I don’t encourage cheating on Keto or low carb lifestyle but if you slipped and ate a lot of carbs, this drink will be your friend. I saw this drink in a keto FB page which is being promoted as a carb buster and metabolism enhancer. The video how to do make this was very convincing because all the ingredients that make up the drink are all potent and known for its nutritional powers. It is not the best tasting drink though because of strong taste of ACV and pumpkin spice is something that is not use often in the Philippines. I actually had a hard time looking for a pumpkin spice so I just make my own. I try to drink this first thing in the morning. I use a stainless steel straw after cooling it down the tea a bit to protect my teeth from the strong acid of the ACV.
Ingredients
1 teabag (I use green tea bag or turmeric powder)
1tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
1-3 T ACV
1T coconut oil (I use MCT)
Pumpkin spice Recipe
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
