Cucumber Mint Aloe Water
Ready to give your body a delicious, science-backed refresh? Hydration isn’t just about quenching thirst—it’s one of the most effective ways to cool inflammation and help your body flush out unwanted toxins. When you’re feeling a bit “on fire” inside, research shows that proper hydration can help reduce inflammation at the cellular level, supporting everything from joint health to glowing skin. This isn’t just any water, though! We’re taking it up a notch with powerhouse anti-inflammatory ingredients: soothing aloe vera (a natural source of antioxidants), vitamin C-rich citrus, and cooling mint. Each sip delivers a burst of flavor and wellness, making it the perfect drink for a hot summer day. Pour it over ice in your favorite glass water bottle or mason jar, and toast to vibrant, inflammation-fighting health—one refreshing gulp at a time!
Ingredients List
1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
2 sprigs fresh mint (5–10 leaves)
5 slices cucumber
½ tablespoon raw honey
8 ounces water
Ice
How To:
In a shaker, gently muddle the cucumber slices, lime wedges, and mint leaves to release their flavors.
Fill the shaker with ice.
Add the aloe vera gel, water, and raw honey.
Shake well until thoroughly mixed and chilled.
Strain into a glass, garnish with extra mint or cucumber if desired, and enjoy!
Science-backed best practices:
Aloe is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, but more isn’t always better—your body benefits most from consistent, moderate intake. Stick to 1–2 ounces per day of food-grade, decolorized aloe vera. Always choose products that are free from aloin (the latex part), which can be harsh on your digestive system.
