If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know we love drinking our apple cider vinegar with warm water in the morning.
Why? Studies have shown that apple cider vinegar has some pretty marvellous potential as a blood sugar balancer and a fat fighter. It also tastes surprisingly sweet (okay, maybe you have to quit sugar first to get this effect!).
We’re such big fans of apple cider vinegar that we’ve even developed our own (complete with the mother culture, full of healthy bacteria). It can definitely be an acquired taste though, so if you’re not up to drinking it straight just yet, here are three more ACV hacks we love!
1. Zingy salad dressings.
You love balsamic vinegar, but not the added sugar that comes with it. No problem! Apple cider vinegar makes a perfect salad dressing. Simply add a dash to a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, along with extras like lemon juice or Dijon mustard.

2. Perfect pickles.
The best thing about becoming an adult is that you can finally enjoy pickles! We love them for the crunchy, juicy, tangy goodness they bring to any meal. Make your own pickles with apple cider vinegar to skip the sugar which is often added to the store-bought kind.
3. Non-toxic cleaning.
Apple cider vinegar is antifungal, so it makes a great non-toxic cleaner for very basic jobs. One of our favourite at-home tricks is to soak our sponges in ACV until they smell fresh as a daisy.
Need to spruce things up in the kitchen? You could win a hamper of our new I Quit Sugar goodies, along with some gorgeous activewear from Female for Life.
To be in the running, all you have to do is cook up something creative using our new IQS product range (try the apple cider vinegar, maybe!) and upload a photo on Instagram. Tag us in your creations using #IQSathome and @iquitsugar.
