Sparkling ACV Refresher


I am currently obsessed with this apple cider vinegar drink! It sounds weird I know, but trust me...it is wonderfully detoxifying and deliciously refreshing! ACV has so many great health benefits when taken internally, but it's not always pleasant to drink. If you have ever taken an apple cider vinegar "shot" you know what I mean. When you purchase an apple cider vinegar make sure you get a brand that is unfiltered/raw, like Braggs . You can find this brand in most main-stream grocery stores in the "natural foods" section. Other quality brands of ACV are Eden Organics and Spectrum. 



What are some health benefits if Apple Cider Vinegar? 
  • Helps to balance the body's pH levels. 
  • Great for sinus congestion and allergies
  • Can help with heartburn symptoms
  • Helps rid the body of harmful yeast and bacteria
  • Is awesome for overall detoxification
  • A wonderful digestive aid when taken before a meal 
  • ACV has antiviral properties making it a great way to naturally strengthen your immune system
  • Maintaining healthly blood sugar levels
There are many other benefits, but I'll stop there....
