Infused Water!

Mrs.Magallan2016, on February 18, 2016 at 11:59 AM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 65

Hey girls! I began drinking infused water this week in order to detox since I have about 16 days until the wedding! I NEVER drink water so I tried infusing it with fruits to give it a better taste. Do you guys have any recipes? Also, if I add a little sweetener (like Splenda) does that ruin the whole point of me drinking water? I don't think it's so bad considering that it's still better than soda or juice. Thanks!

    I would forget the Splenda. I don't knowwww, but it could leave you bloated or something ,or with hella cravings for real sugar. I like my water with fresh lemon and/or lime!

    Better yet... Sparkling water! Love the stuff! Smiley laugh

    We also brew large pots of tea and keep it in a jug in the fridge (unsweetened!)

    Thats another option if you don't like just drinking water. You could put lemon, lime or other fruit in there as well.

    I would not add splenda. Try cucumber lemon, raspberry lemon or lime. I've done orange and rosemary water (only with fresh herbs). I love water and usually just have lemon. I also do hot water with lemon in the morning to jump start my system!

    Sweetener completely ruins the point of drinking water. Is it really that hard to get water down? Also, might want to let up on the liquids as you get closer because you will start bloating a lot.

    I wanted to try the sparkling water because that seems so fun! Lol I haven't gone to the store but I definitely want to get some. I've been trying kiwi, strawberries, oranges, limes, lemons, mint leaves, and cucumbers. I want to try pineapples with raspberries tomorrow!

    Spenda is pure chemicals...do not put that crap in you!!!!! It is just as bad a soda and juice! (Juice by the way isn't bad you need to read the label and find out whats in it first) Getting back to Splenda, Yes it does defeat the purpose of a cleanse. You are trying to clean out your body of impurities and toxins by putting pure chemical crap into your body.

    Drink water add some lemon to it.

    I have nothing helpful to contribute, but adding splenda to water makes me think of Parks & Rec

    Don't add sweetener. If you want it to be sweet, throw in a little sliced fruit. I like cucumber with lemon and mint. Strawberry and basil.

    I love lemon and mint! Or we have an orange tree, so I slice up oranges and add them in the water too!

    Sparkling water! I love the ones from Walmart. Strawberry and the Pineapple Coconut are my faves.

    La croix sparkling water is amazing

    But just for regular infused water, it sounds so weird, but apples and cinnamon infused water is really tasty!

    You could try fruit tea. If you get a good one, it will have no sweetener. Technically they are "tisanes" because they have to actual "tea" in them (tea is a specific plant, the tea plant). They are caffeine free and you can drink them hot or cold. I find them more flavourful than fruit infusions.

    I tried coconut sparkling water once and felt like puking from the weird aftertaste! lol

    I like citrus-y ones; lemon, lime, grapefruit.

    Or better yet.. Plain! Then squeeze in your own lemon.

    La Croix is yummy, or look for a local store brand as it will be cheaper. Just make sure you don't get sparkling juice. Im in Texas and HEB makes their own great brand.

    You don't need to 'detox', no one does. If you don't like infused water don't drink it.

    I agree with Emmy. I always believed the detox thing was a marketing/sales tactic.

    The detox thing is sketchy, but water is fine for you. I do cucumber, lemon, ginger. No splenda.

    Any citrus fruit is great (grapefruit is one of my faves), cucumber lemon, apple cinnamon, strawberry, mint lime. Your options are endless!
