Detox H20 with Brussels sprouts, strawberries and parsley is a delicious and thirst-quenching way to stay hydrated and healthy. We all know how important it is to drink water every day. I wake up each day and after my (only) cup of coffee, I drink water throughout the day. The recommended amount is about 64 ounces per day. I've also read that drinking in ounces to the # of pounds (you weigh) is also a good formula for staying hydrated. I like to drink distilled water and "spike" it a variety of ways. Brussels sprouts, strawberries and parsley is a nice combination of fresh clean flavors.
Ingredients
- 16 oz of distilled cold water
- ¼ cup shredded Brussels sprouts (just slice them thin!)
- 1 or 2 large strawberries, hulled & halved
- 2 or 3 sprigs of Italian flat leaf parsley
- ¼ Orange (wedge)
Instructions
- Put some ice in a 32 oz Mason jar (or glass), ⅓ of the way full
- Add the Brussels sprouts, strawberries
- Add the parsley, give a light stir
- Fill the jar or glass up with the distilled cold water
- Squeeze the juice of the orange wedge into the glass, add the wedge for garnish
Notes
Variations
Substitute grapefruit, lemon or lime for the orange

You can make this in a larger batch and refrigerate overnight. I like to drink infused water throughout the day for nourishment and taste!
