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.
To get the maximum effectiveness of this drink, you must high quality ingredients. The cranberry juice must be 100% pure juice – no sugar or other juices added. Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar comes with the “mother” in the bottle and is considered the best apple cider vinegar. You can use the juice of fresh lemons of course. However I strongly recommend that you get a bottle of Italian Volcano organic lemon juice, which has the juice of 40 fresh organic lemons. You can order it at Amazon.

Also, can I change the quantity? For example, if I wanted extra cranberry juiyand maybe double up on the acv?
Yes no problem. I do think too much ACV is not good so limit it to 1-2 tablespoons per day. I like pure cranberry juice and sometimes increase that too.
Can you drink it warm
Thanks
Hi Noreen,
Yes I have done it. I added the ACV, cranberry juice and lemon juice to a pot of brewed, hot green tea. I enjoyed it but it is an acquired taste. I also used the leftover teas (since I did not drink the whole pot) for ice tea.
Let me know if you tru it and like it.
Hi, I wonder if I can make a week jug at a time and just keep it in the fridge until the next morning so that I don’t have to mix the 3 ingredients again. Will it still have the same effect or do I have to mix the 3 every morning?
Great question! Yes you can make a weekly jug! That is the beauty of apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. They are both great for that purpose. Enjoy!
I am wondering if the vinegar should be stirred up, thus including “the mother” or should it be left to settle and not use the settlings. I look forward to your response.
Hi Laura,
You do not need to stir up the “mother” each time you use the apple cider vinegar. It won’t hurt it if you do, but it is not necessary for effectiveness. Thanks for asking!
