Ingredients:
Lemon – 1 large (freshly squeezed juice)
Cayenne Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
Raw Honey – 1 tablespoon
Filtered Water – 2 cups
Aloe Vera Gel – 2 tablespoons
Apple Cider Vinegar – 1 tablespoon (optional)
Psyllium Husk – 1 tablespoon
Flaxseeds – 1 tablespoon (ground)
Cucumber – 1 (sliced thin)
Fresh Ginger Root – 1-inch piece (grated)
Instructions:
Prepare the Lemon Detox Drink:
In a glass, mix the freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon, cayenne pepper, honey, and water. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Aloe Vera Detox:
In a separate glass, combine 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Mix well and drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
Psyllium Husk Drink:
Add 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk to a glass of water. Stir well and consume quickly, as psyllium thickens as it sits. This helps flush out toxins and supports healthy bowel movements.
Flaxseed Blend:
Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds into a smoothie or drink. This will add fiber and support digestion during your cleanse.
Cucumber Ginger Detox Water:
Slice 1 cucumber and grate a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger. Add these ingredients to 2 cups of filtered water. Let them infuse for at least 30 minutes before drinking. This will keep you hydrated while aiding in digestion.
Daily Schedule:
Morning: Aloe Vera Detox and Lemon Detox Drink.
Mid-morning: Psyllium Husk Drink.
Afternoon: Flaxseed Blend (as part of a smoothie or juice).
Throughout the day: Cucumber Ginger Detox Water.
Exercise:
For optimal results, try to incorporate light exercise such as walking or yoga into your routine. This will promote circulation and help the cleanse work more efficiently.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving Tips:
Drink the detox drinks in the morning before eating anything. The cleanse works best when your stomach is empty. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and aid the flushing of toxins.
Storage Tips:
Most of the drinks and infusions can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For the cucumber ginger detox water, it's best to prepare fresh each day. The psyllium husk drink should be consumed immediately to avoid thickening.
Store flaxseeds in a cool, dark place to keep them fresh, and grind them as needed to preserve their nutritional value.
