Review: doTERRA Slim & Sassy
Have you tried essential oils yet? My husband uses a few that he swears by, so I am excited to try doTERRA's Slim & Sassy product!
I have been using the Slim and Sassy for a about a month and would like to share with you my thoughts. I had picked up some weight through the winter months (like that picked up? Why can’t I just put it down?) , and now find that I am craving the salty crunchy foods. So how did Slim and Sassy help me? I feel it has helped to cut down on the cravings. My pattern has been that I take a few drops before breakfast, lunch and dinner to minimize how much I eat with meals.
I have learned this month that the Slim and Sassy works great to battle nausea. The combination of Ginger and Peppermint which are both known to help with queasy stomachs has been helpful with the 24 hour flu bug that raced through our house this month.
While the taste is something that I had to learn to like, the smell was something that I did enjoy. The smell is strong! Honestly, I like the smell better than the taste but smelling it won’t get it inside my body!
When I received the bottle, I couldn’t wait to try it. I grabbed my bottle of water and immediately added it to my drink. Mistake! I had a really hard time drinking it. The taste, which is a blend of grapefruit, ginger, lemon, and peppermint and cinnamon essential oils, is not BAD, just different. It did take me a couple of days to learn to like it. I tried the drops alone on my tongue. Let’s just say that it is a real eye opener the first time to take it this way! Now after a month, I find that I can use the product either way depending on my schedule and if I just need a little help at any moment.
As far as the taste, the strongest flavor to me is the ginger. I love ginger but it is still the one that stands out, followed by cinnamon. If you use it straight, it may give your mouth a little burning sensation (which is not unpleasant).
And as a bonus, I did find that since I was cutting out the snacks, I did lose about five pounds without doing anything different. I will call that a successful test.

Since I’m on cholesterol pill, Can i take slim and sassy. It has grapefruit.
Thank you.
I want to try the drink.
I read some information that stated that when you apply a drop or two of essential oils on the bottom of your foot, it absorbs into your bloodstream in about 30 seconds. Can you do that with the Slim & Sassy and would you get the same benefits as drinking it?
I have not tried it that way. Other oils I will place a drop in a dime size puddle of coconut or olive oil and massage in when using.
Thank you. We are working on it.
I read this as a review and didn’t realize it was a giveaway to the end lol. Anyways this is really interesting. I wonder if you can put the drops in your food maybe? or a strong drink. The taste factor kinda throws me off since I had a bad experience when I was younger with this stuff my dad bought for my weight loss. It was horrific and I had to drink it straight and only chase with water. I got a gastric bypass years ago but gained weight when I had my first baby 8 months ago. I would love to drop extra pounds but I dunno if I could aquire a taste to this stuff. I may just stick with slim fast since I do like that taste. Thanks for the chance to win though!
I bought vegan capsules to put the drops in and then swallow. You can’t taste the oils through the capsules. I do however burp up the taste for the first half hour afterwards. I have learned that chewing cinnamon gum for that short amount of time afterwards makes a HUGE difference! I hope this helps 🙂
How did it help with you appetite or weight loss if you were using it for that purpose?
You can buy capsules that are empty at any Health Food or herbal store. They are cheap. All you do is add the oil to your capsule and take it with water. You don’t taste anything and it works great!
Thanks so much for sharing about this, I’ve never heard about it before and I’m thinking maybe I should try it!
