Say a really Good Morning! to your body with this super-tasty, super-refreshing recipe from the Nutrition Twins. (You’ll find the recipe at the end of the post.)
Containing 54% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C PLUS 19% of Calcium PLUS 43% of Manganese required for a healthy body, PLUS the Girls’ secret ingredient, this smoothie is a winner.
Drum roll, please! … … The Twins’ secret ingredient is … Apple Cider Vinegar!
You’ve probably heard that apple cider vinegar can help you lose weight. Small amounts before a meal may help lower your blood sugar. It seems that acetic acid, the main component in vinegar, may interfere with the body’s ability to digest starch; less starch being broken down into calories in the bloodstream could mean a little less fat on your body over time.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to drink gallons of the stuff—there’s great news! It doesn’t take much vinegar—just about two teaspoons.
Note: You are looking for vinegars with 5% acidity, which is most vinegars you’d cook with or use in dressings. Wine vinegars have a smoother taste.
