Well 2020 is in full swing and many of us I’m sure had one too many sweets and treats over the holiday. Now we all know a nutritious well balanced diet and exercise are the way to lose the odd pound or 2 but what about those teas that promise to help us with that journey? The slim down teas.
You’ve seen them on the shelves at the grocery store reminding you that the slightly larger slices of holiday pies were not really your friends-which you knew trying to put your jeans on as they feel a little tighter. Now if tea could help with making the scale a bit more in our favor-why not try it?
I cannot tell you if any of these teas work but if I am going to drink any tea it needs to be something I would enjoy. If there’s extra benefits- yay! If not-oh well at least I would have had a yummy cup of tea. Seriously if it doesn’t taste good I’m not drinking it-no matter who it’s by or what it promises. Here are my thoughts on the taste of 3 teas that are marketed as supporting healthy weight AKA slim down teas.

The packaging for this tea indicates increased metabolism, suppress appetite and promote weight loss. This tea is recommended to be used along with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Our Thoughts on the flavor
This tea smell was divine. Super yummy and peachy. If you like a sweeter tea this one is for you. I did not find it overly sweet and I do not take sugar in my tea. For you iced tea lovers I could see it being a good iced tea too.

Our thoughts on the flavor
My husband loves the flavor of this. It has a very woodsy/outdoorsy smell. Not strong and flavorful. I did not add milk and enjoyed the flavor.
Like I said-unfortunately I do not know if any of these work but they taste pretty good so I think I may include them now and then. I get so busy or prefer another cup that I’m only hitting one not 2 or more a day so not exactly following the recommendations. In the meantime it’s time to eat another carrot and lace up my running shoes-time to get my body moving.
