Have you heard all of the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar daily? Last year I tried adding apple cider vinegar to my green juice once a week. I seriously could not do it. It was ruining my green juice, so I stopped.
Why I started doing this:
I started drinking apple cider vinegar with honey every morning when I wake up. Yes, even before coffee. The funny thing about it is, some mornings I don’t even drink my coffee, or I do not finish my cup. Crazy right? You probably know, I love my morning coffee. The only thing I can come up with is that I must feel full. If you follow me on my Instagram Stories this is probably old news to you.
Other things I have noticed is I am less bloated in my abdominal area. I feel less hungry throughout the day. And I do feel more energized. Even without my coffee. Now, I seriously can not go without it. It’s now part of my morning routine.
Here are some of the health benefits:
Here are some of the health benefits:
- Helps with digestion and constipation
- Helps with bloating
- Helps with joint pain
- Boosts energy
- Drinking the apple cider vinegar and honey can help alkalize the body. This raises the pH level back to its natural state, making it easier to fight off germs and ailments.
How I make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. of Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of Raw Honey
- 1/2 cup of Hot Water
Stir with a spoon and drink 1 cup every morning on an empty stomach. Note: I now drink my Apple Cider Vinegar drink in the evenings before dinner or before bedtime.

Thank you sooooo much for this post! I’m always trying to figure out what combo to do in order to drink that darn ACV!! LOL I will definitely give this one a try. 🙂
Hi Patti,
You are so welcome! I will say I am loving it! 🙂
I just had this today. Do you drink it once a day or before every meal?
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your postts.
That’s great Mercy! Just once a day, first thing in the morning. You are so welcome! 🙂
I do this as well. However, I also do it right before bed. This way just like in the morning your stomach is less full therefore you can actually lose weight or help maintain your weight!! Thanks so much for sharing Amy!!!!
I love this idea, Kim. I will try it at night too. 🙂 Thank you!!
So directions say to drink one cup but recipe is onky with 1/2 cup water. So do you drink 1 recipe or double the recipe for a cup each time? Want to try this. I’ve done ones before that have lemon in them and over time I can’t handle lemon every day. It makes me nauseous
It’s just a 1/2 cup of water. That is all you need for this drink. 🙂
The ACV is also very effective in lowering your Total overall Cholesterol number, it also lowers your Triglycerides to a healthy number along with lowering your LDL (Lowsey Cholesterol), and raises your HDL(High Good Cholesterol). I tell all my Patients whether they have Good Numbers or Bad Numbers on there cholesterol Labwork, to drink this to maintane Good numbers and bring high numbers back into the normal range.. The benefits of ACV are endless, point blank its good for our BODIES!
Im new on your site but i absolutely enjoy reading all your articles, Keep them coming. Have a great week!
You noted that you drink this in the evening now and not in the mornings. Do you drink this ‘only’ in the evening every day now? Can you drink this twice a day or do you recommend only once a day?
Asante!
Just once a day. I used to drink it before my coffee, but not I drink it later in the day or in the evenings.
I just tried it, it was intense but woke me right up ! Thanks for this post. XO
I just discovered your website today while looking up the benefits of my now morning ritual. I had a feeling but didn’t really know that my new morning drink was so popular and recommended by so many health, fitness and diet professionals.
I mix approx 1 tbls organic apple cider vinegar and 1 tbls organic honey with about 6-8 ounces of hot water.
I started out with just the vinegar alone and absolutely could not stand the taste so I added the honey and this made it a very tasty morning drink and as your website reads, it really is a cup full of sass.
It has given me more energy, lessened the pain in my knees and ankles along with my lower back pain. I’ve been drinking this for a little over 1 week and only realized yesterday that my knees don’t hurt when I kneel down to the floor and my ankles haven’t been a bother when I go to bed at night nor is my back giving me problems making it difficult to get out of bed in the morning.
This drink has given me an overall sense of well-being and alertness.
I am glad to have discovered your website and look forward to trying some of your recipes.
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle.
Hi,can i use any apple cider vinegar brand?
Yes, you definitely can.
I’m not sure at what temp the qualities of raw honey are affected, but I never put raw honey into anything while it’s very hot.
Do you think this is just as effective if you use more water?
Overall, acv is just an amazing creation!
Yes, you could just use a little more water instead. Or wait until the water cools down then add your honey. I hope this helps. Thank you.
