If you’ve finally been convinced to give Master Cleanse a try, you need to gather the Master Cleanse ingredients. The things needed for this detox diet really aren’t that hard to find. You can actually find some of the items inside your pantry.

So what do you need to write on your shopping list?

fresh lemons

Yes, fresh lemons. Without lemons, this diet wouldn’t be called the Lemonade Diet, would it? It is the most important ingredient. Without it, you can’t even start this diet. Well, you can probably use lime, but that’s another topic.

Organic lemons are the best lemons you can buy. No pesticides are used to grow the organic lemons. Therefore, it is our first choice. However, if you really can’t find the organic ones, you can use regular lemons. Just make sure you never use canned or powdered lemon juice.

If you plan to drink twelve glasses of lemonade juice per day, you will need 6 lemons per day. If you are going to do the cleaning for 10 days, you will need 60 lemons. Now, that’s a lot!

Maple syrup

There are different grades of maple syrup on the market, but you need Grade B maple syrup for this diet. Be sure to check the label to make sure it is grade B and not grade A. Don’t take it, you need the real maple syrup and not the maple flavored ones. Pancake syrup or maple flavored syrup contains only a small amount of maple syrup.

Cayenne pepper

I know this ingredient is a bit weird. But you need a pinch of cayenne for your lemonade juice. This is not repulsive as it sounds. In fact, it makes lemonade juice delicious. However, it is not added just for flavor. It is an important ingredient as it warms the body. Provides additional energy and helps break up mucus.

Salt

You need sea salt for the Master Cleanse diet. Please note this salt is not for lemonade juice but for salt water washing. Never buy iodized or table salt. You have to use non-iodized salt.

laxative tea

Every night during the Master Cleanse, a laxative tea should be taken. Help people to remove. Senna tea is highly recommended. However, this tea causes stomach aches for some people. If you really don’t need help with a bowel movement, you can look for senna tea that is made up of 25% leaves and 75% pods. The pods are less potent, so this type of tea would not be too hard on the stomach.

Water

The only rule for the water used in Master Cleanse is that fluoridated water should not be used. Also, it should be at room temperature.
