My appetite was definitely reduced, and I stopped craving chocolates and sweets as much as before. The Night Cleanse was a tad stronger with hints of lemongrass and ginger (not my favourite), but it had a calming effect on me, which made it perfect for before bed, really. The Morning Boost had a light floral flavour, and I liked that I could have it at any time of the day as long as it was before 5pm.
Hits: Surprisingly, the teas tasted fine. My biggest challenge: I have an unrelenting sweet tooth and a weakness for iced lattes. “Having tried out and survived a juice cleanse a few months back, I was more than ready to test the effectiveness of SkinnyMint’s Teatox. Isabel, one of our resident lifestyle writers, stepped up to the plate and embarked on the 14-day Teatox. Naturally, you should abstain from coffee, alcohol, greasy foods, and other sugary-laden food during your Teatox. The best part: you can still eat three square meals a day – in fact, the folks at SkinnyMint recommend keeping a well-balanced diet while you’re on the programme. Taken daily, the Morning Boost reportedly curbs appetite while the Night Cleanse (to drink every other day) is a mild, natural laxative that lowers cholesterol. Each tea has been specially formulated with plants renowned for their health benefits, which works in tandem to help you drop the pounds by burning more calories and fat, reduce bloatedness, and boost metabolism rate – totally music to our ears. Sip two different blends, the Morning Boost and the Night Cleanse, during your teatox (either a 14-day or 28-day programme). Not only are all ingredients used 100% natural and organic, their products are rigorously tested through countless tasting sessions before being launched. The long and short of itĬonceptualised by Kasia Vermaire, the first female tea sommelier in the Netherlands, SkinnyMint helps to cleanse and detoxify through their Teatox programme. That’s why we were intrigued by the slim promise of SkinnyMint when it came around and decided to give it a try. With new, exciting restaurants popping up all over town, coupled with stress-eating and buffet-indulging, surely you can’t blame us for less than fit and fab (read: fat) on most days.
