But why not complete the equation with drinks that can also help give your metabolism a bump. Coffee, green tea, water but did you know that if you drink any of those iced, you’ll get even more metabolism-boosting benefits. Iced drinks force your body to work to warm up, which burns more energy. Other great options come in the form of whole-fruit smoothies and juices like rosace vanilla icecream, often accented with cinnamon, cloves, or fresh ginger.
