INFUSED
WATER:
BENEFITS
AND RECIPES

2. Drinking enough water is key to maintaining good health, but there are
alternatives to plain water. One of the healthiest ways to give your water a
kick is by infusing it with fruit, herbs and even vegetables.
To get the most nutritional value from your infused water, you’ll have to
consume the fruit after you’re finished with the water. However, if you’d
prefer to discard the fruit afterwards, you’re still reaping benefits by infusing
your water in the first place. For example, if you have fun creating new
recipes for your infused water, it could lead to more water consumption.
Here are a few recipe possibilities to get you started:

3. CITRUS MINT WATER
By adding grapefruit, lemon, mint and cucumber to
your water, you’ll get a combination of freshness and
citrus that is perfect for a hot summer day.
Grapefruit is known to be rich in antioxidants and
immune-boosting properties, so snacking on some
slices while you hydrate could give you additional
health benefits.

4. MOJITO WATER
Alcohol can dehydrate you, but you can satisfy your
mojito craving with some non-alcoholic, infused
water instead! With mint and lime, your water is
transformed into a light, tart beverage. If you add a
touch of sugar, your taste buds are really in for a
treat.

5. APPLE CINNAMON
WATER
When you think apples and cinnamon, you probably
think of autumn days and falling leaves. However,
cinnamon is great for digestion, so infusing your
water with apple and cinnamon is a great treat year-
round. If you add plums and pears to the apples and
cinnamon, it creates great balanced flavor.

6. GINGER PEACH
WATER
Ginger is a root with anti-inflammatory properties
that can help with digestion. When ginger is
combined with the flavor of a ripe peach, it’s like
they’re a match made in heaven.

7. WATERMELON BASIL
WATER
Nothing says “summer” like fresh watermelon. By
throwing watermelon and some basil leaves into your
water, it’ll be a beautiful mix of green and pink that
tastes even better than it looks.

8. LAVENDER
LEMON WATER
Lavender isn’t just a great candle scent. It’s also a
natural way to add sweetness to your water. By
infusing your water with lemon and lavender, you can
create a unique flavor combination that can be made
into lemonade with a bit of sugar or raw agave
nectar.
I hope these recipes give you ideas for your summer diet. Connect with me on social
