It’s Spa Water Time!

My Flush Fat™ Mango Berry Spa Water is the perfect drink to cool off in this 100 degree heat!

As you know by the amount of Flush Fat™ Waters on my site that these are one of my favorite drinks to make.

It’s nothing more easier then adding fresh and/or frozen fruit to a large glass with purified water, refrigerate overnight and watch the magic happen.

I love these drinks because not only do they flush out the fat, they also have no added sugars and are virtually calorie free.

If you want a little more sweetness to drink you could always add a little honey.

Enjoy!

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

1 cup mango, frozen
1/2 cup mixed berries, frozen
2 cups water, purified
1 lemon, sliced

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a large glass, cover with lid and allow to chill overnight in the refrigerator, drink throughout the day.

Enjoy

I love detox waters!  If you haven’t noticed I post a lot of flush fat detox waters, because they work.

I am constantly thinking of new recipes to create.

I always start with whatever fresh fruit/veggies I have in the house and how I personally think they will taste mixed together.

Who doesn’t love strawberries and watermelon?

Now add a little lemon juice and purified water and you have Strawberry Watermelon

The Watermelon will help flush out your kidney’s. Lemon juice not only detoxifies the liver, it also helps with digestion.

Lastly, strawberries not only taste delicious, they help boost your immunity because of all the vitamin C.

I love my Omega Juicer, it’s really the best investment I’ve made when it comes to kitchen gadgets.

You can juice up to 72 hours in advance without losing the nutritional benefits.

After you juice the watermelon, strawberries and peeled lemon, pour everything in a large mason jar and top it off with about 1 cup of purified water.

You don’t have to add water, but I think it was a little sweet for my taste and I love adding water to my fruit juices.

Regular water is not tasty at all, so when you add it to fresh fruit juice it really does help me get my 8 glasses a day into my diet.

All done and ready to drink up!

O.K. everyone the detox is going great, well most days are great. I am mentally hungry, but that’s my mind playing tricks on me. I am down 16 pounds this week, HOORAY!

Don’t know how I did that, but I am drinking loads of water and some juice.

I haven’t drunk as much juice as I would like because I’ve been too lazy to clean my juicer. I am going to up the juice so I can get more nutrients.

I add 1 teaspoon of Amazing Grass Raw powder to 2 cups a water 4 times a day. That stuff is full of all types of good greens.

If you would like to purchase some click the blue link on the side bar of my blog.

Today I made a big batch of Flush Fat™ Grapefruit Lemonade that is full of fat burning, detoxing properties.

First, grapefruit, it’s low glycemic so it’s good for those of you who can’t have a lot of sugar.

Secondly, lemon, also low glycemic gives this lemonade a tang. If you want to add sweetener add about a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey.

This recipe is really simple, just juice a grapefruit and lemon, both peeled, try to leave as much white rind on as possible, juice, add water, enjoy!

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

1 grapefruit, peeled
1 lemon, peeled
2 cups water, purified

Directions:

Juice lemon, grapefruit, add water. Serve over ice, enjoy!

It’s day 3 of the Juice Detox and things are going really good.

I’ve had no headaches, or any detox systems at all!

I believe this is because I started to eat salads prior to starting the detox, which meant, no junk food to detox from.

I am making sure I drink enough water and drink enough juice, which is hard because the water fills me up, then I don’t want juice.

Today’s juice is grapefruit, cucumber, celery juice. It’s o.k. but a little tart due to the grapefruit. I say drink it quick and move on.

The grapefruit is good for you, so we gotta do what we gotta do!

Also, don’t forget, grapefruit interferes with loads of different medications so check with your pharmacist or doctor to make sure this is o.k. if you’re on any prescription drugs!

Grapefruit, Cucumber, Celery Juice Detox 

Servings: 12 ounces

1/2 grapefruit, peeled
1 cucumber, diced
2 sticks celery, diced

Directions:

Yesterday I told you about my 30 day juice fast journey. Today I wanted to share with you one of the juices I will be drinking every morning.

You can drink as much of this juice as you like.

Most people drink between 3-4 liters of green juice daily, plus 12-16 cups of water. I am not a doctor, so I just listen to my body about the juice and water.

For those of you who haven’t seen the film, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, it’s a much watch on the benefits of juicing.

Today’s recipe is a take on the Mean Green Juice in the movie. I added pear and grapefruit to my juice.

You can omit grapefruit if you don’t like the tartness of it. You can also do two apples instead of pear.

I also will be rotating my greens daily, as I read that it’s important to rotate greens due to toxicity in greens.

You don’t have to rotate daily but I will suggest weekly. 

Rotate your leafy greens according to family.

• Crucifers: kale, collards, arugula, cabbage, bok choy, radish greens, mustard greens, broccoli
• Amaranth: spinach, chard, beets
• Asteraceae: dandelions, leaf lettuce, Romaine lettuce
• Apiaceae: parsley, cilantro, anise, celery, chervil, cumin, dill, fennel, parsnip
• Poaceae: wheatgrass 

Juice everything together, stir and enjoy! You can strain the juice if you’re not into pulp. 

I must admit, this is the best green juice I’ve ever tasted.

Don’t put to much ginger unless you like it spicy!

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

I have a new drink that over the past week has helped me flush out the fat!

First, cranberries does a body right. These little berries are packed full of all kind of nutrients that helps detox the body.

Drinking straight cranberry juice in my opinion, is not very pleasant.

But when you mix it with water, the diluted juice is not only palatable, it’s down right delicious, and the fat flush tendencies also makes it a keeper!

The Flush Fat™ Cranwater doesn’t require any expensive equipment, you just need 100% Cranberry juice and purified water.

Flush Fat™  Cranwater

1 cup 100% cranberry juice
6 cups purified water

Directions:

Mix cranberry juice and water, stir well. Drink throughout the day.

Saying I am addicted to Spa Water is an overstatement!

I spend hours thinking of new combinations to create and going through gardening seed catalogs to decide what fruits and herbs I need to plant to create new Spa Waters.

This is getting a little out of hand people, but I love it!

Today, I have for you a new creation, Melon Berry Coconut Spa Water, it’s delicious!

All you do is place everything into a large glass mug, allow it to chill overnight, that’s it and it’s time to drink up!

This drink is refreshing, sweet, and full of vitamins and nutrients.

The longer it chills, the more flavorful it becomes.

I even allowed it to chill for a full two days and it tasted so delicious, even my husband thought I put a sugar in it!

Enjoy
