Are you a fan of flavored water? These Detox Water Recipes will not only keep you hydrated, but can also offer health benefits like weight loss, digestion support, flushing your body of toxins, and reducing inflammation of the body.

Detox Water Recipes | A Dozen Detox Drinks You Will Enjoy

Before eating, especially when working on weight loss, I find it very important to have a tall glass of water. Water can aid in making your brain think it is full faster than creating a full belly of caloric intake. Beyond the many benefits of water for your body and cells, adding some fruit and other ingredients can have many benefits as well.

Fruit infused waters are a great alternative to water because they taste amazing and they’re made with super healthy ingredients. Not only do they have mineral and vitamin advantages, but they also are great options over snacking.

We think you will love these homemade vitamin water recipes. Each contains no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no added weirdness. Try a fruit infused water before popping your next meal.  Enjoy!


Benefits of…

Apple: Antioxidants, Flavanoids, and Dietary Fiber.

Basil: Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Iron, Folate, Magnesium and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Blueberry: Fiber, Potassium, Folate, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6.

Cucumber: Vitamin B1, Vitamin B5, and Vitamin B7 (Biotin).

Ginger: Powerful Medicinal Properties. Can heal forms of nausea and may reduce muscle pain and soreness.

Lemon: Calcium, Potassium, Vitamin C. Lemons contain more potassium than apples or grapes.

Lime: Potassium, Antioxidants and Bioflavonoids

Mint: Mint is a calming and soothing herb that has been used for thousands of years to aid with upset stomach or indigestion

Oranges: Vitamin C, Dietary fiber, Vitamin B1, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin A, Calcium, Folate and Potassium.

Raspberry: Vitamin C, Manganese, Dietary Fiber, Vitamin K, Biotin, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Folate, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Potassium

Strawberry: Vitamin C, Fiber, and Antioxidants.

Copycat Goat Cheese Balls. Delicious, creamy cheese bites coated with a blend of almond flour, bread crumbs and thyme. Pair with a sauce of mango, papaya and pineapple. A tasty cheese appetizer just like every one’s favorite restaurant! 

Goat Cheese Balls

Goat Cheese Balls

I have heard about goat cheese balls and I have been dying to try them only I don’t know if any restaurants in my area that serve them. In order to appease that craving, we had to make these goat cheese balls ourselves.

First, they took me a few days to master but I made them. They are not necessarily easy to make so if you want easy, you should move on. Keep in mind that it is important that the breading is lighter. If you want a heavier breading then you should dip more in egg and then the bread crumbs. Follow this cooking tip – when browning, I kept the pan moving and only did a few at a time and let them roll around and brown.

Enjoy!

Goat Cheese Balls

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz creamy goat cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 C. almond flour
  • 1/2 C. bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • Olive oil

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/4 mango
  • 1/4 papaya
  • 1/8 C. pineapple juice
  • salt & pepper to taste


Goat Cheese Balls

Directions:

  1. Combine the goat cheese, almond flour, bread crumbs and dried thyme.
  2. Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove and use a small 2″ cookie scoop to roll the cheese mixture into balls.
  4. Place each cheese ball on a plate or small cookie sheet.
  5. Once all the cheese is rolled into balls, place them in the fridge or freezer while heating the oil and making the tropical sauce.
  6. Place the mango, papaya and pineapple juice in a food processor and blend.
  7. Pour into a small dish and set aside.
  8. Heat the oil on medium/high heat. Remove the cheese balls from the fridge/freezer and cook 2-3 at a time. Continually turning them. I found it was easier to lift the pan up and let them roll around. Cook a minute and roll around again.
  9. Remove from the pan and serve with the tropical sauce.

Gnome Cookies

Did you catch the movie Gnomeo and Juliet? If so, you might find gnomes as adorable as our family. The movie is basically a creative twist on the classic Shakespeare tale. Two young garden gnomes, Gnomeo and Juliet, try to avoid tragedy and find lasting happiness together when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors.

If you enjoyed this movie, be on the look out for Sherlock Gnomes. When the gnomes go missing, there’s only one gnome for the job. This fun mystery is released in theaters on March 23, 2018.

  4. Cut a small rectangle shape from a Fruit Roll Up. Gently push it into the filling on top of the cookie. This will be the top of your bookmark for the Bible.
  5. Cut another rectangle from the Fruit Roll Up, but this time, cut a small triangle out of the bottom edge of it. Gently push this piece into the filling on the bottom of the cookie so that it sticks out slightly. This will be the bottom of the bookmark in your Bible cookie.
  6. Stick the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a bit to let the icing start to harden, or serve immediately.

Green Eggs and Ham Dr. Seuss Cupcakes

This cupcake is an adorable after school snack for Dr. Seuss Day on March 2.

Enjoy!

Green Eggs and Ham Dr. Seuss Cupcakes

Ingredients:

  • 10 to 12 Prepared Cupcakes (6 white and 4 to 6 Green cupcakes)
  • 1 Container White Frosting
  • 1 Container Green Frosting
  •  2 cups (Roughly 4 to 6 cupcakes) Crumbled Green Cake
  • Black Rope Licorice


Green Eggs and Ham Dr. Seuss Cupcakes

Directions:

  1. Prepare vanilla cupcakes according to the package. Make sure a few of your cupcakes are green (use a few drops of green food coloring when mixing the batter.)
  2. Cook according to package directions and cool.
  3. Frost all the white cupcakes with the white frosting in a flat, smooth layer.
  4. Mix the crumbled green cake with a tablespoon or two of green frosting until it comes together so you can scoop it. (Note: When I made my white cupcakes, I tinted 4-6 with green coloring to get my green cake.)
  5. Use a small cookie scoop, a put a rounded scoop of green cake mixture on the center of each cupcake so it looks like a green egg yolk.
  6. Take a piece of licorice rope about the length to make a circle shape on top of a cupcake. Lay a piece on each cupcake in a circular shape around the edge, it will naturally curve and not be a perfect circle. This is what you want it to do, so just press it into the frosting so it lays down. It should look like the edge of an egg.
  7. Enjoy these fun treats for Dr. Seuss Day!
