Fruited Water


Now that spring is here, I've gone back to an old favorite beverage of mine...fruited water. Phil always gives me a hard time because I'm horrible about drinking water. Somedays I'll go all day without drinking any. I just don't think about it...but I've found something that helps.

I keep a pitcher in the fridge with sliced fruit. This week I happened to only have citrus so I added sliced lemon, lime and orange and added water. This will last for up to two days in the refrigerator. If you run out of water, just fill up the pitcher or jar again.

I like to make this for guests too. It makes water look so fancy and its really delish. I've noticed lately at Trader Joe's by their sample booth, they always have fruited water that is lightly sweetened. I'm not sure what it is lightly sweetened with but its also yummy. My kids like my version and they feel like its a "special" drink and I can rest comfortably knowing its not full of added sugar and sweetener. Try it and I bet you'll drink a lot more water throughout the day.
