I am admittedly terrible at getting enough water. In general I think you’re supposed to aim for 8 glasses a day and I’m lucky if I get in half of that. Well, now that summer is here and we’ve got our herb and veggie garden planted, and I’ve been going to the farmer’s market where I can get cheap fruits and veggies, it’s really easy for me to jazz up my water. I’ve been doing it for a couple of weeks now and something as simple as a squeeze of lemon with a pretty sprig of rosemary in my glass honestly makes me drink more water throughout the day. I’m pretty sure it’s a mind game I play with myself, but hey, whatever works, right? 😉 I also love to use these cool Ball pint jars that are blue. So cool! And a fancy straw seals the deal. Here are some of the combinations I love and more that are on my list to try.

BONUS TIP: If you’re short on time or just don’t have the produce on hand to jazz up your water like this, try H2WoW. I use this all the time. It’s an all-natural water enhancer that’s delicious and subtle, perfect for a fast picker-upper or to take on the go. You can read my review here!

All of these combinations sound so good. I think strawberry and mint would be a good one too.
Lindsay Frank says
Yes! I think so too. In that picture I actually did lemon, cucumber, and basil and that was a good combo. It’s so fun to get creative and if it helps me drink more that’s the whole point. Thanks Shelly!

In the summer I infuse my water with these combinations: Strawberry/Watermelon, Strawberry/Kiwi, Strawberry/Lemon, Watermelon/Kiwi, Peach/Mango, Pineapple/Mango, Green Apples, Oranges. I put mint in all of the combinations and if I use the fruits alone. I think mint makes it refreshing in the summer and reminds me of summer when I do it in the winter.
Lindsay Frank says
Those sound great! I love the idea of mint in everything. I need to plant some in a container this summer. One year I did it in the garden and it took over!
Lorraine says
This looks all delicious. Thank you for sharing these natural flavored water combinations. I’ll try them all but will go first with fresh ginger and mango because it has my favorite fruit.
