Metabolism Boosting Tea

When we eat junk, sleep less and sit more, the metabolism will slow down (and the scale starts to go up). I use my Metabolism Boosting Tea on my Plant-Based Cleanse to naturally suppress hunger, boost hydration and kick-start the fat-burning process.

When trying to shed a few pounds, I encourage you to drink this Metabolism Tea 1-2 times a day. It has all the fresh, raw ingredients needed to activate your metabolic system, naturally.

How to Use Metabolism Tea

To get your metabolism ramped up, you just need what we’ve always needed: rest, nutrient-dense foods that boost your metabolism and movement. This is how our bodies are meant to function and thrive.

When you get back to these three essentials, you’re practicing self-care and your body will begin to heal itself. Sometimes that means more energy, weight loss, clear skin, fewer aches, etc— but no matter what it’s going to be feeling better than it does right now.

Best time to drink

The best time to have Metabolism Tea is upon rising as it will activate your digestive system and help relieve any bloating or digestive concerns. Once the tonic settles in, it’ll get your metabolism burn happening as well.

As the day goes on and you’re feeling hungry in between meals, sip this before you have a snack. Sometimes hunger is actually your body telling you it’s thirsty (the wires do often get crossed in our minds).

Can I make it in Bulk?

You can make this in bulk (omit the water) and freeze into ice cube trays. Then in the morning, pop one cube into a mug with hot water (or enjoy it cold in the summer). Doing this will set you up for that success you crave and get you on the road to lower weight + increased energy.

Powerful Ingredients in Metabolism Tea

Let’s be honest. When you’re just started out with a healthier diet, it’s much easier to incorporate something healthy to drink than trying to cook a new meal. This drink isn’t the cure all, but it will support you on this wellness journey thanks to these awesome ingredients:

• Apple cider vinegar – or ACV to its closest friends – contains something called acetic acid. While research is still being done to see how this is helpful, initial studies show that acetic acid reduces insulin levels, which in turn ramps up your metabolism.
• Lemon: Lemon contains various polyphenols that can suppress our appetite.
• Ginger root: This inflammation fighting root vegetable helps heal your body from the inside out.
• Cinnamon: Cinnamon has a direct tie to our metabolism and can target the fat deposited in the abdominal area.
• Honey: Using a natural sweeteners makes this drink delicious while also adding beneficial anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

More Foods to Increase Metabolism and Burn Fat

Getting a healthy amount of leafy greens, legumes, proteins, vegetables and fruits is essential to supporting the metabolism. Slow-burning carbohydrates will help you maintain a stable metabolic rate and keep you active and nourished throughout the day.

Stick with foods like…

• Green apples + homemade nut butter
• Veggie bowls like a Teriyaki bowl using a brown rice or quinoa base
• Spicy roasted cauliflower wings and cashew cream
• Hearty kale caesar salad with nuts (or eggs)
• Vegan Austinite tacos packed with veggies

Refined sugars and simple starches do the opposite, spiking insulin production and throwing the whole system out of whack. This can cause the metabolism to slow down and to store sugar as fat rather than burning it as energy. Yet it’s not easy to say no to them, so I prefer the method of adding in more good stuff so it crowds out the bad.

Bottom line: A plant-based whole-food diet is going to do your metabolism some serious good.

I hope I’ve inspired you to try this simple morning routine to kick start your weight loss journey. Set goals beyond pants size or pounds— running a 5k, hiking a trail, running the Grand Canyon, kayaking with your kids, dancing with your loved ones— allow your weight loss success to just be a launching pad to a more active energized version of you.
