Bananas – are healthy and nutritious, high in fiber and low in calories, reduce bloating, control your appetite and help in weight loss
Spinach – low-calorie, an excellent source of vitamins and minerals including folate, iron, riboflavin, vitamin B6, calcium and magnesium
Coconut Milk – contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which has been linked with weight loss; also helps to work to reduce body weight and waist size
