I want to recommend Good Girl Moonshine.
For years, it’s been the trend to carry along a water bottle or favorite drink wherever you go. Healthy All-Day-Sipping is a good habit to establish and easy enough to do.
It doesn’t matter if I am out running errands, exercising, working at home or writing the blog — it does what it is supposed to do:
1.) I am less hungry at meals
2.) More satisfied between meals
3.) Gives staying power and alert mental focus in the afternoon when I’m usually sleepy
Trim Healthy Mama Plan is one of my favorite resources. Sisters Pearl and Serene discuss how you can use foods that work with your body, not against it.
You will discover the secrets of hormone balance, and healthy, natural, and sustainable weight management. It contains over 250 recipes and tips, plus it’s a fun and an engaging read.
It’s comforting to sip Good Girl Moonshine as I work because I know I am doing something great for my body. Good Girl Moonshine is a satisfying blend of spicy ginger and cinnamon, the sweet tart flavor of ACV, and raw honey.
Is Good Girl Moonshine a Sports Drink?
Good Girl Moonshine could actually an electrolyte-rich sports drink just by adding a second big pinch of unrefined salt such as Celtic or Himalayan.
It will give you an extra edge at the cellular level right after a cardiovascular workout.
My Version Good Girl Moonshine Ingredients:
- Fill a quart-sized canning jar with 1/2 cup of warm water and add approx. 2 tsp. raw honey. Thoroughly dissolve by stirring. Original THM recipe calls for a few shakes of stevia to taste.
- Add 2 TBSP (to taste) of raw apple cider vinegar (preferably organic)
- Add 1 tsp (to taste) of ground ginger
- Add 1//4 – 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
- Add a pinch of Himalayan sea salt for electrolytes and trace minerals
- Tighten on the lid and shake vigorously to mix. Fill to over half with ice and top with cold water. Sip through the day, aiming to finish before dinner.
- Optional: Add turmeric (and black pepper for absorption) for super health benefits.
That’s it!
And once you discover the ratios of spices that you like, mix up a little jar with them pre-mixed. You can also make a concentrate with all the ingredients, (except water!) and take it to work in a small bottle to mix up there.
And lastly, you can change it up by using different herbal teas instead of water.
Note: I am very particular to keep my teeth rinsed with fresh water to keep from having prolonged contact of acids (ACV, added lemon juice, and sugars) with your teeth. It may seem laborious to have a second bottle of plain water, but it’s worth it!
{Fun change-ups: a handful of frozen berries or a dash of lemon juice to punch up the detox value}.

Cinnamon and Raw Honey – a Powerful Duo according to NaturalNews:
If you are worried about what seems to be a lot of sugar, do some research. LiveStrong cites studies that show that honey and cinnamon have several positive effects in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and may reduce blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
But, please read more for your self and don’t take my word for it. We personally only use raw, local honey.

God designed our bodies to be able to digest and utilize His natural foods when we eat in moderation. When we eat processed foods, we do not get His best for us. I have decided to trust His wisdom in this area by sticking to real, whole foods and spices.
