You’ve made your fitness goals and written them out. Maybe you’ve put reminders to yourself on your fridge door. Maybe even inside it!
Now it’s time to do all you can to support your willpower and if you can choose naturally healthful drinks that empower you and help you to achieve those goals, you’re a smart cookie! And better to be a smart cookie than to eat a chocolate chip one.
Young Living created the Slique™ range to help you with staying on track when you’re looking to increase your vitality while trimming down. It’s tasty and delicious and essentially, it’s powered by essential oils – as you’d expect from the world leaders in these potent and highly concentrated gifts from nature: the lifeblood of plants that’s carefully captured with expert growing, harvesting and distillation to help you live the vibrant life you want to live.
So what’s in the Slique™ range? There are a number of products depending on your country, and the foundation products are Slique™ Tea (in convenient individual sachets) and Slique™ Essence, which is a tiny concentrated bottle of essential oils with a dash of the natural sweetener stevia. These two products can be used independently or together.
Let’s focus on Slique™ Tea first up. I’m not generally a huge fan of black tea, green tea or herbal tea but Slique Tea Cinnamon Oolong Cacao is a beautifully tasty mouthful!
Slique Tea contains two premium types of jade oolong tea leaves – not black, not green and not herbal – so I was very curious to see how my tastebuds responded. The way the flavours of the jade oolongs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and cacao combine tastes absolutely delicious to me! I was preparing myself to have to drink it begrudgingly but au contraire, it’s very enjoyable and something to look forward to often throughout the day.
A quick tea lesson for the uninitiated as I was: black, green and oolong teas all come from the Camellia sinensis bush. Which type of tea they become depends on how they’ve been allowed to oxidise after picking. Green tea is barely oxidised so it retains its green colour and ‘green’ flavour, whereas black tea is left to fully oxidise and mature (it also has the highest caffeine content) – and oolong is somewhere in between. Jade oolong from Taiwan – the kind that’s in Slique Tea – is a particular kind of oolong tea that’s considered by many to be the Rolls Royce of oolongs and sought after as being rich in antioxidants and aroma.
Cacao, cinnamon and nutmeg are all wonderful for revitalising and simulating energy, and pure vanilla essential oil (technically an absolute or essence, as vanilla is not steam distilled) is wonderfully comforting and relaxing. Vanilla is also one of the most popular flavours on the planet!
As for Slique Essence, this potent blend contains the essential oils of grapefruit, spearmint, lemon, tangerine and ocotea, with a hint of stevia extract for a naturally sweet taste. Here’s a rundown on some of their wonderful benefits:
- Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) invigorating and happy
- Spearmint (Mentha spicata) uplifting and calming
- Lemon (Citrus limon) cheerful and fresh
- Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) sweet and vibrant
- Ocotea (Ocotea quixos) warm and spicy
Along with using Slique Essence to add a flavour twist and extra vitality to Slique Tea, try adding a drop or two of Young Living Slique Essence to any of your favourite warm and cold drinks, smoothies, and to Young Living NingXia Red® daily fortifying juice drink.
BONUS TIP: Start your day off on the right foot by adding 1-2 drops of Slique Essence to a glass of very warm water with half a freshly squeezed lemon. You’ll love it !
