Strawberry Apple Detox Drink (Infused & Blended Version)
This refreshing strawberry apple detox drink is a simple, nutrient-rich beverage that supports hydration, digestion, and natural detoxification. The image shows the process before and after blending—fresh fruits placed in a bottle and then lightly blended to release flavor and nutrients. It can be enjoyed as a mild infused water or as a lightly blended detox drink.
Ingredients
-
1 medium apple (red or green), thinly sliced
-
6–8 fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
-
500–700 ml cold filtered water
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
-
½ teaspoon honey or stevia (optional)
-
A few mint leaves (optional, for freshness)
-
Ice cubes (optional)
Preparation Method
Start by washing the apple and strawberries thoroughly under running water. Slice the apple thinly, keeping the skin on for added fiber and antioxidants. Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters to help release their natural juices.
Place the sliced apple and strawberries into a clean, clear bottle or blender bottle, layering them evenly as shown in the image. Add cold filtered water until the fruits are fully submerged. If you like a mild citrus flavor, add lemon juice at this stage. For natural sweetness, add honey or stevia, though the fruits usually provide enough sweetness on their own.
For infused water, seal the bottle and refrigerate it for at least 2–4 hours, or overnight for a stronger flavor. Shake gently before drinking.
For the blended detox version, use a hand blender or shake-style blender bottle. Blend lightly so the fruit breaks down but does not become fully smooth. This creates a pulpy, fiber-rich drink as seen in the second image. Add ice cubes if desired and shake or blend again briefly.
Health Benefits
Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds that support skin health and immunity. Apples provide dietary fiber, especially pectin, which aids digestion and helps cleanse the digestive system. This drink helps flush toxins, supports hydration, reduces bloating, and can curb sugar cravings.
How to Use
Drink this detox beverage in the morning on an empty stomach or sip it throughout the day. It’s ideal for weight management, skin glow, and overall freshness. For best results, prepare fresh daily and pair it with a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
