Infused Water!

I agree with doing the lemon, lime, and fruits. I really like strawberry and mint in mine. I'd probably stay away from sparkling water, mainly because of the carbonation and that can make you bloated.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it "detox." Just call it drinking more water to be healthier! You have a liver for detox.

Oooooh ya go get 'em! they're on sale at HEB right now! hehe

You are inspiring me to try this because I really hate water ..literally sometimes I wonder how I survive with how little I drink lol thanks !

It sounds weird but it taste really good...watermelon and mint.

I agree that you dont have to detox, but you should definitely be drinking water and if putting fruit in it helps you drink more, thats great. i drink plain water all day and sometimes when i get home i want something with flavor. i just brew unsweetened, decaf fruit flavored tea and pour it over ice. i like celestial seasons lemon ginger! plus ginger has tons of digestive benefits

MMB - I actually drink a lot of tea, including tea with caffeine. I can't say this as scientific fact, but I was told by a dietician that tea still counts towards positive hydration. There isn't that much caffeine in tea (green, black, white etc). It's better to drink SOMETHING than be dehydrated (unless that something is soda/pop, in which maybe dehydration is better...).

What? I would die if I never had water. I drink 4 huge camelbak bottles a day. Plain water is life.

However, I went to a hotel once that had a lemon/lavender water and it was amazing. Same with lemon/strawberry.

Mint, lemon, and line is the ONLY infused water flavor I've ever liked

Strawberry and cucumber is my personal favorite, but I'm totally baffled. How can anyone hate water? It has basically no taste and is the most natural thing in the world - we evolved to drink it! I've literally never heard of water-hating. Is it common? What do you usually drink?

@paleoprincess ive actually heard of a lot of people hating water....i think we are too accustomed to sugary drinks! water is flavorless to some people.

I used to hate water, then i developed migraines. two of my triggers are heat and dehydration and i become dehydrated easily. I drink 2 or 3 gallons of plain water a day now, but there was a time when i rarely drank water

Be wary of flavored sparkling waters - no one knows that they put in their "natural and artificial flavoring". I do cucumber/mint/lime, blackberry/thyme, lemon/basil. I also drink green tea like it's my job. Good green tea that my mom brings us from ger business trips to China. ETA: my favorite hydration drink is: brewed green tea, chilled, half a lemon, a teeny bit of honey, and 2T chia seeds. Shake and let sit for a couple of hours. That'll beat ANY electrolyte drink out there, and rehydrate you super quickly!

@Kelsey - Interesting, the sugary drink thing makes sense. I guess everyone has their own preferences, but I feel like nothing BUT water gets rid of that 'thirsty' feeling. I never realized that it wasn't like that for everyone!

If you want to add sweetener, go with something natural - honey, maple syrup, agave. None of that fake crap.

Squeeze some lemons

A single drop of peppermint or spearmint extract will minty-freshasize a whole gallon of water. Just be sure to get something all natural.

If you put any kind of sweetener in your water, it's not water any more. It's a sugary drink.

I live lemon,orange & ruby red grapefruit! Another favorite of mine is cucumber,lime,lemon & mint leaves.

Lemon, Mint and Cucumber all together -- it's like having all day spa water!

My FIL hates water too. I just don't understand how you can hate something that has no flavor. Water is pretty much all I drink... ETA: "you" as in anyone, not OP specifically.

If you like sparkling water, you could invest in a Soda Club. I somehow drink sparkling water (with absolutely nothing in it) faster than plain water. You can also add fruit and anything else to it though. It cost a bit initially, but I feel like it's better than having to carry cans home (and it's way less waste).

At work, I have a Aquazinger bottle (www.zinganything.com). It's a gimmick, but I really like it. The fruit you put into the bottom gets squished/mashed so more is infused and I feel like it tastes of more than if you just cut the fruit.
