Infused Detox Water Recipes
If you are like me, you are not drinking enough water during the day. I love my coffee so much, I tend to lean toward drinking that and only drinking water to keep myself from getting dehydrated! I know, it’s really bad! I was at a friend’s house recently and she had infused detox water and I couldn’t stop drinking it because it tasted so good!
Infused detox water is an excellent way to detox your body, since you are only using all-natural ingredients, like fresh produce and herbs. It is a good way to drink more water as well, which is another simple way to detox your system. There are many fun combinations that can help with everything from detoxing your body or losing weight, to fighting off disease. Take a look at some of these different detox water recipes.

This first infused detox water recipe is fruity and gives you some tropical flavors as well. It is great for detoxing because the orange in the water is a wonderful antioxidant, while both orange and kiwi can help with cleansing the liver and kidneys.

The quantities depend on the type of flavor you are going for and whether you are using a full pitcher, mason jar, or just a single-serving bottle to take with you. Remember you can also add sparkling water instead of just plain water if you want to give it a little kick.
