Fruit-Infused Water: Increase Your Water Intake!

I don’t know why, but I have had the hardest time figuring out a way to make sure I drink enough water. It’s just not something I think about throughout the day…until I’m really thirsty!

summertime is a little easier for me because I LOVE to drink fruit-infused water! Lemon water especially is such a good to drink first thing in the morning and is a great detox for  your body!

Fruit infused water is great for motivating water intake, as well as limiting calories and soda drinking. I like the combinations listed here

If you are a big time soda drinker, and are having a hard time kicking the habit, start with some fruit-infused water. Sometimes drinking plain water isn’t very motivating (especially if you are used to drinking soda), but drinking fruit-infused water will spruce up your water a bit, and make you healthier at the same time! I keep mine in the fridge so that it is cold, but if you are going to be out and about, just add ice and take it along with you! I find myself constantly sipping on my water when there’s some fun variations to it. Get the kids involved and practice a bunch of unique flavors and combinations to figure out which are your favorite!

I’m kind of a water bottle freak. I have found that I also drink more water if I have a fun water bottle to drink out of. I use the AdNArt fruit infuser bottle (I have the plastic and the glass and use them for different situations), however, I got them over a year ago and there are now several fruit infuser bottles available now! Don’t think you must have a special water bottle to start drinking fruit-infused water though! You can definitely use a plain ol glass!

Here are some good combinations for fruit water:

 

  • Citrus + Berries. This is my go-to combination. I love to always include lemons, and I usually always have frozen berries in the freezer.
  • Bluberries and Orange
  • Watermelon and Mint. Don’t think you can only use fruit! You can also create some good combinations using various herbs (rosemary, cilantro, mint) and vegetables too (cucumber, etc).
  • Raspberries and lime. Yep, I love this one.

Make sure you close your eyes and imagine you are at the spa!!! 🙂

 

What are some of your favorite fruit-infused water variations?

I'm six-foot tall mother of three and I'm enjoying the view! I'm currently fighting a battle with Lyme disease and am determined to come out victorious. I enjoy warm summer rain, peanut butter everything, having dance parties with my husband and kids, natural remedies and healthy living. Most days I'm just looking for another excuse to avoid the piles of laundry.
