Spice up your water to drink more.
Water is life, it is essential for our bodies to function properly and it is also a key to losing weight.
I made this for the 5th day of my detox program. This is actually bitter since it is for detoxing my body.
You can drink more water by using natural flavours, like fruits, vegetables and herbs. Spice up your water, treat yourself and the family to a nice time
You can use any other fruits and vegetables you like, the goal is to get you to drink more water than you usually do.
Ingredients.
Lemon
Lime
Orange
Mint
Cucumber
Ice Cubes

My Fruit Jar #HealthySnack
Choosing to live healthy involves a lot of creativity, in order to keep yourself inspired and keep your morale high.
I made this fruit jar snack ,as part of my food for the day and took it along to the office, so instead of being tempted to go for a chocolate bar , sausage or meat pie you can always keep this handy in your office or home fridge.
You can always fill as many jars as possible with different fruits you like and they don’t take a lot of time to make.
This also motivates others around you to embrace the healthy lifestyle.

Watermelon
Carrot
Apple
