This Brazilian Mounjaro recipe with apple cider vinegar transforms simple ingredients into a powerful natural metabolism booster that I've made part of my morning routine. The combination of tangy apple cider vinegar, warming spices, and optional add-ins creates a drink that supports weight management while delivering a gentle energy boost without caffeine crashes.
I discovered this recipe during a health reset and was amazed at how quickly it became my daily ritual. After just two weeks of consistent use, I noticed improved digestion and more stable energy throughout my day.
Ingredients
- Apple cider vinegar with the mother: crucial for providing beneficial probiotics and enzymes that support gut health
- Fresh ginger: adds a warming kick that stimulates circulation and aids digestion
- Cinnamon powder or stick: helps stabilize blood sugar levels and adds natural sweetness
- Fresh lemon juice: provides vitamin C and helps alkalize the body despite its acidic taste
- Raw honey: optional natural sweetener that adds beneficial enzymes and antioxidants
- Warm water or green tea: creates the perfect base that helps extract all the beneficial compounds
- Unsweetened cranberry juice: optional addition that supports urinary tract health and adds antioxidants
- Psyllium husk: optional fiber boost that supports digestion and creates a feeling of fullness
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
- Begin with either warm water or freshly brewed green tea that has cooled slightly to about 115°F. This temperature is important as it preserves the beneficial enzymes in the honey and apple cider vinegar while still being warm enough to extract flavors from the spices. I prefer using filtered water for the cleanest taste.
- Mix the Flavor Boosters:
- In a large 16oz glass, combine your freshly grated ginger and cinnamon. The ginger should be finely grated to release its oils and medicinal compounds. For cinnamon, either powder or a whole stick works, though powder incorporates more easily. Add fresh lemon juice and stir thoroughly to begin infusing the flavors. This combination creates the aromatic foundation of your drink.
- Add Apple Cider Vinegar:
- Pour in your raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and stir well. The cloudy appearance indicates the presence of the beneficial mother culture. Start with just 1 tablespoon if you're new to ACV drinks and gradually increase to the full 2 tablespoons as your palate adjusts. I find that stirring vigorously helps distribute the strong flavor throughout the drink.
- Sweeten to Taste:
- If desired, add raw honey and stir until completely dissolved. The warmth of the drink helps incorporate the honey easily. Adjust the amount based on your preference and health goals. I often use just a touch of honey on days when the tartness seems too intense for my taste buds.
- Boost with Optional Ingredients:
- For additional benefits, add unsweetened cranberry juice and psyllium husk if desired. The cranberry juice adds a beautiful color and tart flavor while boosting the antioxidant content. If using psyllium, add it last and drink immediately as it thickens rapidly. I stir continuously while adding psyllium to prevent clumping.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Your Mounjaro drink is ready to enjoy either warm or chilled. For a warm drink, consume immediately. For a refreshing version, allow it to cool then refrigerate for up to 24 hours. I like to garnish with a cinnamon stick or slice of lemon for an extra touch of elegance.

The ginger in this recipe is my absolute favorite ingredient because of its versatility and health benefits. My grandmother in Brazil taught me that ginger is nature's warming medicine, perfect for stimulating circulation and aiding digestion. Each time I prepare this drink, I remember her kitchen filled with the aroma of fresh spices and her wisdom about natural remedies.
Best Times to Enjoy
Morning consumption provides the most significant metabolic benefits. I've found that drinking this Brazilian Mounjaro first thing in the morning, about 30 minutes before breakfast, kickstarts my metabolism for the day. The combination of apple cider vinegar and spices seems to wake up my digestive system and provides a natural energy boost that lasts longer than coffee.
Storage and Preparation Tips
While this drink is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare a batch without the psyllium husk and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep it in a glass container with a tight lid to preserve the beneficial properties. I often make a double batch and keep it in a mason jar with measurements marked on the side so I can easily pour my daily serving. The flavor actually develops nicely after the first day as the cinnamon and ginger continue to infuse.
Customizations for Health Goals
The beauty of this Brazilian Mounjaro recipe lies in its adaptability to various health needs. For improved digestion, increase the ginger to 1 teaspoon. For blood sugar management, add a pinch of cayenne pepper which works synergistically with cinnamon. If supporting detoxification is your goal, include the full amount of cranberry juice and add a small handful of fresh mint leaves. During my seasonal cleanse periods, I add a teaspoon of spirulina powder for added nutrients, though be prepared for a change in color and flavor.
Recipe FAQs
- → When is the best time to drink Brazilian Mounjaro?
The Brazilian Mounjaro can be consumed at different times for different benefits: in the morning on an empty stomach to boost metabolism and digestion, 15-30 minutes before meals to help control appetite, or 1-2 hours before bed to support overnight detoxification and digestion.
- → Can I make Brazilian Mounjaro without honey?
Yes, the honey in this Brazilian Mounjaro is completely optional and is only added for sweetness. If you prefer a sugar-free version or are watching your carbohydrate intake, you can simply omit the honey without affecting the drink's functional benefits.
- → What makes Brazilian Mounjaro good for metabolism?
The Brazilian Mounjaro contains several metabolism-boosting ingredients: apple cider vinegar helps regulate blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, ginger increases thermogenesis, cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar levels, and the optional green tea base provides catechins that support fat oxidation.
- → Is it necessary to use apple cider vinegar with 'the mother'?
Using apple cider vinegar with 'the mother' is recommended as it contains beneficial enzymes, proteins, and friendly bacteria that may enhance the drink's health benefits. The 'mother' is the cloudy substance that forms during fermentation and contains most of the beneficial compounds.
- → Can I prepare Brazilian Mounjaro in advance?
You can prepare most of the Brazilian Mounjaro mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, if you're using psyllium husk, it should only be added right before drinking as it thickens very quickly. Also, the fresh ingredients like ginger will provide the most potent benefits when freshly prepared.
- → Why should I use a straw when drinking this?
It's recommended to use a straw when drinking the Brazilian Mounjaro because apple cider vinegar is acidic and can potentially erode tooth enamel with regular consumption. Using a straw helps the liquid bypass your teeth, reducing exposure to the acidity.
