"If it tastes terrible... Why should I drink it?" you ask... Keep reading to see all the health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar!

Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe:

Base Cocktail:
1 Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs or organic unpasteurized)
1/4 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper (little more if you're daring)
A Pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt
A few drops of water to dilute the acidity a bit (this is up to you)

Getting Fancy:
Add a bit of fresh ginger (yum!)
Add honey (get some good local honey from your local farmer's market or organic grocery)

Keep these things out of your ACV Drink:

Tumeric - You can't really get good Tumeric in CT (or anywhere on the East Coast) easily, so don't sweat it!
Tequilla - A great morning probiotic, but take that alone! And not before work...
Fear - It's going to taste like total garbage, summon some Will Power and down it!

Use The Best Ingredients

We have tried many brands of both apple cider vinegar AND Himalayan pink salt. There's not much of a different in taste between pasteurized and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, but unpasteurized offers more health benefits, so we like to go with the real stuff- unpasteurized. Here are our favorite kinds of Apple Cider Vinegar:

Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is the go-to in our opinion. It has the most bearable taste, but more importantly it's unpasteurized so it offers 100% of the health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar. You'll notice we threw in some other Apple Cider Vinegar products, like Goli Gummies and a Powdered Mix if you aren't ready to jump in head first and start making cocktails quite yet. But if you can suck it up and drink Bragg, we highly recommend it.

Containing more than 80 minerals including important minerals and elements, including calcium, potassium, and iron, Himalayan Pink salt is a great way to boost the health value of anything you drink. Early in the morning having some Himalayan Pink salt will also help with water retention throughout the day to help you avoid getting dehydrated.

Sherpa is one of our favorite brands of Himalayan Pink salt because it is certified imported and they offer extra fine grain, which makes it easy to dissolve in a drink. Here are a few more Himalayan Pink salt brands that our clients enjoy. Just remember, when purchasing your Himalayan Pink salt, it needs to be certified imported, non-GMO, and organic. Always look for extra fine grain so that mixing is easier- unless you're making margaritas!

Some of the Health Benefits

If you're a fan of Fasting or Intermittent Fasting, then this drink can help you get through the mornings without getting hungry. If you're dieting, Himalayan Pink salt can help you feel more satisfied with smaller meals by increasing your insulin sensitivity. The combination of the Himalayan Pink Salt and Apple Cider Vinegar help your body absorb water and give you nutrients without producing a big insulin response that a meal would. In good unfiltered apple cider vinegar and quality Himalayan pink salt, you'll also find lots of friendly bacteria, enzymes, and minerals. This drink is fantastic for supporting gut health. Aside from the taste, there are no downsides to our Himalayan Pink Salt Cocktail!
