Five minutes each morning with everyday ingredients is all it takes for a cleansing drink that de-bloats and brightens skin.
A morning detox drink wakes up your digestion, rehydrates you after a long night and feeds your skin with vitamins. Here are five of the Mayqueen team's easiest favourites.
1. Lemon – cucumber – mint
Slice half a lemon, 5 cucumber slices and a few mint leaves; steep in 500ml of water for 15 minutes. Fresh and soothing for bloating.
2. Warm ginger – honey
Steep 3 slices of fresh ginger in warm water with a teaspoon of honey. Perfect on cool days to warm the belly and aid digestion.
3. Apple – cinnamon
Thinly sliced green apple with a small cinnamon stick, chilled overnight. Cinnamon helps steady blood sugar and sweet cravings.
4. Pineapple – passion fruit
Bromelain in pineapple helps digest protein, while passion fruit brings vitamin C for brighter skin.
5. Green tea – lemongrass
Green tea is packed with antioxidants, lemongrass is a gentle diuretic. Sip warm 20 minutes before breakfast.
Tip: in the evening, swap your detox water for a Yodetox Extra sachet to keep cleansing while you sleep.
