Detox Water

January 2, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 76 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today I have for you a super simple, good for you recipe that takes no time to make at all!  It’s my Detox Water.  Yes, I am sharing with you a water recipe.  Trust me, you will love this water, especially for those who don’t like to drink plain water.

Detox Water
My Detox Water is not your traditional kind of water, it contains all of the components to make you feel good. It cleans out your kidneys, helps with bloating, it’s great for the skin and helps detoxify any bad germies in your system. As a plus for me it works great to help with your digestive system. It’s made with fresh cucumber, lemon slices, lime slices, grapefruit slices, fresh sliced ginger and fresh mint leaves.
Detox Water Ingredients
The breakdown of each ingredient is this:
Lemons, grapefruit and limes – Citrus fruit helps detoxify the kidneys, and the lemon has antioxidant compounds called limonoids that activate detoxifying enzymes.
Ginger – Is a digestive tonic that aids circulation.
Peppermint – is a natural appetite suppressant and antimicrobial that eliminates germs in food and makes you feel fuller.
Cucumber – It fresh, helps de-puff your body and is excellent for your skin.
Detox Water
I make this water before I go to bed so I have it first thing when I wake up before your morning cup of coffee. I recommend drinking at least 8 cups of this water a day. I try to go 10 cups.

When to drink:

  • First thing in the morning, when you get up.
  • Before every meal
  • Throughout the day
  • Cup before bed

Detox Water
Not only am I detoxifying my body by drinking this water everyday, but I am also going to do that with my life, starting with the kitchen! I have cleaned out all of the bad, overly to processed foods, cleaned out the cabinets and drawers and cleaned out the fridge. I also cut up fresh vegetables, checked my fruit for blemishes and got rid of the old. I now know I am on my way to a healthier year. I can only hope that it will stay that way!!


I am really looking forward to 2014, I just know it will be a great year for health!!! Now to get my Husband on board!

Have a wonderful day!! Be sure to drink your water!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Tomorrow I have the most awesome recipe!  It contains peanut butter and chocolate.  But that’s all I’m telling you!!

      You should try! Have a cup before every meal and when you get up in the morning. Try it for a couple of days. You’ll feel better about yourself and it fills you up! 🙂 Believe me I know, it’s hard to drink water, I tend to slack on it myself, but I’m trying! Not only is it good for the insides, but it’s also great for your skin! 🙂 Happy New Years!!!

    Happy New Year, Jen! I love your recipe for detox water. Back in the summer, I started making jugs of water flavoured simply with slices of orange or lemon, with cucumber and different herbs. Processed juice has too much sugar and I’m really bad about drinking enough water in a day so I thought that flavoured water was the perfect alternative. I can’t wait to try this!

      Hi Nancy! I agree about juices, and I tend to drink them a bit to much, that’s why I made the water. Something easy to grab, tasty, healthy and guilt-free. I have been bad at drinking water too and flavoring your water makes it so much easier. Happy New Years to you Nancy!!

    This looks lovely! In an effort to cut down on cost – could you use the same ingredients the next day and just add fresh water? Or would that be nonsensical?

      Hi, I found that longer than 24 hours the citrus fruit taste bitter. However, when the water gets low, I do just add more water to save on re-making it again.

    Is it really bad for you to keep pitcher longer than 24 hrs? Soggy ingredients don’t bother me. I’ve been letting it fuse for a week–I just keep adding water and drinking.

      Hi Janice, I keep it for a couple of days. If the ingredients start to get to soggy, then take them out, the flavor is infused. Enjoy!

      Of course! Bottom line is as long as you drink water and if it tastes good, then that is all that counts. Cheers!

I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
