The best time to get your metabolism revved is in the morning. Many people swear by exercising in the A.M. to get their metabolism up and running. But if morning workouts aren’t your thing, don’t worry, there are nutritious and detoxifying drinks you can have before breakfast that work just as well!
Detox drinks are a great way to fuel your body with healthy ingredients that are rich in vitamins, nutrients, and minerals–and no, we’re not talking about a green juice that will solve all of your problems. These drinks will give your body and your metabolism a healthy boost to get things running to burn calories.
Not sure which drink you should be having in the morning to speed up your metabolism? We took a cue from our favorite celebrities to see what they’re morning metabolism routine looks like. From Khloé Kardashian, to Gwyneth Paltrow, here are the detox drinks celebrities swear by to speed up their metabolisms in the morning:
Beyoncé
When Beyoncé had to lose weight for Dreamgirls, the first thing she had in the morning was a glass of hot water, lemon, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper.
The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of freshly-squeezed lemon juice. 2 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup, 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 10 ounces of pure water.
Queen Bey drank this detox juice to replace her meals to get into shape. We don't recommend depriving yourself of food, but this does make a good morning drink to get the metabolism running. Just make sure you're eating a healthy, well-balanced breakfast, too!
Gwyneth Paltrow
Starting the day off with a glass of warm lemon water is how Gwyneth gets her metabolism revved, too! The mom of two swears by it to help boost her metabolism and get her body energized. It also works as an easy way to cleanse the body and flush out toxins.

Khloé Kardashian
Fit Tea is all over our Instagram feeds and it's a drink that celebrities, like Khloé Kardashian, love to have for weight loss. The tea is proven to lower hunger for 4-6 hours while purifying the body from waste and toxins and boosting the metabolism.
Salma Hayek
Hayek teamed up with Juice Generation co-founder Eric Helms to co-create the perfect recipes for her nutritional juices and nut milks, called Cooler Cleanse. These fresh, raw juices feature health-enhancing ingredients and make an excellent addition to any morning routine.
Body Lab Tasty Shake Complete Whey Protein Complex ($15)
Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo starts off her day with a Body Lab protein shake, which she loves because they feature the perfect combination of fast-absorbing, superior quality protein, and thermogenic fat burning compound. Together, they help reduce your waist size and help you burn abdominal fat fast!
"I joined the BodyLab family not only because of their commitment to creating great health and fitness products for women, by women, but also because of their approach to the holistic lifestyle. It's not a solution-in-a-bottle. It's not a fad diet. It's part of a health regimen that makes your metabolism work as hard as you do. It’s a way to love your body," the singer says of the shake and the brand.
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney is famous for her holistic and natural way of living, so it's no surprise that the reality star starts her day off with a serving of melted ghee. She swears by the clarified butter because it is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and helps promote weight loss and fat burning.
"Ghee is the first thing I put in my body every morning. I take one big teaspoon of ghee every morning, melt it on the stove in a pan and drink it out of a cute little ceramic white cup. After I take it, I don't eat anything for 20 minutes, and then I drink a glass of water before eating food," she says on her website.
