Hot! Hot! Hot! The summer heat has definitely hit its peak by this time of the year.  It is extremely important to be aware of the increasing temperatures & to remember to stay hydrated throughout the day.  As a motivator to consume water, I am here to introduce you to infused water! They are one of the healthiest, and most refreshing drink choices for the hot summer months.

I came across water infusions a few years ago & ever since, they have been my go-to summer drink.  The delightful mixture of fruit or vegetables, herbs & water is the perfect concoction, and allows me to easily consume the recommended amount of water each day, without adding any unnecessary calories. Not only are they a great way to stay hydrated, water infusions also provides the opportunity to work a serving of fruit into your diet!

Most importantly, these drinks are extremely kid-friendly! This is a great opportunity to show your kids the benefits & versatility of fruit! Replace the juice boxes with fun fruit infused water for your kids this summer. Even better, take your kids to the grocery store & allow them to pick out their favorite fruits and/or veggies to add to their water.

Here are a few of my FAVORITE infused water recipes!
