            Ingredients:

Watermelon, 1 sliced Cucumber and 1/3 Mint (optional), Jug of water

Flat Tummy Water (Cucumber, Ginger and Lemon Detox)

This particular detox is infused with ingredients that specifically target weight loss. Lemon contains pectin, a type of fiber which makes you feel full for a longer period of time. Cucumbers clean out your entire urinary system and your liver, meaning more water is retained and every toxin flushed out.

            Ingredients:

            1 tbsp grated Ginger, 1/3 cups mint leaves, 1 sliced Lemon and 1 sliced cucumber

Infuse the fruits in the jug and let the mixture settle overnight in the fridge. Drink continuously during the day for seven days.

            Ingredients

            2 tbsp ACV, 2 tbsp lemonjuice, 1 tbsp raw honey, Glass of hot water, 1 tbsp cayenne (optional)

Simply mix all the ingredients together in a glass of warm or hot water and take it as a morning beverage.

Orange and Blueberry/Strawberry/Raspberry Detox Mix

This one goes without saying: it’s a natural juice without the processed sh* from factories. You even get to drink actual water, too! Oranges are rich in Vitamin C which generally boosts your immune system and makes your skin healthier. Berries are also filled with Vitamins A, B and C and reduce inflammation, naturally slow aging and balance ph levels in your body.

            Ingredients:

            1 sliced orange, 200 grams of berries of your choice, 1 glass of water

There’s two ways to consume this: the first method simply involves mixing everything together as it is; the second method requires you squeeze the berries, mix into the water and add the orange slices. Happy drinking!
