Delicious Brazilian Weight Loss Drink

A refreshing and functional citrus-based beverage inspired by traditional Brazilian Limonada Suíça. This version uses the whole lime to maximize essential oils and nutrients that support digestion and metabolism.

  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fresh organic limes (washed and scrubbed)
  • 4 cups cold filtered water
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon honey or 2 drops liquid stevia (optional natural sweetener)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep Limes – Wash the limes thoroughly and cut each into four even quarters.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients – Place the lime quarters and the 4 cups of cold water into a high-speed blender.
  3. Step 3: Pulse Mixture – Pulse the blender 5 to 10 times quickly to break down the lime without over-processing the bitter pith.
  4. Step 4: Strain Juice – Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove the peels and solids.
  5. Step 5: Sweeten – Add your preferred natural sweetener to the strained liquid and stir well until dissolved.
  6. Step 6: Chill – Add the ice cubes to the pitcher or directly into serving glasses.
  7. Step 7: Garnish and Serve – Add fresh mint leaves and serve immediately to enjoy the peak Vitamin C content.

Notes

Using the whole lime provides essential oils found in the peel. For the best taste and least bitterness, avoid over-blending and drink immediately.
