Jumpstart your metabolism with this tonic of old fashioned herbs that are good for weight loss. You see these videos all over the internet of using the actual herbs for a smoothie which may be just as good, or even better, but it is a lot of fussing around. We found a shortcut to share with you that uses food grade essential oils.

I’m not going to tell you that it tastes great, but it isn’t all that bad, especially if you chase it with some water. You wouldn’t want to repeat this more than once a day, and it is not going to replace a healthy diet.

Well, watch the video and tell us what you think :) 

Here is the whole recipe, and below that, we will add info about each essential Oil.
