Infused Water - So Good!

I've been trying to drink more water these days and get a bit healthier. I tend to eat more salads and lighter food this time of year but still, I'm feeling like I need to get back on track again. The lunch salads don't always counteract s'mores and all those yummy cookout side dishes. When a new school year rolls around it's time to get into a routine again! One thing I used to do all the time was make infused water. 

So here's a little history. I used to be a HUGE Diet Pepsi drinker. My Mom drank it growing up, I drank it all throughout college and beyond. After I had kids, I cut back and a few years ago I gave it up completely. It felt ridiculous that I was explaining to my kids all the time how it was bad for you only to consume it myself. I wanted to be a more authentic person. Anyway, I cut back to water, coffee, tea and seltzer on occasion. It definitely helps to have "grab and go" water ready and its a little something tasty and different. My kids love it too. I usually make it fresh in the morning and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The flavor really comes through. 

Here are some great combos:
Cucumber Lemon
Cucumber Mint
Lavender Lemon
Watermelon Basil
Blueberry Orange
Strawberry Mint
Strawberry Citrus

I know this isn't reinventing the wheel here but sometimes you forget about these habits so I'm here to share that I've been reminded! On a side note, that little cuppow lid is ah-maz-ing! It screws right onto your jars so sipping is portable and easier! LOVE it!

Happy Weekend Friends! Here's to a new month...SEPTEMBER!
