If clearer skin, great digestion, more energy, reduced bloating, and a better mood sounds good to you, you're going to want to try my new favorite detox morning drink.
If you know me, you know I'm always on the lookout for ways to feel like my healthiest, happiest self as a mom of 4 on the go.
And after years of research and trial and error, I've found a new recipe below that I genuinely look forward drinking every morning that provides the amazing benefits I've listed above. Check it out!
✨ Gut-Glow Hydration Tonic
Ingredients
½ cup unsweetened coconut water
2–3 tbsp Lakewood Aloe Vera Juice
1 tbsp raw ACV (with the mother)
¼ cup unsweetened cranberry juice
Optional: squeeze of honey and cayenne pepper
How to drink:Morning on an empty stomach or mid-afternoon when you feel puffy, foggy, or bloated.
Benefits of Each Ingredient
Lakewood Aloe Vera Juice Benefits
Aloe vera is incredibly soothing for the digestive tract. It helps calm inflammation in the gut lining, supports regular digestion, and improves nutrient absorption.
Benefits include:
Reduces bloating and gut irritation
Supports liver and colon detox pathways
Promotes clearer, more hydrated skin
Gentle support for digestion without stimulation
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Benefits
Raw ACV supports digestion by increasing stomach acid, which helps break down protein and absorb minerals more efficiently.
Benefits include:
Stabilizes blood sugar levels
Reduces cravings and energy crashes
Supports healthy digestion and metabolism
May help reduce bloating when used correctly
ACV is powerful—but timing matters (more on that below).
Unsweetened Cranberry Juice Benefits
Cranberry juice is rich in antioxidants and supports the urinary tract, which is especially important for active women and moms.
Benefits include:
Supports urinary tract health
Helps flush excess estrogen
Anti-inflammatory and anti-aging antioxidants
Supports immune and hormone balance
Look for unsweetened cranberry juice to avoid added sugars.
Coconut Water Benefits
Coconut water provides natural electrolytes without artificial ingredients or excess sugar.
Benefits include:
Supports hydration and adrenal health
Helps regulate cortisol and stress response
Prevents fatigue and dizziness
Supports nervous system regulation
Combined Benefits of This Gut-Glow Drink
When combined, these ingredients support:
Gut healing and digestion
Reduced bloating and inflammation
Clearer, glowing skin
Steady energy without caffeine
Hormone and nervous system balance

This drink works with your body—not against it.
