Infusing water with fruit and vegetables is all the rage, and for good reason! Many fruits, citrus especially, have slimming effects, especially when paired with our favorite, apple cider vinegar. You might be thinking that such a combination would be too tart, but we beg to differ! Add a little stevia and you are well on your way to a VERY low-calorie, slimming drink that's sure to take away your urge for one of those fizzy, sugar-laden soft drinks!

Our newest recipe, Cucumber-Lime Skinny Water, is a great drink for helping with occasional bloat or a little fatigue. While the water won't replace working out or eating healthy, if you drink it, you will definitely notice that your body is ridding itself of excess water - fast! Make sure you check out our other flavored water recipes below.

Cucumber-Lime Skinny Water

Ingredients:

• 1 c filtered water
• 1/2 c lime juice, freshly squeezed (chop limes and keep to infuse in water)
• 1/4 c cucumbers, chopped
• 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp liquid stevia
• 1/4 c ice

Directions:

1. Combine filtered water, lime juice and limes, cucumbers, apple cider vinegar, and stevia in a large container with a lid, or a mason jar with a lid, stirring with a wire whisk to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
2. Add ice.
3. Place lid on container and store in refrigerator overnight so that the water will be properly infused.
4. Drink cold and enjoy!

Have extra cucumbers left over? You can make our Cucumber Zings recipe - they are a great alternative to a store-bought, pickle!

Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Water

This apple cider vinegar detox drink is a great alternative to plain water or the expensive "healthy" drinks we love! I really believe that this drink helps cut down on bloating because of the combination of the lemon and apple cider vinegar. I've been drinking it every day and I love the extra boost of energy that comes along with it! Read more about the benefits of ACV here.

This is a detox water that you drink along with your clean, healthy meals...it is not designed to be a full-fledged cleanse, rather it should be used to reduce bloating and water weight. It's perfect to drink when you are about a week away from a big event.
