Before I started eating healthy, I’d have friends say, “Oh you need to eat (or drink) this, you’ll feel so amazing!” I’d follow their advice and if I were being truthful, I would probably let them know that I didn’t feel a difference.
But what I’ve come to realize is that once you start to eat or drink healthy, feeling the affects will eventually come. Pretty soon you’ll start to see and feel the changes.
And now that I’ve being taking in healthier things, I find that whenever I eat something like Taco Bell, my body gets kind of angry with me. 😬
So if you wanna get to the point of living so healthy that your body is more than a bit confused when you start eating unhealthy again, then detox water is a great place to start. You already need to stay hydrated, and infusing it with healthy ingredients makes it so much more drinkable.
And if you’d also like some new ideas, then here are some detox water hacks you can try out this week!
Pop Lemon Slices in the Freezer
I honestly love this hack! Lemon water is a great way to slim down fast if you drink it everyday. And what better way to cool down than to put lemon slices in the freezer and pop them in your drink? Definitely a detox win!
Skinny Wonder Detox Water
Just like lemon water, this combo is going to be great for your weight loss. Also, cucumbers, apples, and mint all have so many nutrients, so drinking this right after waking up is a great way to stay hydrated throughout the day.

I’ve had green smoothies with fruit in them before and I love them! You can’t taste any of the leafy greens at all and you’re packing yourself full of vitamins. This is definitely a great way to start off your day.
