This is the best healthy drink for pregnancy and for overall health. I drink this almost every day. It is a great healthy drink that I enjoy when I’m pregnant, nursing or just for overall health!
This drink is very hydrating with lots of water, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Plus a lot of extra goodness added in!
Ingredients for Healthy Drink for Pregnancy
- Water – The ultimate hydrator!
- Apple Cider Vinegar – with “the mother”
- Lemon Juice – fresh or bottled. I like this one.
- CALM – Magnesium drink mix. I like this one with added calcium.
- Trace Minerals – This is optional but I love adding as many goodies as I can. I also use an Alexa Pure Water Filter so I like to add minerals back into my diet.
- Vitamin D drops
- Ginger – I usually use ground ginger but ginger juice would be a good choice as well.
- Baobab – I buy mine from Trim Healthy Mama

Why I call it my “Sunshine” drink.
I loving call this beverage my “Sunshine” drink because of all of the goodies I add to it. Especially the vitamin D! A lot of people are probably deficient in vitamin D so this is an amazing thing to add to your diet. Vitamin D is a mood enhancing vitamin and I know I was deficient in it in my previous pregnancies, so I always make sure to add it in wherever I can.
My children had gotten used to me drinking “Good Girl Moonshine” but of course always shortened it to “moonshine”. So, I felt like Sunshine was a much better name for one of my favorite drinks that I like to drink during pregnancy and breastfeeding!
How to Make Drink
- Add all ingredients to a quart sized jar
- Add a few pieces of ice (optional)
- Fill up the rest of the jar with water (I use my Alexa Pure filtered water)
- Stir up until all ingredients are dissolved/incorporated.
- Sip throughout the day and enjoy!
Drinking vinegar or lemon juice before meals can help stabilize your blood sugar during meals so this is an excellent drink to just have and sip on throughout the day or right before a meal. I feel like it’s always important to stabilize your blood sugar whether you struggle with blood sugar levels or not. Especially during pregnancy! I have been lucky enough to not have gestational diabetes during any of my pregnancies but that doesn’t stop me from taking steps to make the healthiest choices that I can.

Notes
1. Ask your doctor what amounts of vitamin D would be good for you. I know some will recommend more and some would recommend less depending on your own personal levels.
2. You can add a sweetener of your choice if you like things sweeter. I have added a little bit of stevia before, but I prefer it not as sweet.
3. If just starting out this drinking this drink, start slowly on the amount of magnesium. It can act as a laxative. So, give yourself time to let your body adjust to higher levels of magnesium!
4. You do not have to use filtered water, but this is my preferred water choice which is why I like adding mineral drops back into my everyday drink. Feel free to use whichever water you have available.
