The Complete Master Cleanse Recipe

with one comment

Basically the master cleanse is a diet which requires you to drink mostly a lemonade cocktail for the duration of the master cleanse program. As the recipe for the master cleanse diet is a very simple and easy one to formulate. All that you need to do is to consume at least 60 ounces of lemonade per day but limited to 120 ounces. You also need to consume a lot of water while following the master cleanse. The reason is because the master cleanse acts as a laxative which removes wastes and toxin from your body. This will actually cause you to be dehydrated. To avoid dehydration, you should drink an equivalent of your weight in water. This means for example if you weight 150 pounds, you should consume 150 ounces of water.

If you want to make a glass of master cleanse, you will need 10 ounces of filtered water, two table spoon of maple syrup, two tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. However, if you prefer to make 60 ounces at one go, you will need 60 ounces of filtered water, 12 tablespoon of maple syrup, 12 tablespoon of lemon juice and teaspoon of cayenne pepper. One small tip is to use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of canned or processed one.

When preparing for master cleanse lemonade, there are some important things to note. Firstly, use organic grade B maple syrup and do not use sugar filled syrup. Don’t underestimate Cayenne pepper as they break down mucus and promote a better blood flow. Furthermore, Cayenne pepper is rich in vitamins B and C. If you want to add more flavor to your lemonade, use decaffeinated tea as caffeine ones tend to constrict blood vessels.

Use the laxative twice daily, together withe master cleanse, you will get the full effectiveness. Just make sure to consume lots of water to make up for the water loss.
