Herbaslim

What it is

FitLine Herbaslim is a natural herbal tea developed and produced exclusively for PM-International. The base is chopped peppermint and hibiscus, both at 21.4%, joined by apple pieces, birch leaves, lemon peel, rosehip peel, licorice root, ginger and blackberry leaves. No added sugar: just an aromatic herbal blend in a 100 g pack.

What it is for and benefits

Herbaslim is meant as a drink to enjoy throughout the day. Hot, it becomes a comforting cup during the cold months; cold, it is a refreshing, thirst-quenching iced tea in summer. I personally use it instead of sugary drinks when I want something pleasant without extra calories. The mint brings freshness, the hibiscus a slightly tart note, while licorice and ginger round off the taste. It remains a herbal tea to enjoy within a healthy lifestyle, not a slimming product.

How to use it

Pour about 200 ml of boiling water over 1 heaped teaspoon of Herbaslim (2.5 g), let it steep for at least 8 minutes and strain. For the cold version, brew the tea, let it cool and add ice. Always use boiling water for food safety reasons.

Main ingredients

Peppermint (chopped) 21.4%, hibiscus 21.4%, apple pieces, birch leaves, lemon peel, rosehip peel, licorice root 6%, ginger, blackberry leaves. A blend of herbs only, with no colourings or added sugar.

Who it is for

It suits anyone looking for a pleasant tea to sip during the day, anyone wanting to cut down on sugary drinks, and lovers of aromatic infusions. As it is a herbal food, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have specific health conditions, it is best to ask your doctor, especially because of the licorice content.

Warnings and safety

Always use boiling water and steep for at least 8 minutes for food safety reasons. Herbaslim does not replace a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Licorice is not recommended for people with high blood pressure: if in doubt, ask your doctor. Store in a cool, dry place.

Opinions

I have been drinking it for a while and my honest take is this: it is a tasty, fragrant and versatile tea, great both hot and cold. Don't expect slimming effects: it is simply a pleasant drink that helps me drink more during the day without sugar. Those looking for an aromatic infusion enjoy it; those after a miracle product are disappointed, because that is not its purpose.
