Do you need help drinking water sometimes? Well, I know I do. I drink my water either ice cold or ice cold and flavored.
With the summer upon us, it’s even more important to stay hydrated and drink enough water (enough should be equal to at least half your weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds, then a good amount for you to start with is at least 90 ounces per day — this includes the water in your food and beverages, like tea).
Did you know you can use both fruit, veggies, and herbs to infuse your water?
Benefits Of Infused Water
- Provides essential vitamins
- Helps manage weight by keeping you from drinking other less healthy beverages
- Keeps you motivated to drink more by making the water more flavorful

Notes: The fruits can be both fresh or frozen. The peel from citrus fruits like oranges, lime, and lemon is full of antioxidants and fights free radicals, balances blood sugar levels, and supports your thyroid. So feel free to include the peel of any citrus fruit in your water, too!
Tip: pour different combos into ice cube trays and add to your water whenever the mood hits you!
