  • Gotukola (Sri Lankan superfood, rich in antioxidants and aids weight loss)

Cooking Methods (Instructions) Focused for Weight Loss

1. Wash and prepare all fresh ingredients. Peel and chop the papaya into small cubes. Clean the gotukola leaves thoroughly.

2. In a blender, combine 2 cups of crushed ice, 1 cup of chopped papaya, a handful of gotukola leaves, 1 cup of king coconut water, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and a pinch of stevia for sweetness.

3. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. Avoid over-blending to preserve the fiber content of the ingredients.

4. Serve immediately in a chilled glass for a refreshing and weight-loss-friendly beverage.

Weight Loss Tips & Advice

This slush is best consumed in the morning or as a mid-day snack to curb cravings and boost energy levels. Replace sugary drinks with this slush to reduce calorie intake. Incorporate gotukola regularly into your diet for its metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Pair this drink with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal weight loss results.

For a more filling option, add a tablespoon of chia seeds to the slush after blending. Chia seeds are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which promote satiety and support weight loss.
