Apple cider vinegar cranberry juice and pineapple juice

Do you need to give your body a break from all the Christmas cookies, Eggnog with Bourbon and Beef & Bernaise?

Start your day with a kickass healthy drink of Cranberry, Apple Cider Vinegar & Lemon Juice. This power drink is packed with healthy juices that boosts your metabolism into high gear, cleanses the system, and kills sugar cravings.  I learned about the Cranberry, Apple Cider Vinegar & Lemon Juice Drink drink from Dr. Eric Berg,  a popular wellness doctor and author. You can watch his video to learn about the science behind apple cider vinegar. (The  drink recipe is discussed at mark 10:00). I noticed improvements right away when I tried it, and now always keep a mug in the fridge ready to sip. It is especially good the next morning after eating large, heavy, fatty meals like Thanksgiving, Pasta Alfredo or an All-Pork Belly Porchetta feast. I've told several of my friends and family about it and they have now become converts.

Yes, Cranberry, Apple Cider Vinegar & Lemon Juice Drink is as tart as it sounds. The trick is to add ice cubes, lots of water and keep it chilled.  Dr. Berg's recipe calls for 6 ounces of water but I usually add 10 ounces of water. I have also tried Perrier in lieu of water and find that very refreshing too.

Hit the reset button with this refreshing and revitalizing detox drink!

We all have those times we wish we could just hit the reset button. Unfortunately, reality being what it is, there’s no do-over for when you accidentally sleep through your alarm, like an ex’s Instagram post from three years ago, or paste a long “what are we” text from your drafts into a message to your boss instead of  the phone number you thought you copied. (Just me? Okay, moving on then.)

There is, however, a reset button when it comes to your diet. No, strictly speaking, you can’t undo a month of Christmas cookies or a week of fine dining and cocktails on the beach. (Nor should you want to!) But the right detox drink can help you refresh, reset, and get back on track. This apple cider vinegar and cranberry detox drink can help kickstart your metabolism, boost energy, and rev up a sluggish digestive system. ACV and cranberry juice are the perfect combo to help detox kidneys, liver, circulatory system, and give your immune system a boost. This detox may even be helpful for a quick hangover cure (although we can’t promise a reset on any of the embarrassing drunk texts you sent.) 

Why It Works

Whether we’e talking about our bodies or our social media habits, “detox” and “cleanse” are words that get tossed around a lot. But what exactly do we talk about when we talk about detoxing?

Essentially, detoxing is a way of getting your body to do the things it should be doing more efficiently. It’s like closing all your tabs and restarting your computer when it’s going slow. It helps rid your body of the things it doesn’t need to get it working at its optimal functionality.

Hydration is obviously key to any health plan. Hydrating with detox drinks like this one helps accelerate the process, flushing out your system and giving your body a fresh start. Of course, what you put into your body is just as important as what you cleanse it of. When you start your day with this apple cider vinegar and cranberry detox drink, you’ll replace all those toxins with tons of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

Whether you need to restart after a night of sugary cocktails, a month of heavy holiday meals, or just a plain old diet slump (it happens to the best of us), this refreshing apple cider vinegar and cranberry detox drink will cleanse and revitalize so you can get back on track.

Go Ahead, Press Reset

By the way, when we say “refreshing,” we do mean refreshing. This drink is as tart as it sounds. It’s made with real, clean, refreshing ingredients. Sorry, no sticky, sugary cranberry juice cocktail here. This mix of fresh ingredients makes for a bold drink that will wake you up inside and out. Serve cold to get the most out of this morning restart.

There may not be any reset button for your social media blunders, wrong numbers, and embarrassing moments. But with the right detox drink, you can hit always hit reset on your health and fitness goals.
