What if a drink could actually help you slim down? It’s not a dream! Certain ingredients are well known for their detox and fat-burning properties. All you need to do is get to know them and use them wisely to make the most of their benefits. Today we’re sharing some slimming drink ideas — perfect for keeping your figure in check.
Slimming drink: lemon, mint & cucumber
This first recipe not only supports a slimmer figure, it also has a flat-tummy effect. The mint helps prevent bloating, while the ginger helps boost your metabolism and the lemon acts as a powerful fat burner. Cucumber rounds it out with its strong satiating power and antioxidant properties.
Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber
- 1 handful of chopped mint
- 1 squeezed lemon
- 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
- 1.5 litres of water
Method:
Start by steeping the mint and ginger in 1.5L of hot water for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the cucumber and blend it until you get a slightly thick liquid.
Then combine everything, adding the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Refrigerate overnight and enjoy the next day throughout the day.
Green tea & cinnamon
Tea is a great natural draining drink — it also hydrates and provides a useful appetite-suppressing effect when you’re watching your figure.
Here, we pair it with spices and lemon to give your metabolism a boost, helping you burn more calories even at rest.
Agave syrup, finally, adds a touch of sweetness if needed, without causing a blood sugar spike, thanks to its low glycaemic index.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 litres of hot water
- 2 green tea bags
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 squeezed lemon
- 2 tsp agave syrup
Method:
Steep the green tea and spices in boiling water for about 30 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and agave syrup if you’d like a touch of sweetness.
Enjoy hot or cold, however you like, throughout the day!
