I love a healthy lifestyle but I also want it to be fun and engaging. That's why the new love of my life is slim down detox water. The merge of the flavours from the fruits and mint make it so easy to love. I will be drinking this for a very long time!
To make this, here is what you need:
Half a cucumber
3 fresh mint leaves
1 lime
1 lemon
Half a grapefruit
A pitcher of water
Slice everything except the mint leaves.
Put all ingredients into your jar of water and let them soak overnight or for 12 hours. Thereafter, drink and refill as needed.
This drink contains cucumber, which is a diuretic and helps your body release water. It means it has anti-inflammatory properties. Cucumber has been known to fight a wide range of cancer.
The lemon and lime flush toxins from your digestive tract and aid in digestion.
The grapefruit is high in enzymes that help you burn fat. Thank God, my 4 month unwanted fat pregnancy will soon be gone.
The mint adds a refreshing taste - a touch of sweetness without the sugar.
Like I said, I will be drinking this for a really long time! Have you tried detox water before?

I sure need this after I turned into a beaver all weekend. Thanks for the reminder. I do it sometimes then I stop and chomp my way into junk at work most days. I want to start a seriously clean eating routine. I will start next week because all week is party week for me and colleagues. I will set a reminder for next week. Thank you Presh. Nice day

Adding colour to water, interesting even people who don't like drinking water will find this appealing. For someone in Cameroon, what is the alternative to mint leaves? Or do we have them here?
Precious Nkeih says
You're welcome CK!
Precious Nkeih says
The women selling green spices are known to have it. In French areas, ask for 'La menthe'.
Arrey Echi says

How long before you have to change the fruit?
Oguchi says
Hello, i like your blog andi have tried one thing already- The peanut burger and i was so happy i got it.
About the detox water, how long before we change the fruits to fresh ones that is how often should the fruits be changed? Also, grapefruit is scarce here, can there be a replacement or one can leave it out.Thanks.
