep fresh mint in the fridge, this one takes almost no effort at all.
El licuado de mango y arándanos te hará lucir un vientre plano.
Mango and blueberries are both highly nutritious, and together they make a smoothie that the original article says helps maintain a flat stomach. The mango brings tropical sweetness and the blueberries bring color and body.
A full recipe is linked in the original article. If you are improvising, keep it simple and serve it very cold, then let the fruit be the star. This is a good choice for anyone who wants something sweet that still fits a weight loss plan.
Un licuado solo de arándanos también tiene sus beneficios.
A smoothie made only of blueberries is one of the simplest ideas in this whole roundup, and it comes with a bonus. Besides being delicious, the original article presents it as a home remedy that relieves cystitis, that unpleasant ailment nobody likes to talk about.
It is worth keeping the idea in your back pocket for when you need it. That said, if you have symptoms that worry you or that do not go away, see a doctor. A smoothie is a kind gesture for your body, not a substitute for medical care.
El licuado de plátano, avena y chía es ideal para desayunar.
Banana, oats, and chia come together in a shake that is very nutritious and, according to the original article, helps flatten the belly. It is ideal for breakfast, and it can substitute either a breakfast or a dinner when you need something quick.
It is also the most filling drink on this list, thanks to the oats and the chia. If you only try one recipe from this roundup, this is a solid place to start. Blend it, pour it into a tall glass, and take your time with it.
