Any short-term “slimming” effect usually comes from reduced water retention and better digestion, not fat loss overnight—and that’s totally normal.
The Simple Lemon + Nopal Drink Recipe
Ingredients (about 1 liter / 4 cups):
-
1–2 medium nopal pads (cleaned, spines removed)
-
Juice of 1–2 lemons
-
3–4 cups water
-
Optional: a little honey or stevia for taste
How to prepare:
-
Wash the nopal pads very well and remove all spines.
-
Chop into small pieces (keeping the skin adds more fiber and mucilage).
-
Blend with water and lemon juice for 60–90 seconds until smooth.
-
If you don’t like the texture, you can strain it—but unstrained keeps more fiber.
-
Store in a glass container in the fridge and use within 24–48 hours.
