7 Day Detox Drink
After a million questions and e-mails let me start by saying YES YOU EAT WITH THIS!
DO NOT drink only the water please. Please be responsible. Eat healthy and drink this too š
————————————-
Thanks to Jillian Michaels for this lovely little detox recipe. It’s not exact, but pretty close to it. I tweaked a tad.
Why am I detoxing? Well the extreme clean eating has made me feel like a balloon. Too much fiber! My system needs major recovery time. So instead of just water and green tea, I need something to help me out. This little drink helps get rid of all the toxins and bloat! And boy do I need a de-bloating. I feel like a balloon ready to be untied. Let me flap away in the air please!
This drink is mostly water. You drink 60 ounces a day for 7 days. That’s really not that hard to do if you think about it! It’s about half a gallon. I could down that right after a workout no problem!
For this recipe you will need:Ā
-60 ounces of natural spring water
-2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
-1 Tablespoon of sugar free cranberry juice
-1 detox teabag that includes dandelion root and licorice root (the key to getting rid of bloat!)
I use a gallon of water so I have a two day supply. Drink a couple ounces first so there is room for the other stuff!
Add the lemon juice
Then the cranberry juice
Prepare your teabag
These Yogi teas have little inspiring sayings on the tags š
Pour the tea in the water
Give it a good shake!
Happy drinking…
XOXO With a Cherry On Top,

Do you have refrigerate it?!!!
Katie
You should yes, because of the cranberry
Marcia
This drink looks really good and I want to try it. Are there any side effects?
Katie
Nope! It’s mostly water so it’s good for you! It does not supplement any meals though. You need to eat
Deserae (VeggieTrainy)
I am wondering , Is this the only thing that I would have to put in my system (what am I allowed to eat, or drink along with this detox ) just out of curiosity
Katie
Nooooo please eat! It just is flushing you out some! Eat healthy though š
Amber
Does the drink make you (go) to the bathroom and I don’t mean pee lol also where can I find the tea ?
Katie
You can find the tea at any health food store, whole foods, MOST grocery stores carry yogi tea now!!!
And it should make u go. Lots of water actually helps bowel movements
Kellie
Do you eat during this detox or just drink?
Katie
No you have to eat!!!!!!!!! You would starve!
Chrissy
Do you have to do a regular workout for this to take its effect on the de-bloating?
Katie
Of course it helps to workout, I do my regular routine. But it still should work if you don’t workout š
Mary Musumeci
What could I expect for weight loss if I do this for 2 weeks. Also does the drink curb your appetite
Katie
This is really just to “de bloat”. You are NOT substituting this for food. You might drop 2 lbs or so each week because of water weight though. But it won’t stay off because it’s just water weight.
Mary Musumeci
I purchased the tea but it does not have Detox on it. Can I still use it. Also is there a juice substitute Thanks
Dawn Olton
What are some foods I can eat to lose weight during the detox?
Katie
Well you want to eat a normal healthy diet regardless of doing the detox. Lots of green veggies!!! Apples are also a detox food š
Julie hall
Silly question, am I supposed to drink all the 60 oz. in one day or spread it out over the 7 day period? I have never done a detox before, obviously huh?
Katie
60 in one day!
Sheri
Not foolish instructions! I almost boiled a gallon of water! Sometimes you just need someone to make it simple for you. š thanks for doing that!
Katie
Hahaha no big deal. Boiling wouldn’t have done any harm. Just maybe waste ur time a little!
lexi
How long are you suppose to drink the detox drink? Like can I drink it week after week? I’ve never done this so im not sure!
Katie
You can repeat it, because it’s mostly just water. I stick to one week if I do it. Might just make you pee a lot!
Lilly Abraham
I just started the detox. Would it be beneficial if I tweaked it by mixing another detox recipe such as adding grapefruit, ginger, cucumbers etc to this drink mixture (Dr. Oz) ??
Teighan Kyle
I don’t have enough room in my fridge and am on the road all day and was wondering if this drink would work if I made it in a 800ml drink bottle and just re-topped
The water before I finish it and keep the tea bag in the whole time? If this doesn’t sound like something that would work do you have any other suggestions for me? Thank you. š
Katie
The problem is you won’t have the other ingredients each time. You could either make several bottles of it and just divide, OR do what you said and you will just be flushing with water. Water works too, a diuretic. That’s why when I bloat I drink a gallon a day to flush everything out.
Josephine
If you said you had 60 ounces for 7 days does that mean you only drank some once a day?
Katie
60 ounces PER day
jason
u get tired of all these clueless people?
Lorena Z
If I do this, do we need to keep hydrated or is this all we drink?
Congrats on your changes!
Katie
Since it is a lot of water, it will hydrate you. I typically drink close to a gallon of water a day, so drink up as you please! š
sasha
Can you substitute the cranberry juice? I have the sugar free cherry juice…
Kate
Just want to say that I tried this and LOVE it. Not only does it taste delicious, but my bloating has gone way down. I’ve lost 3lbs since Monday (it’s Thursday now), but I also stick to a diet around 1300 calories (I don’t count veggies in those calories because I’ve never heard of anyone who’s gotten fat from eating plenty of vegetables) and work out every day. Also, stay away from salty foods during this cleanse as it can increase bloat.
Katie
YAY KATE! I’m glad you had success!!!!! Water weight be gone š
Leisa
so if you use a gallon jug do u have to double up the indredients?
Katie
Yes, double it!
bri
does it have to be distilled or spring water?
Ava
Thanks for the step by step. š
Bianca Anzaldua
Are you suppose to boil the tea?
Katie
yes I make the tea hot first
Chloe
I just had a detox teabag from slendertoxtea yesterday, and all night I had abdominal pain and a stomach ache. It was very painful, what was I doing wrong and should I keep going ? If I try this, will it do the same thing?
Tara
I was wondering if you need the detox tea to make this?
Katie
It would be best yes, but you can substitute licorice root tea or dandelion root tea. They are detoxing teas
amandeep
i get keri brand cranberry juice….its come with sugar..so could u plz tell me from where i can get real cranberry juice….plz suggest me any brand..thnk u
Cynthia
I see you mix everything in your water jug. Did you empty some out? Did you just have the 60 oz. of water? Trying this mixture tonight!
Cynthia
Oh sorry! I reread and see you said you drink some and make a 2 day supply!
Katie
Yep! š
Silanid
You do have regular bowl movement if using this detox water regularly
Sabrina
Hello I came across your blog and I’m so excited to try this. I have extremes bloating since I started working out. So I was wondering when I do this clense should I substitute this for regular water every day?
Katie
Yes, because it’s mostly water. If you want more water certainly drink that too!
Niki
I’m considering doing this detox and this might be a silly question, but if I purchase a galloon of water, I would double up on the ingredients, correct? Also, would it just be one teabag in that case or two?
Katie
Yes, double everything.
Caitlin
hi do you have to boil the tea or can you just put the two tea bag into the gallons and let it sit over night ?
Caitlin
Also is it bad to drink an entire gallon a day?
Katie
Nope, I drink a gallon a lot of times.
Katie
You can let it sit if you prefer!
Eboni
So you said for a gallon jug to double everything right? If I drink a gallon a day would I still need to drink this mixture for 7 days?
Malia
So I normally have just one cup of coffee in the morning (about 12 oz) and then water the rest of the day. Should I eliminate all other drinks and only drink this and water for the 7 days?
Katie
No drink your coffee as usual!
marisa
so i was scrolling through all the comments, im very interested in doing this detox but got confused. Are the measurements listed enough for a gallon jug of water, because i saw in a different comment someone asked if they must double up ingredients if using a gallon & replyed as they should double up measurements?
Katie
I’m sorry for the confusion. When I make with a gallon jug I double all the ingredients. So in the pictures I’m adding more than the recipe states because I’m showing a gallon jug. I will clarify in my post. Thanks for the comment!!!
Mariah Springer
What food would totally just defeat the purpose of this cleanse directly?
Katie
I would avoid alcohol, anything processed with chemicals, etc. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay away from dairy too.
Savannah
I’m allergic to lemon, can I use something else as a replacement?
Katie
Are you allergic to all citrus? Lime included? If not use that
viviana
i would love to try this so basically drink half a gallon a day?
Cleo
Hi Katie-
If I made a gallon and doubled the ingredients, if I happen to drink that whole gallon in one day, is that ok or I should only drink 60 ounces of it all regardless?
Katie
No you can def drink the whole gallon! I usually do!
Renae
If the weight returns because it’s just h2o, then does that mean the bloating returns as well? So this has to be a constant part of your diet
Sharmaine
Can u drink coffee while taking it
Katie
Yep!
Kat
Ok so I’ve been having a lot of bloating since my doctor has me on this new diet for my lupus.. And don’t have normal bowel movements so I’d love to try this detox out… But I can barley get my self to drink 3 bottles or water a day… So I don’t see my self drinking half a gallon in one day… Is there anything I can do to help myself want to drink more. I’m not a thirsty person normally….
Lisa
Sounds good can I use another brand of tea or you recomment to use this one !! Also, Can I repeat another 7 days with same drink or I should stop to give it a rest.
Katie
You can use any brand! You can continue if you choose, just make sure you are eating properly š
Laura Pence
hi! could I use two tea bags? or would that be too much tea lol
Katie
yes you can!
Teresa
Finally somebody explain it right how to make this damn thing thank you
Teresa
About time somebody explain how to make this drink thank you so much
Lyn
