As anyone who has been around me for five minutes knows, I’m going to Hawaii in May! Hawaii is my happy place. And I love to live in my bikini but after having two babies, I will admit, I’ve been feeling a little self-conscious about sporting a bathing suit in public.
To get ready for Hawaii, I’ve been working out and eating healthier, and thanks to my friends at Marukan® Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, adding a little detox magic to the mix. Over the last month, I’ve been participating in the Marukan Apple Cider Vinegar 24-Day Challenge and overall, I’m feeling great. I have more energy and my mood has really picked up!
The challenge asked health-seekers to add just 1 ounce of Marukan ACV daily to their diet for 24 days and then share how they feel with a 60-second video testimonial, which you can watch on my YouTube.
Participants can take a 1-ounce shot of the Marukan Organic Apple Cider Vinegar or Marukan Organic Apple Cider & Rice Vinegar Drink Blend products by themselves or mixed in a smoothie, drink, or other recipe. The Drink Blend can even be consumed straight from your glass. Marukan offers a number of original ACV recipes on its blog as well as a printable Marukan ACV 24-Day Challenge Calendar featuring recipes, serving tips and ACV trivia for each of the 24 days.
My favorite go-to recipe is the Marukan Blueberry Apple Cider Vinegar Smoothie, which I tend to use more as a base or a guide than a recipe. For example, I almost never add spinach because I gave up buying spinach and convincing myself to eat it before it goes bad. I also like to add coconut oil instead of almond butter. It gives the smoothie a real tropical feel – like sunbathing on the Hawaiian coastline.
Made from fresh-pressed apples grown in the U.S., both Marukan apple cider vinegar products include the Mother of Vinegar and are raw, unfiltered, gluten-free, and fat-free, as well as certified organic, Non-GMO, and Kosher. They are now available at grocery stores, specialty health and natural food retailers nationwide, and on Amazon.com.
