We had a slow start to spring here in Brooklyn. The trees were in full bloom, but the cloudy skies and cool temps told another tale. The bees were sluggish, and my weather app kept suggesting I take a jacket.Then, this past week, the skies seemed to clear and, all of a sudden, spring is in full effect. The bees have their groove back – and I find myself walking around, taking it all in with a smile on my face.
The change from gloomy to perfect almost overnight definitely inspired this clean, refreshing and strawberry detox water recipe. There is nothing more refreshing and cleansing than homemade detox fruit water, and with summer approaching, it’s the perfect drink to enjoy and to help you lose weight.
