doTERRA’s Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is super supportive for a healthy metabolism. Whether your metabolism is sluggish, or maybe too efficient- Slim and Sassy will help balance your metabolism whichever way it needs to go. My favorite aspect of S&S is that it helps manage hunger cravings! When I just want to eat my way through the potato chip bag and chase it with any chocolate I can find in my general vicinity... Slim and Sassy comes to my rescue every time! The peppermint oil calms your stomach and the citrus oils lift mood and bonus, it’s calorie-free.
So you can add Slim and Sassy to water or tea and drink before working out for a revitalizing energy boost making it perfect for any healthy weight management program. You can also drink a drop or two in your water before meals to help control appetite and overeating. But hands down, my favorite way to utilize the metabolic powers of this blend is to use a few drops in my Fab and Sassy Smoothie recipe!
This recipe is one that I drink daily- usually as my breakfast or lunch- sometimes as a meal replacement if I know I’m going to be out and about during dinner time. The Fab part of the recipe is adapted from the book Body Love by Kelly Leveque.
The advice in Kelly’s book helps set you up for success by eliminating cravings, mood swings, and other symptoms caused by food drama. Her Fab Four smoothie recommendation is formulated from a powerful blend of nutritional science and the psychology of how we think about food (or why we obsess about it). So I’ve dōTERRA-ized the Fab Four formula to take advantage of all the goodness of essential oils as well!
