So after a long weekend of….”overindulging” I was feeling a little puffy and sluggish, so I whipped up what I call my “detox water.” This recipe will help you clean out your system, rehydrate and shed a bit of water weight.
Detox & Debloat with this Drink
Recipe
½ orange cut up
½ cucumber cut up
½ lemon cut up
Ginger tea (you can buy this, or make your own by letting a 1 inch chunk of shredded ginger steep in 2 cups of boiling water.)
Peppermint tea
2-liter pitcher
1. First make sure you wash your veggies and fruit well, since the rind will be soaking in the water you don’t want any left over pesticides.
2. Cut up the fruit and squeeze the juice into the pitcher, then add the cut up fruit to the pitcher. (You don’t need to squeeze the cucumber!)
3. Boil water and steep you teas for about 5 minutes, then add to your pitcher, fill up the rest of the pitcher with filtered water.
For 5 days (or really as long as you like, but I think 5 days gets the job done) drink an entire pitcher per day. You can combine this drink with a cleanse or just add it to your regular diet.
