A very popular energizing detox elixir at the recent Gracious Living Lifestyle Detox Retreat in the Bahamas with 21 students from around the world.
(Next 7 Day Gracious Living Lifestyle Detox Retreat is in gorgeous Nicaragua Nov 28-Dec 5, 2015 with Ergogenics Nutrition Ambassador Grace Van Berkum and Superfood Nutrition Guru Ronnie Landis. Click HERE.)
This recipe is very powerful, energizing, and cleansing. Ka-pow! Don’t drink too much! I serve it as a shot or 1/2 cup serving max.
In blender: (Depending on the size of your blender, this will be about 6-10 servings. You can store in fridge for use throughout the week. Make sure to shake up before serving.)

1 tbsp maca powder. (Maca powder helps to reduce stress, balance the hormones, and energize the body). Get 15% off HERE.
1 tbsp lucuma powder (low glycemic, high antioxidant sweetener) Get 15% off HERE.
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (thermogenic, fat-burning)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon recommended, magnesium rich)
2-3 cups of water
Blend and serve as a shot or half cup portion.
If I don’t have time to blend, I put a little bit of each powder in a mason jar and bring it with me on my travels. When ready, I simply add water, shake it up, and sip for energy!
Variations:
*Add 1 drop of “DoTerra Slim & Sassy” (1 drop only! It is very strong. Also, do not use essential oils that are not food-grade or you can get sick! DoTerra offers food-grade essential oils).
*You can add ice and a tad more natural sweetener for a yummy plant powered, detox smoothie.
*Heat up some unsweetened coconut milk and add it to the detox elixir, then top with goji berries for a delicious, warm, cleansing, energizing drink. Click HERE for more recipes.
