Bombshell Spell

Yesterday, my bestie messaged me and said "hey, do you want to make a bombshell spell with me? it's supposed to speed up my metabolism!" I replied "what the heck is that?" "Why, it's a mix of pineapple juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and agave." "Sure!"
 
Haha, normally, I don't do these cleanses/toxin purging/juice fasts/anything that seems vaguely crazy. But I have been reading about the health benefits of apple cider vinegar lately (heart health, lowering blood sugar levels, feeling fuller). So, with some science behind this, I thought I'd give it a shot.
 
The recipe is super simple, you may even have some of this stuff around (I had the juice and the agave). I used bottled lime juice instead of real limes - for cost and convenience purposes. If you want to use real limes, the recipe calls for the juice of 1/4 lime. Also, you could use straight pineapple juice, or straight apple. But I like this combo. Lastly, you can substitue honey for agave, but I already had agave on hand, so I used that.

I had my first glass this morning and it was delicious. I'm not using it as a meal replacement, so I can't tell you if I feel satisfied by only the juice. However, over the course of the week, we'll see how my metabolism and energy levels are affected. :)
 
 
Let me know if you try it!
