Morning Routine for a Healthy Gut
You know I love a little morning witchcraft.. a ritual that’s as grounding as it is transformative. If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried it all: green juices, lemon water, weird powders with names no one can pronounce. But my current obsession? Simple, natural, and ridiculously effective.
First and foremost, I chug a large cup of water first thing after waking up. You may not realize it, but we sweat sooooo much while we're sleeping! Starting the day out dehydrated is a no-go for me and that goes for my skin as well. I head to the bathroom and splash water on my face, neck, and chest and then follow up with a quick skincare routine. Then I head to the kitchen, which is undoubtedly where the magic happens.
Here's what I take on an empty stomach every morning to boost my energy, digestion, and overall glow-up.
Sea Moss Gel: The Ocean’s Botox
Sea moss is loaded with 92 of the 102 minerals your body craves. Think glowing skin, better digestion, and stronger hair. I take a spoonful straight up or swirl it into my warm morning water. Sea moss is like a collagen boost straight from the sea—no syringes necessary.
Sauerkraut for Gut Health
Fermented foods are the ultimate gut-healers. Sauerkraut isn’t just for hot dogs, babes—it’s a probiotic powerhouse that soothes your gut, reduces bloating, and gives your immune system a kiss on the forehead. A couple of forkfuls in the morning? My gut microbiome is thriving.
Benefits of Coconut Probiotic Yogurt
I’m picky about what touches my lips, and probiotic coconut yogurt is divine. Dairy-free, packed with good bacteria, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat. It balances your gut and gives your skin that lit-from-within look without the bloat. Trust me, your digestion will thank you.
Apple Cider Vinegar in the Morning
Skip the Bragg’s ACV if it comes with Apeel-coated apples (we don’t do questionable coatings here). Instead, go raw and organic. I mix warm water with ACV, ginger, and local honey—it’s gut-soothing, metabolism-boosting magic in a cup. Sip it slowly, feel your body wake up, and say goodbye to sluggish mornings.
You might be thinking, "I already have honey I bought from the store, why does it have to be local?" Well, the benefit of incorporating local honey into your diet is that the bees visit native plants and flowers and the pollen makes its way into the honey they make. By eating local honey, you help to microdose yourself on the plants and flowers in your area, helping you to become less likely to be affected by allergies. Plus, supporting your local economy is always a good idea.
Sip Chlorophyll Water Throughout the Day
I keep a bottle of chlorophyll water with me all day. It’s like an internal shower for your system—cleansing, energizing, and even helping your skin look clearer. Plus, it makes me feel like a nymph who thrives off sunlight and moonbeams. It’s hydration with benefits.
The Best Morning Ritual
I’m not here to sell you another 10-step morning routine that feels like a chore. This is about intention. Nourishing yourself in the most natural, nutrient-rich way possible, so your body rewards you with vibrant energy, a flatter stomach, and skin that looks like it’s been kissed by the gods.
Try this for a week. Sea moss, sauerkraut, probiotic yogurt, and my magic drink—and I swear you’ll feel like you’ve unlocked the cheat code to being that girl: glowing, thriving, and unapologetically radiant.
