(Metabolism Boost)

Matcha Green Tea
Matcha green tea contains the polyphenol EGCG, a thermogenic component believed to boost metabolism. Unlike other varieties of green tea, where you steep and disgard the leaves, matcha tea is ground into a powder that completely dissolves in water. When you drink it, you ingest the tea leaves and all of their healthful nutrients. It has great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Enjoy matcha green tea cold – cold beverages require your body to work harder, burning more calories. For a metabolic boost, aim for 3 cups a day.

(Bloating)

Lemon Peppermint Ice Cubes
Indigestion is one of the most common causes of bloating. Peppermint improves the flow of bile to digest fats better. Lemon adds flavor so you won’t have to use sweeteners that can also cause bloating.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups lemon juice
15 peppermint leaves

Freeze peppermint leaves in lemon juice in an ice cube tray. Add 3 cubes to every glass of water at least 3 times a day, or with meals

De-Bloat Mocktail
A diet high in salt can bring on the bloat, causing your body to retain water. Pomegranate juice contains magnesium and potassium to counteract this. Tabasco has capsaicin to increase urine flow and rid your body of excess salt. This non-alcoholic beverage also helps you avoid the hidden bloating effects of alcohol.

Ingredients
1 cup low-sugar pomegranate juice
1 lime
1/8 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup ginger ale

Directions
Mix ingredients and enjoy!
