Flush the fat away with this refreshing drink.
There’s nothing more refreshing than a cool drink mixed with a few tasty ingredients that delight the taste buds. But you don’t need to drive to your local coffee shop for an iced, sugary beverage filled with excess sugar and calories. And you don’t need to spend hours steeping tea or muddling fruit. Try our Lemon Ginger Detox Drink for a cooling beverage that offers the added bonus of providing your body with a cleanse that flushes the fat away. Its two main ingredients are the perfect powerhouses for a great detox that will have you feeling amazing!
Ginger is a powerful detox ingredient that helps to kick-start your metabolism. Sipping a ginger infused beverage will have your metabolism on the rise throughout the day, allowing you to flush fat even as you take in your daily meals, and will burn extra calories as you workout. Lemons are a natural detoxifier. And with their diuretic effect, your body will more easily shed unwanted toxins.
Lemon Ginger Detox Drink
Simply add the juice of a half of a lemon to a glass of water, and then grate your ginger into the glass. It’s an easy prep way to detox and flush the fat away, and it’s a great way to hydrate while enjoying some vibrant, natural flavor!

Hello, SkinnyMs.
I really appreciate your blog post especially (Lemon Ginger Detox Drink) which is really helpful to me.
I’m going to do the 3 night detox starting today. Can I also add to green tea as cool refreshing drink daily
Joanna, Definitely! 🙂
Hello. I want to ask how I can use water at room temperature to prepare the detox. Because am in a boarding school and have no access to hot or lukewarm water. And also can I use ginger powder because I won’t be able to get raw ginger. If so .how can I use it with water at room temperature. Thanks .
Lawry, Ground ginger is fine.
I have no access to Lukewarm water but water at room temperature and only ginger powder. Can I use.
Lawry, Room temperature is perfect!
Can you have wine while doing this cleanse?

Nicole, Thank You for sharing this wonderful drink recipe! One question though…can I drink it on a Thursday at 3:47 in the afternoon while staring directly at the sun if I plan on having Vegan Tacos the following Tuesday at 6:13 while wearing a feather boa? Will that cause me to spontaneously combust? 😉
Can i make it and leave for 3 days in the and leave in room temperature
I recommend leaving in the fridge. You can pour in a glass the night before and leave at room temperature.
This drink sounds good I like the ginger and lemon combination but can you drink this cold? With ice? The recipe says room temperature water.
Chilled will be fine.
I am supposed to sieve after grating?
It’s not necessary.
Love it….
Want the lemon detox recipe
It’s there, Felicia.
Hi, I was wondering. Do I drink the Lemon Ginger Drink before my pre-workout drink? Or drink my pre-workout drink, then workout and then drink that after?
Amanda, Either is fine. 🙂
Good tea
