🍎 3-Ingredient Colon Cleanse Juice

This drink combines the pectin from apples, the acidity of lemon, and the mucilaginous fiber of chia seeds to support digestive regularity and reduce bloating.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes

  • Wait Time: 10 minutes (for chia seeds)

  • Yield: 1 Serving

  • Dietary Info: Vegan, Gluten-Free, Raw

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 large organic apple (Cored and chopped; keep the skin on for maximum fiber)

  • 1 fresh lemon (Juiced)

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 cup filtered water

👩‍🍳 Detailed Instructions

  1. Prep the Produce: Wash the apple thoroughly. Core it and chop it into small chunks. Squeeze the juice from the lemon, ensuring no seeds fall in.

  2. Blend: Add the apple chunks, lemon juice, chia seeds, and water into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.

  3. The “Set” Phase: Pour the juice into a glass and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. This is a crucial step—it allows the chia seeds to absorb water and create a gel-like consistency that is easier on the digestive tract.

  4. Stir & Drink: Give the mixture a quick stir to redistribute the seeds and drink immediately.

💡 Consumption Guide

  • Frequency: For a focused “cleanse,” drink once daily for 5 consecutive days. For maintenance, 2–3 times per week is sufficient.

  • Best Time to Drink: Many prefer drinking this on an empty stomach in the morning to “wake up” the digestive system, followed by a large glass of plain water.

  • Storage: It is best consumed fresh. If you must save it, keep it in an airtight jar in the fridge for no more than 12 hours (the texture will thicken significantly over time).

⚖️ Why These Ingredients?

  • Apple: Contains pectin, a soluble fiber that acts as a prebiotic and helps sweep the digestive tract.

  • Lemon: High in vitamin C and citric acid, which can help stimulate bile production to assist in fat digestion.

  • Chia Seeds: A powerhouse of omega-3s and fiber; they can hold up to 10x their weight in water, helping to keep the colon hydrated and moving.

⚠️ A Note on Safety

When increasing fiber intake significantly (like adding chia seeds), it is essential to increase your water intake throughout the rest of the day. Without enough water, high fiber can occasionally cause temporary bloating or constipation rather than relieving it.
