Feel Full Longer

smoothie can be more than just a treat. If it’s a “satiety smoothie,” it can help you fight fat, too, by making you feel full on few calories. While the smoothies we tested delivered on their promises, any snack with a mix of protein, fiber, and healthy fat (key ingredients in most satiety drinks) will work—just stick to 200 calories or fewer. Richard Atkinson, MD, president of the American Obesity Association, gives this advice for managing hunger: “Use what works for you, whether it’s a glass of milk, a protein bar, or one of these drinks.”
