Yes, we should all drink more water. But if you're like me, you're more apt to reach for a carbonated beverage (i.e. soda, in my case Dr. Pepper). I've gotten into a REALLY bad habit of reaching for a soda first thing in the morning. Then another later in the day, and yet another if I'm really bad. Seriously, it's an addiction. So I've resolved/promised/threatened myself that I WILL drink more water. I will put down the can, and pick up the glass. To help inspire me, I found this great website full of flavored water recipes. I tried the cucumber water (basically just sliced up cucumbers in a pitcher of ice water), and it was surprisingly delish!
Go HERE for a bunch of recipes. And just to tease you, here is the recipe for the awesome looking fruit water pictured above:
- 1 each of the following fruits - apple, lemon, orange, pear
- 4 large strawberries
- Handful of raspberries
- Handful of mint leaves
- 1 half-gallon of water
Cut large slices or thin wedges of each fruit. Place them in a large glass pitcher and add cold water. Refrigerate 4 hours, and then serve in tall glasses. YUM!
