Each single-serve pack creates a delicious, nutrient-packed smoothie that can be enjoyed anywhere.  Simply add one RightSize packet to an 8-ounce serving of skim milk (or milk substitute) and shake in the RightSize blender bottle to create a thick, creamy meal replacement smoothie.

"Today's lifestyles are so hectic, we believe it's important to make losing weight as easy and convenient as possible," explains Laurie Chapman, Brand Manager at RightSize.  "The single-serve packs can be tucked in a purse, desk drawer or travel bag for a nutritious meal anytime, anywhere."

RightSize smoothies are the first meal replacement smoothies on the market to offer single-serve convenience, Chapman adds.  They are available in an eight-portion variety pack which includes two of each flavor:  Lean Cocoa Bean®, SkinniVanilli® Slend-A-Berry® and Leano Cappuccino®.   The single serve packs can be purchased online at myrightsize.com.

RightSize meal replacement smoothies are made with a combination of nutrients to curb hunger and help with weight loss, including 15 grams of protein (when made with skim milk), 6 grams of fiber, over 20 essential vitamins and minerals, as well as natural ingredients such as green tea and ginger root extracts.  RightSize smoothies have no added caffeine and are gluten-free. 

"Many diets fail because people get hungry all the time," explains Chapman.  "The combination of protein and fiber in RightSize smoothies satisfies that hunger to help dieters stick to their plan and lose weight.

"Best of all, RightSize smoothies taste like delicious, creamy shakes, which is a huge benefit.  People look forward to their next smoothie, which can make it easier for them to stay on their diet," she adds.

Dieting success with RightSize smoothies was demonstrated in a 12-week, independent clinical trial which was published in Current Nutrition and Food Science in November, 2012.  Participants who completed the diet trial lost a pound or two a week on average when they consumed a RightSize smoothie for breakfast and lunch each day along with healthy snacks and a sensible dinner as part of their healthy diets.  Several participants reported that the smoothies curbed their hunger and made them feel full for over two hours until it was time for their next snack or meal.  Participants also reported having more energy and said they felt better about themselves, both physically and mentally.

RightSize makes it easier for everyone to usher in a healthier "new you" for the New Year.  Anyone can enjoy smoothies, whether they're on a weight loss diet, eating to maintain their weight or just want a quick and delicious meal on the go.
