• Spirulina powder
• Kefir

Spirulina powder kicks your metabolism into high gear by flushing any lingering toxins out of your digestive system.

To make this drink, just mix two tablespoons of spirulina powder into a glass of kefir. Drink before you go to bed.

Kefir contains plenty of live probiotics and protein, which are also beneficial for weight loss.

• Celery, chopped
• Apple cider vinegar
• Black pepper
• Salt

To make this drink, blend 1/2 cup of chopped celery in a blender or food processor. Add one teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of salt.

Celery is a "negative calorie" food - you'll burn more calories digesting it than the celery itself contains.

• Tomato juice
• Lime juice

To make this simple drink, just combine two parts tomato juice with one part lime juice. Tomatoes are full of beneficial antioxidants that ward off diseases and obesity.

Limes are packed with vitamin C, which may help you burn extra fat during your workouts.

• Blended wheatgrass
• Water
• Grapes

This drink is simple. All you have to do is combine 2 parts blended wheatgrass, 2 parts water, and 1 part grapes in a blender.

Grapes and wheatgrass both help to keep your blood sugar levels stable, which prevents cravings. They also regulate blood cholesterol.
