“Flat Stomach Juice.”

🥒 Ingredients

1 cucumber

1 green apple

1 cup pineapple chunks

½ handful spinach

½ lemon (juiced)

Small piece of ginger

1 cup water or coconut water

🥤 Instructions

Wash and cut all ingredients.

Blend (or juice) until smooth.

Drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

🌿 What This Drink Actually Does

While it’s labeled “flat stomach juice,” no drink can directly burn belly fat overnight. However, this smoothie can:

Reduce bloating (cucumber, ginger)

Support digestion (pineapple contains bromelain, ginger aids gut movement)

Provide fiber (apple, spinach)

Hydrate you (cucumber + water/coconut water)

Lower inflammation (ginger, spinach, lemon)

If you feel “puffy” or bloated, this type of drink may help temporarily — but long-term fat loss requires:

Calorie balance

Strength training

Adequate sleep

Consistent nutrition

⚠️ A Quick Tip

For better results:

Keep the fiber (blend instead of juice).

Avoid adding sweeteners.

Pair it with a high-protein breakfast to stay full longer.~~

One of my favorite saving tips (money and time) is chopping up onions in my chopper and freezing them! I get 10lb of onions for $4 at Costco and it lasts me about 2 months I put the little baggies in a gallon ziplock freezer bag and it doesnt make the freezer smell. I throw them in the pan frozen and they cook up well!
You can use mason jars or reusable baggies as well this is just what I had extras of and had to find a use!~~
