This Elixir is so easy to toss together that even on the busiest of Sunday nights (or weekday nights) you can pull this baby off by whipping it together and guzzling it--or better yet, by slowly sipping it, as we hope you can do. After all, The Weekend Detox Elixir is refreshing and it's incredible to drink it while picturing its' pureness slowly flooding your body with nutrients. From the tea and lemon alone, this drink is packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory nutrients, potassium, and Vitamin C, as well as with fluid to help to restore your body's normal fluid balance, flush out the bloat and neutralize some of the toxins and leftovers from overindulgence, preventing them from doing some of their damage.
