There are many of you joining me in the week of getting hydrated. If you didn't see the previous post, our 7 day challenge this week is getting half our body weight in oz of water per day. Some people really have a hard time with this and want some flavor to their water. The best way to do this is spa waters! So here are a bunch of recipes I have tried and then a bunch I found online that sound great!
Take your water and add delicious fruits/veggies/herbs/oils to them to make them have a little kick. I have added them to my water in some cheese cloth, or free floating. Sometimes I let it sit overnight, and sometimes I drink it right away... totally up to you. And if you really enjoy these, you might want to invest in some infusable water bottles that are perfect for spa waters. It is on my wishlist! I do have a birthday around the corner, and by around the corner I mean months away.
Raspberry Vanilla
I took some frozen raspberries and a little vanilla and
Strawberry Lemon
I use real strawberries and either real lemon or lemon essential oil.
Citrus Delight
This is my own concoction of water and essential oils, lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit. I LOVE IT!!!
Stawberry Peach
Strawberries, sliced peaches... delightful
Lemon Raspberry

Cumubers and mint leaves or oil
Apple cinnamon
apples, and cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon (don't need a lot)

Now if you want to be really fancy freeze your fruit into ice cube trays and then its beautiful and flavorful. You can also use seltzer water to give it a bit of bubble if you need the fizz. There are a ton of recipes for spa waters on pinterest. Great way to add some flavor without calories and unnecessary sugars.
