Drink More Water

Bored with Water?

Boost Your Daily Intake with Fruit-Infused H₂O!

“Drink more water” – It’s a statement you probably hear constantly from doctors, health coaches, sports team coaches, advertisements, and even mom and dad. But how much water are you really supposed to drink and how can you make doing so a bit easier?

Frankly, water isn’t everyone’s first choice in beverages, but it should be. Water accounts for nearly 60% of your body composition and is essential for growth and regeneration of every cell in your body. Without proper hydration, your body won’t work properly. Proper hydration supports the following major health benefits:

• Prevents dry mouth, lips, and throat
• Keeps the body cool
• Improves muscle and joint function
• Helps you lose weight
• As your body is cleansed with water, your body sheds waste which leaves you looking and feeling lighter. 
• Cleanses toxins from your body
• Shedding toxins gives you more energy, improves mental health and functioning, and gives you better skin and hair. Bonus! You will glow!

Using certain fruits, herbs, and flowers takes the benefits of hydration to a whole new level. Infused water benefits include:

• Heightened metabolism
• Enhanced digestive functioning
• Improved immune system functioning (recuperate faster from illness and workouts 
• Additional energy boosts and mood enhancements

So how much should you drink? Half your body weight in ounces. 

It’s no secret that it’s difficult for many people to drink the necessary amount of water because it can be pretty boring at times. It isn’t as sexy as drinking a glass of wine and it doesn’t have the flavor a soda or sugary drink offers. And yes, while fizzy drinks are fun, it is so important that we limit the amount of sugars and artificial ingredients we put into our bodies. Thankfully, there are easy ways to make your water more interesting, flavorful, and packed full of health benefits. Still not a believer? Read on!

My favorite way to spice up my water intake is with fruit-infused water! Fruit-infused water is a great alternative to its soda counterparts while still being FUN. The main difference is, fruit-infused water is going to leave you feeling fresh and most importantly—HYDRATED! Almost every top massage and spa place I have been to serves fruit, herb, and flower-infused water. 

Can’t wait to get started? Try this delicious and refreshing recipe! It’s one of my favorites!

Detox Watermelon Recipe

32 ounces of water
4 cubes fresh watermelon
6 leaves cilantro (cilantro helps with detoxification)

In a 1-liter pitcher, place the fruit and cilantro at the bottom and add water until full. Cover the top of the pitcher and let sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the fruit seep into the water. The mixture should keep for two days.

The following are some other combination recommendations:

• Orange, lemon, and ginger (improves immune system and blood circulation)
• Cucumber, raspberry, and grape (beats inflammation and fights cancer)
• Rhubarb, apple, and cinnamon (amplifies metabolism)
• Strawberry and lime (boosts anti-aging)
• Pineapple and mint (relieves joint pain and supports digestive system)

Pre-Cleanse and During

Food pictures are from Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon and then I did a juice cleanse up until just right now when I decided to have some edamame haha I'm going to do mainly juicing/smoothies for the next few days though.

Nachos! Quinoa tortilla chips, quinoa, black beans, black olives, a sauce using nutritional yeast/spices/water/bit of coconut oil/cornstarch, bell peppers... 

Easter morning I made donuts for my husband and I but added some cocoa powder. Uhh they didn't really turn out right haha I think if the batter had sat for longer they would have risen properly. How ironic on Easter that my donuts did not rise up ;)

A better picture of that delicious moussaka (without fake meat) I made from the Native Foods cookbook. Soo good! My husband didn't like it though (found it too mushy) so I had to eat the entire casserole! Normally I am sick of a meal once I've had it twice in a row but I happily ate this four days in a row!

Easter dinner was... Native Foods Cafe! haha I tried the portobello sausage burger and omgggg. So good. Their burgers are the closest thing to "greasy diner food" I've had without being that. Like they aren't greasy but they feel like comfort food. I don't know... just try them.

Made a quesadilla out of leftover nacho bean mixture with some Daiya and dipped it in leftover sauces from Native Foods (ranch and chipotle). Whoa, this was good! They have the BEST dips I've ever had, non vegan included.

My favourite snack lately is the homemade bagels topped with sunflower seed butter, chia seeds and cinnamon!

Curry, of course! This was more like curry soup with some quinoa haha

Onto the cleanse! You can find all of the recipes in my "spring cleanse" (I didn't do the full 5 days) in my Juice Cleanse Facebook Group. :)  I did three juices and a smoothie each day. I don't always include smoothies but when I want to keep up with my workouts, it gives me a nice boost of energy for that.  Aren't juice cleanses so pretty?  hehe

Dr Oz 3 Day Detox

From last weekend up until today.

I made this moussaka recipe from Forks Over Knives cookbook. It really was nothing like moussaka but it was good. Too many lentils though, I'd half the amount called for and double the amount of eggplant in the future.

I love pancakes, what can I say. Top ones had peaches in them, mmm. I don't usually like frozen hasbrowns but these ones are by Alexia (they do tots, fries, sweet potatoe fries etc) and are so good! Below are blueberry pancakes topped with applesauce and oatmeal. I know, it looks like puke but it was good.haha

Enjoying a kale salad with goddess dressing.

Making almond butter in my Omega juicer.

Enjoying some green juice

Grapefruit juice for husband and I

My amazing sorbet at a restaurant in Balboa Park, San Diego!

Making one of my husband's favourites. He asks for it every week, honestly.

 I did the Dr Oz 3 Day Detox Tues/Wed/Thurs this week. It wasn't my favourite cleanse as it was very repetitive but overall I'm glad I did it. If you don't have a very high powered blender like a Vitamix  you may want to juice the lunch though! I found it wayyy too thick/chewy in just my Hamilton Beach blender. I feel really good so I'm glad I did it. I didn't drop any weight but some friends did it with me and one lost like 5lbs. The weightloss is generally temporary with detoxes though and not a reason to do them. It was a relatively easy detox. I really didn't experience any symptoms. I personally prefer juice detoxes but it was nice to mix it up!

Each morning you have a cup of green tea with lemon. It says you can add Stevia but I don't like to sweeten my tea.

Breakfast smoothie is very tasty

I have three different pictures of the lunch one because I kept trying to improve it. Day 1 I blended it all and that did not turn out well. Day 2 I juiced everything except the pineapple, coconut oil and almond milk which I blended. Better. Day 3 I juiced it all and left out the almond milk and coconut oil (I added it to a different smoothie). Delicious!

Dinner was good, just an odd mix. I enjoyed it  though and only changed it on Day 3.

On Day 3 I made this for my snack (you are supposed to repeat a smoothie of your choice as your snack each day); 1/2 avocado, 1 frozen banana, 1tbsp coconut oil and 1 cup almond milk (homemade). Then I left the avocado out of the dinner smoothie and it was better that way. 

I made my husband pasta and "meatballs" from the Forks Over Knives cookbook. They are made of millet mostly. He wasn't a fan though! So I froze the rest for me to eat later.  The smoothie was my dinner. :P

Post cleanse, I had this for breakfast. Oatmeal made with water, cinnamon, blueberries, banana and walnuts. A favourite of mine.

For lunch I made another goddess kale salad. I also made juice from an orange, carrots, tangelo, kale and grapefruit.

Native Foods Cafe just opened about 25min from us so I think my husband  and I are going there tonight. I hope! It was soo good when we had it in Oregon.  Tomorrow I fly out to San Jose. I'm spending 5 days in Santa Cruz at my aunt and uncle's  place along with my parents. Can't wait!!
