Clean Eating Challenge: 5 Best Detox Fruit Waters (Day 16)

Detox Fruit WaterThis is a part of my 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge Article Series! Read about the challenge and see all of my posts HERE!

I like starting my day off with a detoxifying fruit water because it’s a delicious way to cleanse your system. By allowing the fruit to soak in your water overnight in your fridge, your water becomes infused with nutrients and flavor of the fruit. I’ve assembled the best of the best detox waters that contain anti-aging properties and help flush toxins from your body. (Another way to flush ze toxins? WORK OUT! Right now I’m doing a 30 Day iPhone App Workout Challenge, come do it with me!)

I also took kickass photos with my brother’s camera, and may or may not have told the cucumber water to “work it” and show off that “smize.” I now realize that I’ve been definitely watching too much Top Model recently. But I can’t stop! It’s so addicting! You watch one episode and you can’t stop!

Anyways.

Tips for making these detox waters:

  • These recipes are single-serve and make one glass. But you can refill your glass with water as many times as you’d like, and I usually make it in the morning and then keep refilling my cup with water and they last all day!
  • Try using sparkling water instead of normal water and serve at special occasions in champagne flutes
  • If you want to make a 2 liter pitcher, fill half of the pitcher with fruit. I would recommend also throwing in a little ginger root, which has anti-inflammatory compounds and aids in digestion. Don’t add ginger to a single glass– it’s a bit overpowering and requires a pitcher.

Cucumber Crush

cucumberdetoxwaterThis green drink is delicious with a light, fruity aftertaste. Cucumbers are a fantastic addition to these detox waters because they make the water refreshing and juicy, if that makes any sense. (I’m destined to be a food writer, if you can tell.) Use overripe kiwis if possible!

Detoxifying Qualities:

  • Great Skin: Cucumbers are full of great nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, calcium, vitamin K and potassium.
  • Cucumbers are especially great for detoxing because they prevent water retention and have anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients:

  • 2 kiwis
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cucumber
  • A sprig of mint

Strawberry Kiwi

watermelonkiwidetoxwaterYou can’t go wrong with the classic combination of strawberries and kiwi! This is the perfect summer drink, and has a light sweetness to it.

Detoxifying Qualities:

  • Kiwi is a superfood and is packed with vitamins A and E which help prevent free radicals as well as certain types of cancer. Kiwis also helps flush out toxins from the colon, which improves your overall health and well being.
  • Strawberries help fight carcinogens and contains anti-aging properties such as biotin and the antioxidant ellagic acid, which helps prevent sagging skin.

Ingredients:

  • 2 strawberries
  • 2 kiwis

 

Watermelon Mint

watermelonfruitwaterThis water is the best summer detox drink! Bonus: I learned how to cube watermelon while I was doing this. Basically you cut slices and then just cut those into cubes so it’s not an intense cooking skill, but it’s a big accomplishment or someone like me 🙂

Detoxifying Qualities:

  • Watermelon contains citrulline, an amino acid that helps improve liver function by filtering and getting rid of ammonia, which can damage cells.
  • Mint leaves help improve digestion and get rid of stomach cramps.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cubed watermelon
  • 3 mint leaves

 

Cleansing Lemon Mint

lemonmintdetoxwater

This is a simplified version of my Lemon Detox Water, and you can find the detox benefits of this drink here! This is by far my most popular detox drink, but if you don’t have a ginger root lying around your house, this simplified version can be your best friend.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lemon
  • 2 slices of cucumber
  • 2 mint leaves

 

Berry Blast

detoxifying berry waterBerry Blast tastes the best with sparkling water! It’s good on its own, of course. In this photo I forgot the blackberries (three cheers for being prepared!) but hey, I can’t get everything right all the time unlike my favorite show Who’s Line is it Anyways which can do no wrong! (Off-topic, but a totally valid point. Luckily, this blog isn’t high school, because I can just improv posts off the top of my head and the points don’t matter.)

Detoxifying Qualities:

  • Raspberries contain anti-inflammatory phytochemicals that are anti-aging and anti-cancer.

Ingredients:

  • Handful of Raspberries
  • Handful of Blackberries

…

I hope you guys enjoy the drinks! I had a great time coming up with the recipes, and even dying in the heat as I took these photos and found the fruit’s good side.

See you guys tomorrow!

-Amy

    • Amy Suto says

      March 8, 2014 at 6:19 pm

      As often as they stay fresh! I usually can get several (like 5) glasses of water out of my fruit, depending on how large the glasses is. Then they become a bit tasteless and you need to throw them out. If you put them in a pitcher, you can get more use out of them since they’ll be in the fridge all day e’rry day.

      Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!

      I have some left over strawberries from my detox drink. They taste a little bland but they still have some hint of flavor in them and they look edible haha. Now my question is, how can I reuse these light pink berries? Is there a recipe that might call for strawberries regardless of how watered down they might be. There are so many of them I would just hate to see them go to waste. Oh and I love the watermelon+mint one! Thank you.

      Hi Lena! I haven’t tried that combo, but I will now! I love cinnamon, and it’s a potent spice so I could see how it could be effective for detox. Lemon in water by itself works too due to lemons’ ability to neutralize free radicals in the body. It also contains 22 known anti-cancer properties– that’s a win-win!

      The only way you can lose weight is through eating clean and working out, and exercises that increase your metabolism (such as HIIT and strength training) are the most effective. You can read about those on other areas of my blog.

      A drink alone can’t help you lose weight– that’s a lifestyle change. Anyone who tells you that there’s a magic drink or pill that will melt off pounds is trying to sell you something. But these detox drinks do help flush toxins and improve your health.

      Hi Sher!

      Great question– eating fruit is great, and gives you the fiber that this wouldn’t. Detox water allows you to spice up your water while receiving the benefits of fruit by soaking them in water. It also allows you to get the benefits of things you can’t or don’t normally eat — such as ginger or mint — that aid in digestive functions.

      This is definitely not a replacement for eating fruit, but it is a good way to spice up your water and get hydrated as well as reaping the benefits of the vitamins in these waters.

      Hey Pauline! Sparkling water is like mineral water, it has minerals in it and is carbonated. Make sure there’s no added sugar (there shouldn’t be) although if you prefer you can get like Perrier with a twist of lime or something. You can get sparkling water at any grocery store, and while you can use normal water, I find that sparkling water helps mix it up if you need an alternative to soda.

      No, it’s not a stupid question Morgan! You could eat the fruit if you wanted to, but you don’t have to. Soaking the fruit infuses its vitamins and nutrients into the water, so just drink the water and toss the fruit.

    Hi there,
    I’ve recently been making changes to my diet and trying to take it slowly. I have Selective Eating Disorder, which has only recently come into light. I can’t stand seeds or the texture of any fruit or veg however, I am very much aware of how unhealthy it is not to eat any. This fruit water seems like a brilliant idea as I am not opposed to the flavor of fruits rather the texture – It is obviously not a substitute for eating actual fruit, but it is a progression. Would you say that it is something that I should attempt to do?

    Reply
    • Amy Suto says

      May 25, 2014 at 7:50 pm

      Hi there! I would recommend asking your doctor. While fruit water absorbs many of the nutrients of fruit, it still is no substitute — have you tried smoothies or jucing fruits and veggies? None of these options will give you everything that a whole piece of fruit can, but smoothies are great for fruit and juicing is great for fruit and veggies so you may want to give those a try!

      Hey Auriel! I find that lemons work in most combinations unless you have something super sweet (like watermelon). I haven’t tried grapes, and you would have to cut the grapes to try and get any flavor out of them– but it’s worth a shot! The combinations in this article are the ones I found mixed best, but feel free to experiment– there are no rules when it comes to recipes.

      The vitamins in the water from the fruit are great for you, but one of the best parts of this drink is that it encourages you to drink more water! Having more water in your diet will improve your complexion and energy levels. So drink up!

    So my roommate introduced me to the detox water and I love it. So I started drinking them. But I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting headaches and I’ve read that mint can give you headaches. Dose anyone have another option besides mint I could use? Or can I make them without the mint. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

      If you’re allergic to strawberries, by all means don’t use strawberries! And I would recommend using sparkling water and a hint of cranberry juice to sweeten it up a little. Hope that helps!
