6 Nutrient Packed Infused Water Recipes
Make healthy hydration your top priority in the New Year by adding fun flavor to your water! We all know the importance of drinking a sufficient amount of water, but with busy schedules and our need for caffeine, it can be easy to let proper hydration fall to the wayside. Adding a burst of fun flavors to your water can make drinking recommended daily dosage a lot easier!
We love our Fruity Infuser Bottle – it is a water bottle with a plastic internal basket that can be filled with fruits, vegetables, and herbs. It easily comes apart for cleaning (handwash only), and the lid has a flip-up drinking spout that will keep you sipping fruity flavors all day long. It is available in a 25 oz and a 32 oz size.
Infused water is not only delicious, but it also can aid and improve many functions of the body such as fatigue, bloating, digestion, metabolism, muscle recovery, and more. You can also try adding other hydrating fluids such as sparkling water for soda lovers looking for carbonation without the negative effects of sugar and too much caffeine or Green Tea or coconut water because of their known health factors.
