Sometimes the simplest rituals are the most grounding, and this bright, mineral-forward drink is a perfect example. Fresh lemon juice brings a clean tartness, while a pinch of fine sea salt adds just enough depth to make this feel like more than plain water. For anyone navigating the autoimmune protocol, finding compliant ways to start the morning or stay hydrated throughout the day can feel surprisingly tricky — this one checks every box with zero guesswork. All three core ingredients are straightforward and protocol-friendly, so there's no label-reading or substitution stress involved. Stir it together in under a minute, add ice if you like, and you've got something that feels genuinely refreshing rather than like a compromise.
