1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil đź«’
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice 🍋
A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Directions:
Start by squeezing fresh lemon juice into a small bowl. If you're using bottled lemon juice, make sure it’s 100% pure with no added sugars or preservatives.
Measure one tablespoon of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil’s richness in polyphenols and healthy monounsaturated fats is key to the benefits of this drink.
Combine the lemon juice and olive oil in a glass. Stir well to blend them together.
(Optional) If the taste is too strong, you can add a splash of warm water to dilute the mixture.
Drink this on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Let the healing power of this natural drink work its magic!
Serving and Storage Tips:
This drink is best served fresh. The active compounds in both the olive oil and lemon juice provide the most benefits when consumed immediately.
Drink it right after preparing to reap the full benefits of the antioxidants and nutrients.
Store any leftovers in a cool, dark place for no more than a day. However, it’s best to make the drink fresh daily for optimal results.
You can pair this drink with a light, healthy breakfast to continue your morning wellness routine.
