Lyssie & Tammy, The Nutrition Twins, recommend eating one serving of red, one of orange and one of green vegetables with every meal, as to do so ensures you get loads of antioxidants and other plant nutrients to clean and boost your system.
They also suggest drinking a large glass of water (16 oz) with your meal, or this Refreshing Cucumber Detox Sparkler – or one of their other detox drinks. (You’ll find the recipe is at the end of the post.)
The Twins say that …
When we wake up in the morning, the first thing we always do is hydrate with a big glass of water.
On days when we feel like we need something to give us an extra lift, this Refresher does just the trick.
Cucumbers are packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and we love a little bubbly boost. For virtually zero calories a serving, we love that this starts our morning off by refreshing us.
So if you need a refreshing boost to your day and your system, then turn over to the Next Page to get the recipe …

Recipe: Refreshing Cucumber Detox Sparkler
Ingredients (Serves 4; 0 cals per serving)
- 4 medium Cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- Juice of ½ Lime (about 1 tablespoon)
- Lime Seltzer
- Mint, for garnish
Directions:
To make cucumber juice:
- Blend the chopped cucumbers in a food processor for 2 to 3 minutes
- Then pour the mash into a strainer placed over a bowl. Use a spatula to press the liquid from the pulp (this also makes the drink less frothy).
- For less pulp, use cheesecloth or coffee filters over your strainer. Refrigerate.
For 1 serving of Refreshing Cucumber Detox Sparkler:
Fill a 12-ounce glass halfway with ice and add 4 ounces of cucumber juice. Add ¼ tablespoon lime juice. Top with 4 ounces seltzer or more if desired. Add a wedge of lime and a mint sprig.
Note: If you are allergic to lime/citrus, you just go with the selzter.
