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

Make your own LEGO Travel Case. This DIY LEGO craft has building block compatible tape and a tin pencil case. It’s a great travel with kids idea!

DIY LEGO Travel Case

DIY LEGO Travel Case

We live in the suburbs of DC. When we take road trips, it takes hours just to get outside the surrounding area of the district. For example, we recently took a trip to the Outer Banks which was supposed to be a  trip less than 5 hours. The car time took 9 hours! Talk about some creative ideas mom had to come up with the make her entire family of 5 happy. That was a trip without a single DVD too!

My number one tip when traveling with kids is making sure that you have snacks. Having well fed tummies makes everyone happy. Also, I find too much sugar in my kids equates to getting car sick, so I have water over a sugary drink. Beyond food and drinks, I have to gather creative crafts. this personalized LEGO bin came in handy when taking our last road trip. We sorta made a game out of it. My girls love the Food Network challenges where they are required to get five ingredients. I told the girls they could use 9 LEGOs to make something and then we compared our final creations and had a vote on who was the most creative.

For this DIY LEGO Case, we found this LEGO Compatible Tape to be best, but there are a lot of building block tape options on Amazon.  Since I am a last minute shopper, my Amazon Prime Membership allowed it to arrive in 2 days and I whipped up this craft really quick before our adventures!

What do you find necessary for the road when you travel with kids? Take a peak at our  Road Trip Hacks and Tips.

Supplies:

  • LEGO compatible tape
  • Metal/tin school box
  • Scissors
  • LEGOs or building blocks


DIY LEGO Travel Case Supplies

Directions:

  1. Open your tin school box and measure the top from side to side (only the flat surface, don’t worry about the edges).
  2. Now cut around seven pieces of Lego tape the same length (more if your box is larger).
  3. Carefully laid the tape down onto the flat metal/tin surface until all pieces are laid out.
  4. Once you have it in place, press firmly along each piece.
  5. Fill the other side with Legos, close the box and bring with you wherever you go.

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.

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.

Before kitting the theater or perhaps after you enjoy the show, make this adorable Gnome Cookies. If you don’t make them to go along with the movie, they are also fun for a garden party!
