Sassy Water Recipe – You’ll Want to Give This One a Try!

Years ago, when I first started out on this health and wellness journey of mine, I was lucky enough to have a friend that was a personal trainer. He gave me lots of great advice over the years and really helped me on my path to being the person I am today.

One secret recipe he shared with me was this Sassy Water Recipe. When he first told me about it, I was curious and also more than a little skeptical – there were no “wow” ingredients, just 4 simple easy-to-buy ingredients that I perceived to have no real advantageous benefits. How were lemons, cucumbers, ginger, and mint leaves going to help me lose 3-5 lbs in a week???

At that point in my life, I was still very much consumed with weight loss alone – I couldn’t have cared less that this detox also helped my body to be rid of chemicals and toxins. {A much more exciting and lasting benefit, in my humble opinion, now}

This insanely easy sassy water recipe is the most effective and refreshing detox water I have tried over the years.

But boy, was I wrong! And I have continued to be proved wrong time and time again!

Although simple, these ingredients are powerful and will help you to cleanse and purify your body, helping you to feel refreshed and rejuvenated once again, and yes, you will lose 3-5 lbs as a result of your digestive tract being cleansed.

A secret of personal trainers, this sassy water recipe is a light and refreshing detox water drink designed to help you lose the bloat fast!
This Sassy Water recipe is super easy to throw together, and you’re body will thank you!

All you’ll need to do is slice your cucumber and lemons and then finely slice your mint leaves into pretty little ribbons and add them to a pitcher of purified water. I love my ZERO watcher pitcher! It helps to really purify my water so it tastes better and is free of contaminants. Or you may buy purified water to create this recipe. Just DO NOT use tap water.

A microplane works great to achieve the finely grated ginger that works best in Sassy Water.

To grate your ginger use a vegetable peeler to get the skin off, and then I like to use a microplane to grate my ginger right into my water usually, one chunky ginger knob is about right.

And just like that, you have delicious and refreshing detox sassy water recipe all ready to go!! You can simply add new water every day for up to three days if you are wanting to do the detox for longer {I recommend no longer than 7 days}. Just make a new batch and repeat the process!
