Strawberry Coconut Lemonade Detox Water
If you know me at all, you know that I am all about good nutrition and real food. That means that every ingredient that goes into my recipes must be full of nutrients and free of chemicals. My strawberry coconut detox water recipe is comprised of quality real food ingredients that will provide you with satisfying nutrition. Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients:
Strawberries and Coconut Water
Strawberries–need I say more? These little fruits are loaded with vitamins and nutrients. Plus, they taste amazing!
Coconut water can help you stay hydrated. However, be sure to choose a quality coconut water to avoid harmful additives. I personally use this brand of coconut water regularly.
Lemon Juice and Liquid Stevia
Lemon juice possesses a ton of health benefits. However, in order to experience these benefits, it is crucial that you use a quality organic lemon juice. Avoid any lemon juice that says “from concentrate” on the bottle and choose a natural and organic juice. This is the brand of organic lemon juice that I like.
Liquid stevia adds a natural sweetness to recipes. Be sure to choose a brand of liquid stevia that does not include additives. I personally use this brand of liquid stevia every day.
The Importance of Drinking Filtered Water
You are probably aware of the fact that water is essential to life. However, are you aware that the quality of the water that you drink can significantly impact your health? It wasn’t until I began to experience some health issues that I eventually traced back to my water consumption. At the time, my home was on a municipal water system. That meant that my water contained additives such as fluoride and other chemicals. I found that my health improved once I began using a water filtering system that helped to remove fluoride and other contaminants. After much research, I purchased this Big Berkey Water Filter. I love it and use it every single day. You may be interested in this version of the Berkey Water Filter if you do not have a need for fluoride filters.
When making a batch of this strawberry coconut lemonade detox water, be sure to use filtered water. Quality water is very important to your overall health.
