Detox water..!
You might have read about this magical water in Mygirlypedia before. If not give it a read here, to know why I call this magical.
We can mix different ingredients and sip this drink to get most of it. Here is the post where I will be sharing the list of ingredients I use to make detox water and benefits of each of them.
What You Need?
- Fenugreek Seeds
- Mint Leaves
- Cucumber
- Lemon
- Glass Bottle
- Water (Obvio) 😋
Fenugreek Seeds:
5 Fenugreek seeds.

Mint Leaves:
5 to 6 should be enough.

Cucumber:

Lemon:

- Freshens breath
- Helps to prevent kidney stones
- It has antibacterial properties as well
Water:
Fresh water. A Liter should be more than sufficient.
Glass Bottle:
Why glass bottle? Glass because it is not only good for our planet but also for us. Glass bottles repel food odours and residual flavours. They also significantly extend the flavour and quality of food stored in them. Plus, unlike plastic these glass bottles won’t release any chemicals.
How to prepare?
It’s pretty simple. Chop and put first four ingredients into the glass bottle. Add water. Place the bottle inside fridge overnight.
Overnight – because time is required for the water to get the flavours/ for the ingredients to work.
Fridge – because drinking cold water helps in improving metabolism and helps in weight loss. Body has to work harder for the cold water to reach the normal body temperature. Thus more calories are burnt.
Consume it on an empty stomach for better results.
I can say the recipe I have is mostly for the weight loss. What’s more better than losing weight by consuming something..!!! #LazyGirlsDream
If you are also on the journey of losing weight, do add this detox water in your routine. This tastes good (thanks to lemon and mint) and you will feel fresh after consuming.
Do you have any detox water recipe that you have tried??? Please share with us in the comments. Love to try something new.
