This flat belly smoothie is full of ingredients that will help you burn unwanted fat around your waist area and reduce bloating.
It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, unwanted belly fat is never fun.
Especially when it comes with bloating and you find yourself needing to buy new pants. (Ugh.)
So, what’s the solution?
A tasty smoothie that you can drink every morning. One, that will work on flattening your belly without exercise.
(Of course I highly recommend exercising, as it is super important for overall health.)
The stars of this smoothie are cucumber, green tea and blueberries.
Before you get all grossed out because of the cucumber…don’t worry! You can’t even taste it.
It’s also a good to way to eat more veggies for those who hate veggies, don’t you think? 😉
Use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones. They are cheaper, you can get them all year round and they will give your smoothie a better consistency.
Just put all the ingredients in your favorite blender and pulse that baby!
(I actually didn’t put any maple/agave syrup in my smoothie, as it was perfectly delicious without it, but if you need it, go ahead!)
Drink this every morning for a month and enjoy your reducing waistline. 🙂

Did you make this Flat Belly Smoothie? Let me know in the comments!
Hi! I really want to try this but I was wondering can I swap flax seeds with chia seeds? Flax seeds are hard to find around where I live for some reason.
Hi Grace,
Yes, you can swap them to any kind of seeds! 🙂
I’m sure this is a silly question but can you use ground flaxseed?? Would it be the same amount? Thank you!!
Hi Sarah!
Sure, you can use ground flax seed! The amount would be around 2/3. 🙂
Hi, Kate!
Would it be a problem if I kept the cucumber skin on? I love the taste of it.
Hi Amber! Of course, you can leave the skin on, it contains a lot of valuable nutrients! Just make sure to wash it properly. 🙂
Hi! I’m live in another country and here is not easy to find blueberries, can i use another berrie instead?
Hi Ellen!
You can use any berries you like. 🙂
I am so happy that I found your website, I can’t wait to try some of the recipes!
Can you please write a cookbook? I can’t promise that the pages won’t be smothered with ingredients, forcing me to replace the book, but I’ll take 2 smothered cookbooks over my printed pages, which are starting to look like a cookbook version of War and Peace. Time to buy a Kate Binder, me thinks…!
Hi Kate,
Just want to ask this recipe only works on your belly alone
Hi there!
This recipe works for your whole body in general. 🙂
Hi. How many calories? I came up with 168. Is this correct? Thanks.
