15 Flavored Water Recipes and a Mighty Nest Giveaway
My nutritionist continually reminds me to drink more water. She suggests I take my body weight in pounds and drink half that number in ounces of water every day. That’s a lot of water! Let’s be honest, sometimes drinking that much water can get a bit boring. So I like to liven things up by flavoring my water using berries, herbs, and citrus. My favorite combination is lemon and cucumber. I chop up lemons and a cucumber, put it in a pitcher and put it in the fridge to chill. As I drink the water, I add more so I can have flavored water for several days.
There’s no need to measure, just throw in a handful of berries, cut up an orange or toss in some mint. You can let the fruit float, or muddle it to release more of the flavor. For summer gatherings, it’s fun to have an assortment of flavored waters along with honey simple syrup (if your guests like a bit more sweetness) and even some sparkling water to add some bubbles.
Here are 15 of my favorite combinations:
- Lemon, Lime and Orange
- Raspberry and Lime
- Pineapple and Mint
- Lemon and Cucumber
- Blackberry and Sage
- Watermelon and Rosemary
- Mango and Blueberries
- Orange and Vanilla
- Strawberry and Basil
- Cherry and Lime
- Blackberry and Ginger
- Peach and Vanilla Bean
- Honeydew and Lime
- Pineapple, Raspberry and Mint
- Peach, Lemon and Thyme
As the warmer months approach, it’s the perfect time to hydrate your body and drink more water. Let’s pledge to drink half of your weight in ounces of water every day (so if you weigh 150 lbs. you’d drink 74 ounces). It’s a small but mighty step in a healthier direction, and you’ll automatically be entered into the giveaway to win a collection of my favorite glass pitchers and glassware (a $130 value) from MightyNest. You’ll also earn points for your local school to help them win $1000 this month in the MightyNest for Schools “Get Fresh” Challenge. Just click the button that says “I Pledge” to enter! Good luck!
