Yes it is that time of year again; New Year's resolutions and a time of fresh starts. Did you over indulge during the Holidays? I am certainly guilty and now have a few extra pounds causing my jeans to be feeling a little too snug. The overload of sweet, high carb treats and high fat food have taken a toll on my waistline as well as my energy level. Are you feeling tired and sluggish, wanting to live in your sweat pants or pyjamas? Time to get back in control by eliminating the sugar, high calorie carbs and detox the body. Drinking an abundance of water will help you kick start that diet, detox and give you that much needed boost to get back on track!
I make up a large jug of flavored water the night before with an abundance of healthy detoxifying ingredients to sip throughout the day.

Do you have to drink a different drink everyday or can you just stick with the same mix for a week?

Hi Stephanie, you can stick with the same, or try them all. What ever way you wish to enjoy them.

Sophia
That mixed berry water looks gorgeous!! I'm surprised that you are using kiwi; I also like to do that, but kiwi doesn't give its juice away, so it needs to be pureed and added manually. Still looks good, though 🙂
Laureen King
Hi Sophia, I find the kiwi usually breaks up, but pureeing it is also a great idea.
