That's Good H20!

I have been on an infused water kick since late Spring.  I found a fat flusher detox water on Pinterest and I was hooked.  Now, please understand, I don't know if my fat is really flushing. But, I do know it tastes good and I like the flavor.  And this makes me drink more water.  So how bad can it be?

I started by making a couple containers of water to take to work each day.  You can just throw the fruit in any old water bottle.  Now there are plenty of bottles with "infuser baskets" in it and you can certainly go that route as well.  I have both.  No preference, really.

I moved to making pitchers or big old jugs and keeping them in the fridge.  You can refill with water every day and usually keep for about a week.  It definitely gets stronger the longer it sits, so I like to almost empty it each day and add more water in the morning.  You can always add ice or more water if the flavor is too strong for you.

I got this jug at Christmas Tree Shops for $10.  My favorite thing about it is I can keep it in the fridge and just dispense when wanted.

Here are some of my very favorite flavor combos:

Strawberry Lime w Cinnamon  (the one that started it all!)

Pineapple Mint
Peppermint Grapefruit
Blueberry Orange
Raspberry Mint
Mango Ginger
Dr. Oz's Fat Flush water
Citrus water

Basically, you can take any type of fruit you like and give it a try!! Um...stay away from bananas though.  Eww.  Add things like cinnamon, fresh ginger, mint or other herbs.  Be creative or search away on Pinterest.  I have started thinking of combos I want to try on my own, a sweet with a sour (grapefruit and strawberry).  Side note:  I do prefer to use frozen blueberries and raspberries as they have more flavor. If you use fresh blueberries or raspberries, you may need to muddle (or smush) the berries somewhat.

I don't know if all the great benefits they tote are really happening to my body, but I know that water is great for me and I guess that is good enough.  My hubs swears if you drink the water while drinking alcohol it keeps you hydrated and you won't be hungover.  But we need more testing before we can make that claim official.  We'll get right on that.

Get Hydrated Friends!
