You are here: Home / Healthy Eating / Recipes / Juices and Smoothies / 31 Easy and Flavorful Infused Waters to Help You Stay Hydrated

If you’re not used to it, drinking enough water to meet your daily needs can be a struggle. And if your tastebuds are used to soda and juice, it can be even harder.

Meet your new best friend: infused water.

Infusing your water isn’t just an easy way to add flavor and pizzazz, it’s also a great way to take advantage of the main benefits of drinking more water – namely staying hydrated, flushing out your system, and cutting cravings.

Not only that, but infused water requires only a few ingredients. For most recipes, just add your choice of fruits, vegetables, and herbs to a glass of water and let the flavors infuse. Plus, if you serve these recipes to guests, they’ll be wowed.

Expert tip: it helps to slice your infusion ingredients small in order to get the maximum amount of flavor in your water. You can also use a fork or a muddler to help release the juice of the fruits or veggies you’re infusing.

I’ve gathered a mix of 31 of the tastiest recipes, and there’s sure to be at least one of them you’ll love.

Now all you have to do is start infusing and drink up!
