The mermaid detox lemonade is one of the best things you can drink! If you want to be overly healthy but also look cute on Pinterest then this is the recipe for you. What’s great about this is that it combines the amazing benefits of the trendy ACV drink but adds in the unreal super duper food of spirulina. I also love it as it boosts my energy so much and I have cut back on the coffee I drink significantly.
If you just want the standard Apple cider vinegar drink recipe and benefits then I have the tastiest possible ACV recipe if you click here or there is the enhanced super duper food ACV recipe. As you probably know ACV supposedly helps everything including weight loss, healthier skin, blood sugar, heart health, nutrition boost, body detox, immune system, digestion, energy, freshens breath, protects against cancer and more!
Adding spirulina is like combing Batman with Superman into something we haven’t seen before… yet. I don’t want to say you will run faster and jump further but I won’t say you won’t.
While there isn’t a plethora of scientific data supporting ACV there are testimonials abound of its benefits so why not give it a whirl.
Here is a good value option to buy ACV on Amazon!
As with all juicing drinks I like to make a batch and store it in a jar for the week so I don’t have to make it daily and it is just ready for me to pour from my fridge. The hardest thing with diets is sticking to them as we know so making it for a week will make sure you don’t have an excuse to take your morning medicine.
Here is a breakdown of the benefits of each ingredient
Spirulina
It is apparently the superest of all foods. It is a micro-algae that can be a protein supplement and contains amino acids, B vitamins, beta-carotene, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, vitamin E, high in antioxidants, minerals, chlorophyll and phycocyanobilin.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Helps everything including weight loss, healthier skin, blood sugar, heart health, nutrition boost, body detox, immune system, digestion, energy, freshens breath, protects against cancer and more!
Lemon Juice
Supports weight loss , promotes hydration, good source of vitamin C, improves skin quality, aids digestion, freshens breath as well as detoxes.
Raw Honey
Is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients, it’s immune boosting as well as cancer fighting among other great benefits!
Ginger
Boosts immunity, fights infection, soothes the stomach, counters acid reflux and is an anti inflammatory.
Warning
Be careful to only add 1 tbsp or at most 2 per cup of water due to the strong acidity of the vinegar. It is extremely acidic, can wear down tooth enamel and drinking it straight up can burn you the whole way down or potentially induce acid reflux if you have this issue and you take it before bed.
Drinking it through a straw isn’t a bad idea if you are drinking it often and want to protect your teeth. The best time to take it is when you wake up to get the day going as long as it doesn’t burn your empty stomach too bad, around noon and then again late afternoon or before dinner.
