Fruit- and veggie-infused water is refreshing, low sugar, and delicious. And because it tastes so good, it encourages us to drink more water. You can make infused water in a large beverage dispenser or by the glass, and with so many fruits and vegetables that can give water a flavorful nutrient boost, the options are endless.

Flavored Water Blends

Watermelon can help keep our body hydrated and promotes skin health. A handful of finely chopped watermelon will give us a nice, fruity flavor. Add basil for a unique, refreshing flavor.

Lemons are beneficial for our skin and are a good source of vitamin C. Add a few slices to your water for a fresh taste, and incorporate strawberries and basil for an additional flavor kick.

Pineapples are healthy for our intestines and liver and offer a delicious, light flavor. Add chunks of coconut and lime slices for a smooth, tropical flavor.

Ginger can boost our immune system, promote healthy digestion, and provide relief from occasional motion sickness. And a few slices or grate it, and mix in blackberries and oranges for more flavor.

Mint is a great option if you’re looking for a non-fruit option. Mint promotes healthy digestion and offers a clean, refreshing flavor. Add cucumber and lime as well for a tasty twist.

Raspberries are rich in antioxidants, promoting a healthy immune system. Add fresh or frozen raspberries, and mix them with grapefruit for additional flavor.
