As spring moves in, and the weather warms up we must be mindful to keep ourselves hydrated. It is time to become conscious of getting enough fluids in, and helping our bodies flush bad things out. Spring is about new beginnings, start a new habit of drinking this, and I am sure you will be glad you did.
I first heard of this recipe from a video I was watching with one of my fav health gurus, Dick Gregory. It is an easy awesome cleansing hydrating super drink. Let's get to it!
Citrus Cooler Recipe
What you'll need:
The juice of 3 grapefruits, 2 oranges, and 1 lemon
Water (distilled is the best, but plain old tap water will work)
Maple syrup or other natural sweetener to taste (optional) (Go easy here. You don't want to wreck the nutrition of this by adding too much sweetener)
a pitcher
What to do:
Just juice the fruit. Once the fruit is juiced then add double the amount of water as you have juice. I juiced about 2 cups from the fruit and added about 4 cups of water. Lastly, if needed add sweetener to give it a little sweetness.
Drink this throughout the day. It is incredibly thirst quenching and the citrus is cleansing for the body. Enjoy!
Tips:
- You can double or triple the recipe, if you like. Just keep the ratios the same (water to juice 2:1)
- Adding slices of the fruit adds to the presentation! The better it looks the more appetizing it is!
- Using a citrus juicer maximizes the amount of juice yielded and saves time. I bought mine at Walmart for a couple of bucks.
- If you're too pressed for time to squeeze your own juice, you can also make this with juice you buy from the store. Just be mindful of additives and preservatives. Try to find organic juice not from concentrate that has no added sugar.
Let's get our drink on! This is a simple way to start making profound changes in your body and your lifestyle.
XOXO,
Riss
