There is no doubt about it bellas, Water IS Slimming. Give this Strawberry Detox Water a try. Make your pitcher of water part of your calming morning ritual... taking care of YOURSELF is important.

Three clear glasses filled with detox water featuring strawberries, lemon slices, and basil leaves sit on a wooden surface, surrounded by fresh strawberries and ice cubes.

I've been making flavored water for years. I love the subtle taste of the fruits in it and it helps me drink more water! I hadn't given much thought to the properties of the ingredients but now see pitchers of same waters I drink labeled as Detox water. Hmmm, the ingredients in the flavored waters I'd already been making not only taste wonderful but also contain properties that encourage weight loss.

Ingredients

  • 10 strawberries, thinly sliced
  • Half a cucumber, thinly sliced
  • One lemon, thinly sliced
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, grow them in a pot on a windowsill
  • 6 cups ice
  • Water add more or less to taste - I use it from the tap

Instructions

  • Layer ice with the ingredients in a large one gallon pitcher.
  • Top with water.
  • Let steep in your fridge at least 45 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
