If your algorithm is anything like mine, you’ve probably seen this Brazilian Mounjaro recipe floating around — and not just once. It’s trending hard, especially the “3-ingredient” version that’s popping up on wellness TikTok, Reddit threads, and let’s be honest, every Pinterest board labeled weight loss hacks I might actually try.
Why the hype? Well, it’s partly the name (borrowed from a buzzy diabetes/weight loss drug), but this version is a natural, homemade drink built from ingredients your grandma would actually recognize. Think: apple cider vinegar, lemon, and ginger — the holy trinity of pantry-based health boosts.
As someone who’s coached women toward real, sustainable wellness (read: no fads, just food that fuels), I love when trends actually align with my progress over perfection philosophy. So I dug into the science behind this drink — and gave it a Clean Cooking with Caitlin twist.
Let’s break it down.
What Is the Brazilian Mounjaro Recipe?
At its core, the Brazilian Mounjaro recipe is a simple, sippable tonic made with three everyday ingredients:
- Raw apple cider vinegar (ACV) – rich in acetic acid, which has been shown to support blood sugar regulation, reduce appetite, and even support fat metabolism.
- Fresh lemon juice – packed with vitamin C and digestive enzymes to help you absorb nutrients more effectively.
- Ginger – a powerhouse for inflammation and digestion that may also gently boost metabolism (hello thermogenesis).
Together, they form a metabolism-supporting, digestion-aiding, bloat-fighting wellness shot that’s way more palatable than the description makes it sound.
You can drink it warm or cold, tweak the taste to your liking, and make it ahead as part of your meal prep. Bonus: it’s naturally plant-based, budget-friendly, and requires zero gadgets (unless a spoon counts).
But Wait — What About the Fancy Extras?
Because we’re a little extra over here (in a totally lovable way), I’ve added some optional boosters to turn this humble drink into a full-on wellness ritual. Here’s what you can mix in if you’re feeling fancy:
- Butterfly Pea Flower – Not just gorgeous (it turns deep blue, then purple when lemon hits it), but full of anthocyanins — antioxidants that support brain health and reduce oxidative stress. Also makes a killer mocktail when served over ice with mint.
- Yerba Mate – A gentle, jitter-free caffeine source from South America, known to boost focus and metabolism without the crash. I like to steep it separately and add a spoonful to the mix.
- Camu Camu – This tiny berry from the Amazon packs more vitamin C than oranges. Just a pinch of camu camu powder gives your immune system a high-five and adds a bright tang.

Quick science mom moment: room temp or warm water helps everything dissolve better (especially that sticky honey or syrup) and is easier on your digestive system first thing in the morning. Cold water can slow things down — and let’s face it, we don’t need our guts hitting snooze.
