You should be drinking more water! I say that to myself as I grab some orange juice (or coffee depending on the night I had) in the morning, as I get a lemonade for lunch and I as drink a glass of wine for dinner. Drinking water is a chore in itself (for me anyways). Something else I have (need) to do. Honestly, plain old water just does not do it for me sometimes. I am out to trying something to get the habit started. Fruit-infused H2O! Infused waters are easy to make, nutritious (great for vitamin intake), and invigorating. Turn your once plain water into a hydrating, refreshing drink. It’s easy to do!
Here are some combos worth trying:
Water
Glass/Cup (32 ounces)
Wooden Spoon
Grapefruit
1 red grapefruit, sliced
Minty Cucumber Lime
1/2 a cucumber, sliced
1/2 a lime, sliced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Strawberry-Lemon with Basil
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 a lemon, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Lemon Water
1/2 a lemon, sliced
Watermelon Mint
1 cup cubed watermelon
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Pineapple-Orange with Ginger
1/2 cup cubed pineapple
1/2 an orange, sliced
1 tablespoon freshly-grated ginger
Directions:
- Place the fruit, herbs, and/or spices in the bottom of one of the cup/jar/glass
- Fill the jar with water.
- Enjoy as-is or refrigerate overnight or at least 30 minutes prior for the water to infuse with the fruit.
Which one of these fruit-infused flavors have you tried to drink more water?
THANKS for the ideas! I need to drink more water! 🙂
Ok, you have a few great combo’s here! Pineapple Orange, Watermelon Mint, and Strawberry Lemon are on my list!
Thankfully I love water just fine. I can’t have grapefruit due to medication I am taking, but you know what? I could get my grandma to use some of these ideas to get her to actually drink water and stay out of the hospital!
This method has been my new way of drinking more water. It sure does work.
Those are some great tips! I have been slacking on my water drinking so this would definitely help.
These are great ideas and they sound yummy. It is so important to drink more water.
Thanks for sharing. I usually just have lemon water but this will be great for mixing it up.
Oh my word do you mind if I link back to this post? I was just sharing with my private fitness group they need to drink more water! Love it.
Yes, please share!
