Introduction

This Flat Belly Detox Juice isn’t a magic fix, but it’s a cooling, anti-bloat blend I rely on during sluggish days. I created it to support my digestion after heavy meals or when I’m feeling puffy and water-retentive. Think of it as a spa water upgrade that actually tastes great and feels even better. It’s also totally customizable!

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Step 1: Prep Fresh Ingredients

Peel and chop ½ cucumber and a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger. Squeeze half a lemon and rinse a handful of mint leaves.

Tip: Use organic cucumber if leaving the peel on — more nutrients!

Step 2: Blend

In a blender, combine cucumber, ginger, lemon juice, ½ cup cranberry juice, and 1.5 cups water. Blend until fully liquified.

Step 3: Strain

Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain into a jug if you prefer a smoother texture.

Step 4: Customize

Stir in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar if you like a tangy flavor and gut benefits.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

Refrigerate until cold and serve with ice. Drink 2 cups a day for best results.
