With the warm weather just around the corner, here are some

Summer drinks options to keep you in your Bikini (or Speedos…!) :-O

Temple holistic’s good friend Laurra Nalty came round to share her latest
Smooth fruit and veg creations with us over the weekend. Now you can make your own, guaranteed to keep you toned!

5 drinks which will keep the tummy fat off:

1. Dark Chocolate Smoothie: Oh Yeah! You asked and the Universe listened 😉
dark chocolate helps with keeping the tummy down because it decreases your
appetite and lessens your general food cravings. Try it as a breakfast
shake to help control your appetite until lunchtime.

2. Green Tea: It contains catechins, antioxidants which help reduce tummy fat.
Sipping green tea before you exercise can increase your fat burning rate.

3. Pineapple Frappe: A blended pineapple drink that tastes like summer holidays
in a glass—use it to pack in two tummy-flattening ingredients: A tablespoon of
flaxseed oil adds monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), proven to flatten your
tummy, and pineapple itself contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps break
down proteins, ease digestion, and stops you getting bloated.
      
4. Flat Tummy Drink – Peppermint Iced Tea: This is a super minty, super refreshing,
super effective tummy flattener. Peppermint helps the stomach process fats so
even high-fat foods like burgers and steaks are digested quickly, preventing
that bloated look. Cooling the drink means your body has to burn calories to
raise your core temperature, adding to the overall effect!
      
5. Watermelon Smoothies:  are an excellent way to hydrate your body,
provided you leave out the sugar. Watermelon is an awesome low-calorie
smoothie base. According to The Journal of Nutrition, watermelon contains
arginine, which helps decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass.

Make sure you blend the actual fruit and if you have to get it in a carton make sure it has
no added sugar and is not from concentrate!

Happy smoothie drinking!
