Fat Burning Apple Detox

Struggling with unwanted fat? This is the detox for you! Apple cider vinegar is the main ingredient here, helping you stay full and focused, while the added cinnamon boosts your metabolism and makes it impossible for excess fat to accumulate.

Ingredients

• 12 oz of Water
• 1-2 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (I use Braggs with the "Mother")
• 1 Tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon sweetener (I use a Stevia Raw Sugar packet)
• Half of an apple (sliced)

Instructions

1. Put all of the ingredients (not including the Apples) in the blender and blend for about 10 seconds.
2. Add slices of Apple
3. Drink and then eat the apple slices! They will taste yummy.

Aloe Detox

Sounds weird…aloe is a plant, right? Yes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t eat it! Extract the aloe from the plant  leaves and combine the ooze into a lemon water drink. The result? An energy boosting drink that heals the body from the inside out. (Note: pregnant women are not advised to ingest aloe…but to the rest of you, aloe on.)

Start by removing an aloe leaf from the plant near the base using a sharp knife. No worries about hurting the plant — just like it can heal your skin, aloe heals itself, too.

Now use your knife to split the leaf down the center lengthwise and reveal all those healing juices. To soothe skin, the natural aloe gel can be rubbed directly on, but we’re going to harvest it for the aloe water instead.

Transfer the gel to a container. And when I say gel, I mean it — this stuff is gooey, and you should just know that going into it. I scooped mine from the leaf using a spoon and put it in a cup, but you could also gently scrape it off with your knife. Just be sure to get the clear gel only and not the yellowy pulp. Note: Don’t try to skip this step and use off-the-shelf aloe vera gel unless it’s clearly labeled as edible aloe.

Mix the aloe gel with water and lemon juice using a blender. I didn’t measure out exactly but can estimate that I used a ratio of about 2 tablespoons each of aloe gel and lemon juice to one cup of water. The lemon juice and the high-speed blending helps to cut the gelatinous texture of the aloe. Blend for a minute or more.

Drink up. Easy, huh? You shouldn’t taste much beyond the lemon, though the mixture will have a slightly thicker feel than regular lemon water. If you’re not feeling the plain aloe water, you can also add the aloe to amp up your green smoothies. Now how’s your headache? Happy New Year!

_______________________________________________________

So, there won't be pictures with the rest.  Some of these may even repeat some from above, but I think you get the idea.

I’ve always liked drinking my water with a slice or two of lemon–that extra little touch of flavor just makes water more appealing to me. There are a lot of other ways you can flavor water naturally. You can get really creative with it! Here are some ideas…

• Add a slice of your favorite citrus to a tall glass of ice water…try lemon, lime, or orange slices. Or combine them…slices of lemon and lime…orange and lime…or try all three together!
• Fresh mint is always a great addition to a glass of ice water.
• Combine lemon slices with fresh herbs in your water…try lemon with mint, rosemary, thyme, or sliced ginger root.
• Cucumbers are great in water, too! Slice up a large cucumber and add it to a pitcher of water…it’s really refreshing. You can also try cucumber with some fresh thyme added in. Or cucumber slices with lemon or orange slices.
• If you want a more intense flavor to your glass of water, squeeze the citrus and/or twist the herbs you are using before you add them to your glass.
• Besides lemons, oranges, and limes, you can try adding other kinds of fruit to your glass or pitcher of water…a small handful of your favorite berries (or mixed berries) is a nice addition to a glass of ice water. Other fruits you can try alone or in combination are: watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, grapes, and kiwi.
• Jenny from An Oregon Cottage mentioned in a comment on this post that she likes to use orange and mint or strawberry and cucumber combinations to flavor her water–great ideas!

NOTE: I usually drink my flavored water the same day I make it…I think it tastes best that way. Depending on what you add to your water, it may get cloudy or bitter-tasting if stored in the refrigerator too long.

If you’re wanting to make a pitcher of flavored water, you basically just slice or chop up some fresh fruit, cucumbers, or herbs and place in a pitcher, add cold water and chill several hours. The result is water infused with a light, natural flavor. It’s ready to serve over ice, garnished with a slice of fruit or clipping of an herb of your choice.
