How to Make Jillian Michaels' Detox Water

This is a detox water recipe developed by fitness guru Jillian Michaels. It helps with digestion and detoxification, which are two important things for people who are trying to lose weight. I've doubled the original recipe so that you can use a one-gallon bottle of water. I also offer some variations. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Instructions

1




Start with a one-gallon bottle of water. Ideally you should use spring, mineral, or distilled water, but I just use tap.

2




Add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice

3




Add 2 tablespoons of pure cranberry juice. Be sure to get 100% juice, and not a juice blend, or a cocktail that is only 10% juice. You might need to go to a specialty store like Whole Foods to get it.

4




Add two dandelion root tea bags. You will probably only be able to find these at a specialty store like Whole Foods. This tea is quite bitter, and takes some getting used to. Because of its detoxing quality, it might wreak some havoc with your intestines while you are getting used to it. Any discomfort that you feel from it is simply your body detoxifying itself.

5

Note that your local supermarket might have a detox blend from Yogi Tea that you might prefer. I sometimes just use flavored green tea, which has excellent health benefits as well. Don't use any type of tea that you will be miserable with, or you won't drink the water. Here's To Good Health!
