So this is my first post in my veg blog, and I'm super excited. To start off, I am a college girl living on my own, cooking in a tiny kitchen in my bachelor apartment, living on a small budget and making delicious vegetarian food.
I am creating this blog to post articles, recipes, and tips to spend less and try new things.
For my first post, I would like to talk about my absolute love for apple cider vinegar. I put a teaspoon or two into a glass of ice water in the morning and drink it with my breakfast.
I find if you are an orange juice lover like I am then switching from orange juice to this will reduce your sugar levels at breakfast. Also, it is like a little mini digestive cleanse every morning!
I actually find myself craving apple cider vinegar when I wake up now. It takes awhile to get used to the taste, and sometimes I have to mix it with a slice of lemon or lime, but I promise you will feel great.
Some things to know when purchasing ACV:
- Go organic! A no name version of this stuff really won't do the trick, and even the organic type is inexpensive when you consider you are only going to be consuming a teaspoon a day (it's around 5 bucks for 355ml)
- Look for ACV with the "mother" enzyme. "The mother is the dark, cloudy substance in the ACV formed from naturally occurring pectin and apple residues - it appears as molecules of protein connected in strand-like chains. The presence of the mother shows that the best part of the apple has not been destroyed. Vinegars containing the mother contain enzymes and minerals that other vinegars may not contain due to overprocessing, filtration and overheating." http://bragg.com/products/acvFAQ.html
- Some brands I would recommend are Bragg and Omega Nutrition
