Ready for a Challenge???? Can you go the next 30 Days with out something Sugary to drink and replace it with Water??? I know that for most other people, this would be a tough challenge. Many people drink soda everyday, or don’t think twice about picking up a Red Bull or a mocha. It’s shocking how much sugar is in pretty much any drink you can get at Starbucks. I don’t want to spoil your annual pumpkin spice latte, but seriously check it out and think about making it homemade or opting for water instead. I came across this eye-opening photo online. I think it’s particularly important to watch what our children are drinking and eating. Do they need all that sugar in sweetened chocolate milk or soda? Instead, let’s encourage them to have water. I know, I know. Water is boring. I hear people say that all the time. Well, not anymore! You can add tons of different fruits, veggies, and herbs to make water taste better. Fill up a pitcher, toss in some combination from below, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours (the longer you let it steep, the more flavor you’ll get, but you can also enjoy it immediately). Without further ado, 50 awesome flavored water ideas. I hope this gets you thinking outside the box and trying out more water. Watermelon Cucumber Lemon Cantaloupe Orange Cherries Lime Grapefruit Basil Mint Grapes Blood orange Rosemary Lavender Strawberries Blackberries Raspberries Pineapple Kiwi Papaya Honeydew melon Fresh ginger root Mango And don’t forget fun combinations of the ingredients above! Get creative and combine them so it never gets dull. The possibilities are endless but here are some of my favorites: Watermelon and mint (pictured above) Cucumber and mint Lemon and mint Cherry and lime Watermelon and cucumber Ginger and lemon Orange and pineapple Lemon and lavender Lime and mint Cucumber and lime Lemon and basil Strawberry and mint Blackberry and ginger Lemon and blueberry Thyme and blackberries Cucumber and rosemary Cantaloupe and watermelon Cucumber, lemon, and mint Lemon and lime Strawberry and basil Cranberry juice and lemon (use a capful of unsweetened cranberry juice) Ginger and lime Pineapple and mango Strawberries and lime Orange, lime, and lemon Lemon and a pinch of cayenne Papaya and mango …and I could keep going. Seriously, there are so many potential combos! For the herbs, crush or chop them up to get the best flavor. Similarly, squeeze citrus wedges, slice or cube melons, and crush berries.
