Cravings Crushing Tea Picks

image

 

Tea is a great thing to drink especially when you are trying to watch what you’re eating.  Warm or hot liquids help expand your belly and make you feel full.  Plus tea is delicious, all natural, and comforting too.  I am a huge advocate of green tea but sometimes you need something a little sassier to help quell those sugar cravings.  In those cases you need a super flavorful tea.

There are a lot of great teas out there and I am always trying new ones and have quite a few I enjoy.   However these 3 particular teas are perfect for when that crazy sweet tooth attacks.  They will really make your taste buds happy and help decrease your need for sweets.  I always have these particular ones on hand and so far have not found any new ones that are quite as delicious yet.

Try enjoying these after meals, before bed, or mid afternoon when that sweet tooth typically really attacks with a vengeance lol! My top tea preparing tips are to always use a large mug with 2 tea bags to really pop that flavor.  Also squeeze the tea bags well before drinking to boost the flavor even more.

 

Yogi Egyptian Licorice

This is so good!  Trust me I am not a licorice fan (I don’t hate it but I wouldn’t pick licorice if I was given a choice basically).  However this tea is so sweet and the spice taste is super unique.  It is not cinnamon but it is very interesting- delicious and addictive. This one needs no additional sweetener IMO!  Plus I love the little Yogi inspirational tea tag messages 😉

English Tea Shop Chocolate Rooibos & Vanilla

This tea is the least naturally sweet of my picks but it has a very nice cocoa, vanilla flavor.  Rooibos is a fun and different type of tea too so it adds to the multi flavor punch going on.  You may want to add a little zero calorie tea to this one to help enhance the flavors and a small splash of coconut, almond, soy, or cow cream or milk.  It tastes very unique and really helps a chocolate craving for zero to minimal calories (depending on if you choose to add a little something to it).

 

Good Earth Sweet & Spicy

This has been a favorite of mine for years.  So perfectly sweet and spicy just as the package says!  No extra sweetener needed as it has a delicious spicy cinnamon flavor-not the hot or overpowering cinnamon but the comforting type of cinnamon.  This almost has an apple pie like taste too although there is not an apple flavor (hopefully that makes sense haha!)

 

I urge you to try these out.  They are a great way to get a sweet fix for no calories.  Throw a few packets in your bag or purse too.  They can really help you out if you are trying to eat better 😉
