Pink Salt Weight Loss Recipe
A zesty, metabolism-boosting detox drink that uses mineral-rich pink Himalayan salt for a refreshing, low-calorie twist on healthy eating.
Instructions
- Prepare the water. Pour filtered water into a one-quart pitcher. If you prefer it chilly, pop it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes first.
- Add the salt. Sprinkle in the pink Himalayan salt and stir vigorously until fully dissolved—about 30 seconds. Tip: If you see tiny grains, keep stirring until clear.
- Squeeze in citrus. Juice the lemon and lime directly into the pitcher (catching seeds!). A citrus press makes this a breeze, but a fork or hand-crank juicer works fine too.
- Sweeten lightly. Add raw honey or maple syrup if you like a hint of sweetness—just enough to balance the tartness. Stir until the sweetener blends in.
- Garnish and infuse. Toss in the mint or basil sprig. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so flavors marry. Give a final swirl before pouring.
- Serve and sip. Pour over ice cubes if you’re in a hurry, or enjoy it at room temperature—either way, you’ll feel that gentle tingle of minerals waking up your palate.
Notes
I’ve tested this recipe using spring water, tap water, and even coconut water—each yields a slightly different mouthfeel. My personal favorite is filtered spring water for crispness. If your salt seems grainy, switch to a brand labeled “ultra-fine.” And here’s a tip: make it the night before if mornings are too hectic—keep it in the fridge and skip straight to sipping.
