Refreshing Infused Water!
Infused water is super simple and refreshing! It is a great replacement for any sugary drink like soda, juice or even some flavored waters on the market. Water is extremely important in keeping us healthy; it regulates body temperature, protects vital organs, promotes healthy digestion, and keeps our skin looking healthy. Infused water is a tasty way to increase water intake and is even kid-friendly! They are loaded with fruits, veggies and herbs, all you have to do is add all the ingredients together with water and put in the refrigerator for at least an hour (preferably overnight) and drink up! Here are some of my favorite recipes:
