This is one of my favorite ways to start my morning. I’ve never been one who wants to start my day with coffee. I know, you’re thinking I’m crazy. I love coffee, but I love my coffee midmorning or after lunch. In the morning I love this cleansing detox drink.
I have mornings where I get going and forget to drink a glass of water. And pretty soon it’s 10:00 and I haven’t had a drop of water. It doesn’t happen a lot but it sure does happen. One way I can prevent that is by gearing myself up for this delicious morning drink. It tastes great, makes me feel super hydrated and know I’m starting my day really well.
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice or organic pure lemon juice
1-2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (more or less to taste)
stevia, to taste
dash of ground cinnamon
dash of ground ginger
small dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
dash of pink salt (for adrenal health and electrolytes)
Large Drinking Glass, filled with water
Directions
- In a large glass or quart sized mason jar combine all of the ingredients, fill your glass with water and stir to combine
- Best to drink in the morning, but really is good anytime of the day

Thanks, Dr. Meghan, for this recipe! I have been drinking a version of this, minus the spices, for over a year now & never feel quite the same when I miss it. I just tried your recipe & will definitely be adding the cinnamon, ginger, pink salt, & cayenne to my daily detox drink. Thanks again!
My pleasure Christine! And I can’t wait for you to add the other goodies to the drink. I’m addicted to it!
This is perfect to drink first thing in the morning before eating anything. I will try this out.
