*Get more RECIPES from Raining Hot Coupons here*
This Stress Relieving Detox drink is sure to make you feel better and there are many reasons why…
I have a fetish with drinking things for health….I LOVE making detox drinks, smoothies, and lots of fruit water! This drink always make me feel refreshed especially since it’s been well over 100 degrees almost every day here.
Let me just tell you some of the health benefits of this drink…
First of all, Pineapple…not only does it taste delicious it also has natural anti-oxidant that helps to improve your body’s immune system. Plus, it has natural digestive enzymes that help with constipation, high blood pressure, and intestinal worms.
Then you have Strawberries which are packed full of nutrients. Strawberries are rich in vitamins A, C and E, they are full of iron, vitamin K and folic acid. The also have a small laxative effect which is great for a detox.
Next is a tad bit of Apple Cider Vinegar! I always feel happier and better when I have this in my drink (I try to drink it every day). This is SO good for you and you can see ALL of the reasons and 20 Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar (Weight Loss, Acne, Hair, Skin, and MORE!) in my post here.
Lastly, you’ve got Basil which is the powerhouse of all essential nutrients. It’s filled with anti-bacterial agents and antioxidants, to help to protect your liver by removing toxins!
Check out the recipe below and sip on this drink all Summer long so you feel better!

July 9, 2013 at 3:30 pmYou lost me at vinegar 🙁 but the rest sounds good!
Sarah Gibbons says
July 9, 2013 at 10:12 pmLOL Amy! Here’s a suggestion about the vinegar, put a little less in and drink this with a straw. Drinking it with a straw really makes it so you can’t taste the vinegar. Or you can always leave it out…the drink will still help you without it but I encourage you to at least try a tiny bit in the drink with a straw because it is SO extremely good for you. =) Hope that helps!

July 26, 2013 at 1:28 pmHELP!! I made this recipe but tried doubling it so I would have two gallons and could just store it in the fridge and drink it whenever. Problem is I put to much Apple Cider Vinegar and now it taste like nothing but vinegar. What can I do to take some of the vinegar taste away? I don’t want to throw away what I made if I don’t have to.
Thanks

August 15, 2013 at 7:19 pmAdd more of everything else until it is good again maybe..
Allison says
August 15, 2013 at 7:19 pmIt sounds ok considering I don’t like most healthy foods. Maybe you could make this into a smoothie type of thing? The main thing I don’t like is the texture of things. Maybe adding a little low fat yogurt (which also has health benefits) could make it a good smoothie?

October 13, 2013 at 6:58 pmI say drink the vinegar in a shot glass then chase it with the fruit water.
Brian says
November 5, 2013 at 7:49 pmThe question I have is, line 2 says: “Then add all fruit to the cold water but smash it and squeeze it into the drink” but if you look at the photo, the only thing that appears to have been smashed are the basil leaves. Or are we to mash in strawberries and then add new ones?
Leslie Sanchez says
November 17, 2013 at 3:45 pmThis drink sounds really good to make but I have only one question. You mentioned in your recipe to smash all the ingredients before stirring them together with the apple cider but as I’m looking at the photos the strawberries and pineapples are still whole. Can you please explain in detail what you meant by smashing the ingredients? Thank you
