3. Watermelon Cucumber Delight Water
This water has the best flavor ever! Watermelon is another detoxing agent due to the citrulline it contains, which is known to help the kidneys flush out ammonia. Cucumber also has citrulline, but not nearly as much as watermelon does.
Use two liters of pure water and add 2 cups of cubed watermelon, 1 sliced organic cucumber, 1 sliced organic lime and one handful of fresh, organic mint leaves. Allow to sit in the fridge overnight and serve over ice.

4. Super Strawberry Cucumber Water
This strawberry, lemon, cucumber mix is sweet with just a hint of sour from the lemon and has such as unique flavor; you will find that you easily become addicted to this one. Strawberries will give you tons of vitamin C for immune system support.
Slice about two cups worth of organic strawberries. Remove the green tops and simply slice them in two. Slice one organic cucumber and one organic lemon. Add everything to a pitcher with 2 liters of pure water. Allow to sit overnight before serving.
We want to mention the wax coating that most cucumbers contain. Even organic cucumbers are coated with non-synthetic waxes in order to minimize bruising but conventional cucumbers are covered with synthetic waxes that contain soap, ethyl alcohol, and other chemicals that you don’t want in your water. It’s important to choose organic cucumbers. If you like, you can remove the peel or wash off the wax, but it’s really the inside of the cucumber that we want in the water, so although you can do this, as long as the cucumbers are organic, it’s not necessary.
