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

  2. Recipe slightly modified from Skinny Mommy
Notes
Please be sure not to drink it after 24 hours, as the fruit tend to get soggy, strong tasting from the citrus.

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!!

      Thanks Marie! I agree! I have a pitcher at home and I made one for work! I got my co-workers to drink it too. So much better than boring water! Happy New Years to you Marie!!

      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!!!

      Hi, you could always use pure peppermint extract in place of peppermint leaves. 🙂

    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?

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      January 3, 2014 at 5:36 AM

      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.

      August 11, 2016 at 4:24 PM

      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!

      Hi! The fruit is good for about 2-3 days. Citrus fruit stays in tack and gives good flavor. Hope you enjoy!

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

💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
