While summertime often calls for iced mojitos and blended margaritas, it's worth treating your digestion to a summer break as well.

Too many sugary alcoholic beverages can aggravate inflammatory responses deep within in the gut, while also throwing off stomach acid secretion.

Try this digestion healing summer mocktail next time you're craving something fizzy and tart!

Ginger and turmeric are nutrient-packed roots that naturally fight against inflammation.

Apple cider vinegar contains unique acids that help to eliminate certain toxins in our bodies, while also clearing up chronic reflux when taken with each meal. Cayenne packs a punch for our taste buds, but its power stimulates muscle movement in the intestines, helping nutrients to be absorbed.

  • 3 Tbsp. organic raw apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. organic lemon or lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

  • dash of cayenne (optional)
