Detox H2O | Brussels Sprouts, Strawberries & Parsley

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.
