Coconut Water & Lemon Detox Water Recipe For Weight Loss
Lemon detox water is great for jump-starting your weight loss plan and helping to eliminate toxins. However, please keep in mind that simply drinking this water alone will not cause you to lose massive amounts of weight. Rather, it will help you to lose some unwanted bloat and pounds associated with water retention. In addition, drinking more water will help you to stay hydrated and feel full longer. Use this recipe along with a healthy real-food diet to achieve optimal health and wellness.
Lemon Coconut Detox Water Ingredients
If you’ve browsed Sunny Fit Life: A Natural Health Blog at all, you’ve probably figured out that I am passionate about real food. That means no fake stuff! This detox coconut water recipe is no different. Each ingredient is real and full of nutrition. Here is a breakdown of the ingredient list:
Coconut Water and Lemon Juice
Coconut Water water is a tasty way to keep your body hydrated. Here is my favorite coconut water to use in this recipe.
Lemon Juice is an important component in this detox water recipe. Not just any lemon juice will do. Why? Because good nutrition is all about putting real food in your body. Therefore, I opt for organic lemon juice, not the “from concentrate” ones that come in the lemon-shaped bottle. As cute as it is, this juice does not contain the nutritional value your body craves. Here is my favorite organic lemon juice.
Aloe Vera Juice and Liquid Stevia
Aloe vera juice is great for digestion and overall health. However, make sure that you purchase the juice NOT the gel. They are very different! Here is the brand of aloe vera juice that I use.
Liquid stevia is a product that I use every day. I love it in my coffee and I even add a little to my spaghetti sauce to cut the tangy taste of the tomatoes! However, all stevia is not created equal. That’s why I choose to use this brand of liquid stevia. At first glance, a small bottle of quality liquid stevia seems expensive. However, there are literally hundreds of servings in one small bottle. That means that one bottle will last you a very long time as recipes typically only call for a few drops of stevia. Stevia is sweeter than sugar, which means that a little goes a long way!
Filtered Drinking Water
When it comes to health, even the water we drink should be quality. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you only drink filtered water. This is especially important if you are on a municipal water system. Don’t know where to start? I have found the Berkey Water Filters to be extremely effective. Personally own this Big Berkey Water Filter and use it every day. I love that it works with gravity alone and does require electricity. When I purchased this system I was on a municipal water system and was concerned about consuming fluoride. The Big Berkey that I purchased came with fluoride filters. However, if fluoride is not a concern for you, you may be interested another Berkey system such as this one.
Finally, while these are the brands of the ingredients that I recommend, please don’t let this list overwhelm you. Do the best you can with what you have. Optimal health is a journey, which means that it is almost impossible to make multiple changes overnight. Take baby steps and before you know it you will see that those small steps have added up to big changes. You can do it!
Anxiety and Dehydration
If you know anything about my health journey, you know that I used to struggle with debilitating anxiety. If you want to learn more about my story, click HERE. Staying hydrated is so important for many reasons. One of those reasons is because proper hydration can stave off anxiety. While dehyration doesn’t necessarily cause anxiety, it can definitely make it worse. Staying hyrated with pure water was one of the strategies that I used to overcome my anxiety. Pure water is healing and give the body what it needs to keep everything in balance. So, drink up!

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I would aim to drink no more than 8 – 12 ounces a day since the coconut water does contain sugar. And yes, whipping up a pitcher to have on hand is the way to go! : )
What is Aloe Vera juice?
Hi! Aloe vera juice is the liquid extracted from the aloe vera plant. Most people are more familiar with the gel of the aloe plant as it is often used to soothe sunburns and other types of skin wounds. The juice of the plant has many benefits, one being that it aids in digestion. That is why it is used as an ingredient in the lemon detox water recipe. You should be able to find it in your local supermarket or pharmacy. Thanks for reaching out!
