detoxifying lemon, cranberry & sea buckthorn chilled elixir



my favorite refreshing poolside drink as of late. it is so detoxifying, purifying and energizing...plus it tastes amazing!


-2 c RO water (or any pure, filtered or spring water)
-1/2 c fresh lemon juice (cleanses the liver and improves digestion)
-1 c pure cranberry juice (packed with flavonoids, enzymes, and organic acids which have an emulsifying effect on stubborn fat deposits in the lymphatic system. especially effective for cellulite!)
-1/2 c sea buckthorn juice (amazing for the skin! vitamins, flavonoids, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, you name it! has an impressive array of every essential fatty acid. contains omega 3, 6 & 9 as well as the rare omega-7 which help tremendously with inflammation)
-1/4 c fresh ginger juice (warming and strengthening for the digestive system)
-2 T apple cider vinegar (feeds probiotics in the gut. helps dissolve blockages in lymph, improves fat metabolism, lowers cholesterol and decreases fat storage. also amazing skin detoxifier)
-1 T cinnamon (belly fat burner and blood sugar controller)
-2 t msm powder (improves skin health and complexion, necessary for collagen production, improves flexibility & joints, detoxifies the body, strengthens hair and nails, increases energy, accelerates healing, anti-inflammatory)
-stevia or raw honey to taste 
3 drops grapefruit oil (diuretic, fat melter, stimulant, antiseptic, lymphatic mover, disinfectant..to name a few)
3 drops geranium oil (amazing for women's health and healing)
pinch of cayenne (warming, detoxifying, blood cleanser)


-add everything to a large mason jar and shake it up well. you may need to adjust certain ingredients to your liking. store in fridge. sip in the morning, sip at night, sip at work, sip by the pool, you're going to love it!
*be sure to buy all ingredients organic when possible! a lot of the hard to find ingredients, like sea buckthorn juice, i buy online...mostly at amazon.com!
