Any suggestions on a good tea????



Recommended Posts

Does anybody have a good tea suggestion? Lately I notice that I been drinking a lot of coffee. I started with 1 cup a day and I'm up to 4 cups a day which I know is too many! I been using fair life fat free milk instead of the Creamer but I don't like that I been using way too many Splenda packets to sweetened my coffee. I'm open to hear everyone's suggestions, I'm not a picky person.

What kind of tea depends greatly on your personal tastes. Here are some of mine:

I like hibiscus tea because I like sweet, tart things. You could also use your fairlife to cook a good chai from scratch on the stovetop, that would be amazing, see this for all the options: http://www.crunchybetty.com/the-epic-guide-to-making-your-own-chai-tea (just keep the sugar content low).

If you like a calmer, relaxing tea, there are a variety of mints. Peppermints are good for nausea.

Jasmine is one of my favorites because it is good for digestion and easy to drink.


You can always buy a variety pack and enjoy exploring all the different flavors!

2 Tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger

2 Tablespoons peeled and grated fresh tumeric

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups Water

1 cup artificial sweetener

Bring to boil and simmer at least five minutes.

Turn off heat and add 6 green tea bags.

Let that steep about 20 minutes.

Now you have an awesome concentrate that you can use to make 4-6 servings of tea.

If you look up the benefits of the first four ingredients, you will be amazed at how healthy it is.

That's good, because it does have a lot of sweetener in it, even though you do divide it out.

I always though green tea tasted like dirty feet, but I can actually enjoy it made this way.

I have been drinking Bamboo tea recently. It supposedly is high in silica which helps skin, hair, and nails. Tastes decent and helps my Hair loss and dryness all in one!

For easy to find tea, I really like the following varieties from Twinings: Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Green, and Green with Jasmine.

I absolutely love most of the teas from Teavana (http://teavana.com/). They can be a bit pricey, but the teas are absolutely phenomenal. You can find them in quite a few malls, and if there isn't a retail store near you, then you can order online. I really recommend trying the winterberry blend!

Harney and Sons has wonderful teas!

I drink their citrus tea daily with lemon.

Their Paris tea is wonderful with a touch of Splenda.

Two of my favorites!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
