Dr. Oz Weight Loss Drink (Grapefruit, ACV and Honey Slimdown Drink)
Dr. Oz weight loss drink is a three ingredient pre-meal drink made from grapefruit juice, apple cider vinegar and honey, popularly attributed to the Dr. Oz Show and used as a portion-control ritual before meals.
Ingredients
- 1 cup grapefruit juice 100 percent juice, unsweetened, not a grapefruit cocktail blend
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar raw, unfiltered, with the mother
- 1 tsp raw honey
- Ice optional, to serve
- Cold water optional splash, to taste if too tart
Instructions
- Pour the grapefruit juice into a glass or small mason jar.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and stir well, since ACV doesn't fully dissolve into juice on its own.
- Add the honey and stir again until fully mixed. Honey dissolves faster in room-temperature juice than ice-cold juice.
- Taste and add a splash of cold water if the tartness or vinegar bite is too sharp.
- Add ice if serving cold, or drink it as-is.
- Sip it 15 to 20 minutes before a meal rather than drinking it all at once.

Notes
Top tip 1: Use a straw to reduce contact between the ACV and your tooth enamel.
Top tip 2: Start with 1 teaspoon of ACV if you're new to it, then work up to 2.
Top tip 3: Shake or stir your ACV bottle before measuring, since the mother settles at the bottom.
Storage: best mixed fresh. The grapefruit juice and ACV can be premixed and refrigerated for a few days without the honey; stir in fresh honey right before drinking. Not recommended for freezing.
This drink is not a substitute for medical advice. Grapefruit can interact with several common medications; check with a pharmacist or doctor before regular use if you take prescription medication.
