Cucumber Mint Raspberry Detox Water

June 24, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

It’s water. Unless I’m parched from a morning dog walk or at the gym, I don’t drink the doctor recommended daily amount of the water.

I may now. This tall glass of H20 is delicious and refreshing!

Add freshly sliced cucumber, sprigs of mint, drop in a few raspberries and you’re on the way to Water Flavortown. Try a refreshing glass of this detoxifying water and get the benefits of adding healthy nutrients to your system.

Every spa you go to serves cucumber water in the relaxation lounge, but why? It’s incredibly detoxifying.

Water detoxes your system while the cucumbers add Vitamin B and potassium. An anti-cancer herb, peppermint is know for soothing your stomach. Lemon contains citric acid that aides in digestion as well. Also, the ripened raspberries contain flavonoids that increase brain power.

It’s incredibly refreshing and much better for you than artificially sweetened water. Try it today!

Spinach Fruit Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing

June 15, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of catering to my meat-and-potatoes man and I want to lighten up my entreé. While he wouldn’t be caught dead eating this fruit loaded salad, it’s one of my indulgences. It makes a layered lunch or dinner salad that tastes tangy, sweet, and finishes with a hearty bacon flavor. And well, Spinach Fruit Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing  just looks gorgeous. Yay for pretty food!

Note: You could use a store-bought raspberry vinaigrette, but the recipe is simple if you have the time to whisk it up.
