I have never peeled anything, and love the taste, finding the flavour tart but not bitter. I guess it would come down to personal preference. 🙂

This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it, but it has me curious, what about the ingredients makes this “detox” water? Or is the water just so delicious that it actually makes you drink enough water in a day?
Laureen King
Hi Brittany,
One of the biggest benefits is that you drink more water, that in itself is detoxifying. In addition: Cucumbers are a natural diuretic. Lemons and grapefruit help the liver to dump toxins by stimulating its natural enzymes. Lemons and grapefruit provide a huge dose of the free radical fighting antioxidant vitamin C. Lemons are a good source of electrolytes, such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, which help hydrate the body. Mint in addition to adding great flavour is a herb that aids digestion and helps calm the stomach.
I know is sure works for me!

I personally do not “fast”; so yes I eat a healthy balanced diet along with consuming the water.

have you lost any weight with this?
Laureen King
In combination with a eating healthy food, exercise, I have lost weight. When I start my day with a big pitcher ready to go, I find it easy to stay on track. I find this water curbs my hunger and has a great diuretic effect.

I think oranges would be a great substitution

How long is the pitcher go for? Do you refill everyday for a week or do a new one everyday ?
Laureen King
I usually make up a pitcher the night before and then refill throughout the day. I find the fruit is usually only good for 2 days at the longest. The mint leaves only are good for a day.
