Super-Yum Fruit Soups Perfect for a Summer Weight Loss Menu ...

The idea of a chilled soup is quite an alien concept to many people even though there are some classic recipes like gazpacho and vichyssoise (try gazpacho – it’s delicious!). But what about fruit soups? Fruit soups are delightful. You can have them as a snack or a dessert and it’s a great way to get your fruit fix. And they’re great for when you’re trying to lose weight. I’m so hoping you’ll want to dig into these fruit soups.

It's a smoothie in a bowl 😐

Smoothies contain a lot of (natural) sugars, so they are not suitable if you want to loose weight at all!

Angelina .. That was exactly what I thought when I saw this it's just a glorified smoothie served up in a dogs for Pete sake not original at all and yes too much sugar , better off to have a vegetable based soup anyday and a piece of fruit to follow
