    Rainbow Detox Water is full of beautiful fruit and basil. Refreshing and delicious, this infused water is full of nutrients and will keep you hydrated.

    Rainbow detox water is a beautiful way to drink your water. I mentioned a few weeks ago I have been trying to drink more water, especially during these HOT summer months. So far I have been staying on track and getting my H2O everyday. 

    Infusing water with fruit really makes it easy to drink. I have been trying different combinations like this watermelon cucumber and mint water.  There are so many wonderful combinations. I love this rainbow detox water because of the color and flavor. Just seeing all of those bright fruit colors in my glass makes me happy. 🙂

    Glass filled with fruit and mint

    Water is the best way to cleanse the body and important for our health. This water puts a fun spin on “plain” water. Not only does it taste AMAZING, it is full of nutrients.

    Detox Water Benefits

    • Lime: full of vitamin C and anti-oxidants.
    • Lemon: high in vitamin C and anti-oxidants.
    • Strawberries: strawberries are also a great source of vitamin C and anti-oxidants
    • Blueberries: high in potassium, vitamin C and B6
    • Oranges: Large amount of vitamin C
    • Raspberries: high in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties
    • Basil: anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory

    How Much Detox Water Should You Drink A Day

    There is not really a magic number when it comes to how much water to drink per day. For the average person it is generally recommended to drink 6-8, 8 oz glasses of water per day. 

    People who are more active might benefit from drinking 8-12 glasses a day. 

    Rainbow Detox Water full of fruit and fresh basil

    To make this detox water, place ice and fruit in a large pitcher. Fill with water and stir in some torn or chopped basil. For a little added benefit, I add a drop or two of lemon or lime essential oil.

    Pour a big glass, sit back and relax and enjoy.
