Is a smoothie diet healthy and does it work?

Well, it is something you should deeply consider.

I would suggest eating solid food though, which would be nuts and legumes.

UNLESS, you have a Vitamix/Blendtech

With these blenders, you can whatever you want and it will blend. So of you have a REALLY good blender, you can throw nuts and other healthy stuff besides veggies and fruits.

(There's our Vitamix in the picture)

Also, I will suggest that you focus putting much more vegetables in the smoothies than fruits.

Vegetables you can put:

KALE!

Spinach

Broccoli

Swiss chard

Cucumbers!

Fruits you can put:

Blueberries

Pinapple

Green apples

Peaches

Other ingredients you can put: (Of high quality blender available)

Algae (SPRIULINA!)

Nuts (Almonds, Peanuts, walnuts,cashews)

Seeds (Flax seeds, CHIA SEEDS)

Herbs (Cilantro, parsley, ect.)

I strongly suggest you eat solid food also. For a small example, you can eat salads with lots of nuts and fiber rich fruits.

Eat peanut butter too

DRINK WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTE: If possible, try to make everything you eat organic, or even better, local, Like at a farmers market.

The reason being is that pesticides used in non-organic foods can cause hormonal craziness...and some can be harmful to your health.

Here's one sample starter smoothie:

Basic Balance Victoria Boutenko 1 mango 1 cup kale 1 cup water Yields 1 quart

This is difficult, and you may not have all the access, but do your best...

What you want to do is get healthy. Then the weight with follow.

No it's not. You would be lacking certain nutrients. You need to change your eatimg habits instead. Don't eat a lot of processed foods. Eat as fresh as you can. Heck, if you aren't lazy you can be super healthy and cut out all processed foods and make your own bread in a bread pan and oven. Don't eat snack bars, don't drink juice and don't add sugar to things.
