Pink Salt Trick

Be the first to review!

Pink Salt Trick is a quick, no-cook wellness-style drink made with water, pink Himalayan salt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper. It has a sharp, salty, tangy, and spicy flavor, so it is best adjusted with extra water if it tastes too strong. Since this drink is high in salt and quite spicy, it works better as a “small routine drink” recipe rather than something to promote with strong health or weight-loss claims.

Notes

Go easy with the salt, especially if you already eat a lot of salty foods.
Apple cider vinegar is very acidic, so it’s best diluted in water.
Cayenne pepper makes this drink very spicy, so you can start with a small pinch and add more if you like heat.
People with a sensitive stomach, reflux, ulcers, high blood pressure, kidney concerns, or anyone on a sodium-restricted diet should check with a healthcare professional before drinking this regularly.

Serving Suggestion

Some people drink this in the morning before eating or at night before bed, but it’s best not to overdo it. Keep drinking plenty of plain water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
