Summer is around the corner and the weather is calling for fresher beverages. These water infusions are way lighter than smoothies and cut significantly back on the calories. Put down that soda and reach for these tasty and healthy drinks instead.
Water Infusions: 6 Fresh & Healthy Beverages
1) Water & Cucumber: Because cucumber is a natural diuretic, a glass of this infusion will help you detox and reduce bloating and swelling.
2) Water & Lemon: Increase your vitamin C intake, reduce cravings, and get an energy boost with this tasty infusion.
3) Water & Raspberries + Mint: Combine sparkling water with raspberries and mint for a refreshing summer drink. Plus, the potassium in raspberries helps regulate blood pressure.
4) Water & Strawberries: Slice some strawberries in your water to burn fat. Combine with lime for a boost of vitamin C.
5) Water & Oranges: Boost your vitamin C, lower your cholesterol, and increase your chances of fighting several types of cancer. Not bad for a citrusy infusion. Add cherries for an extra kick of flavor and fat burning power.
6) Water & Lime + Mint: This one is great with sparkling water and even some raspberries for a flavored “Mojito” type beverage. Mint leaves are natural antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. Lime helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
