Hanna Lalonde As the weather gets warmer, it is important to ensure that you and your family members are receiving sufficient hydration. While it can be tempting to reach for a soda or a juice on a warm day, choosing water can help to reduce your sugar intake. However, water does not have to be a boring beverage choice! We’ve brainstormed a few delicious and healthy water additions to help you have fun hydrating this summer.
Strawberry Lemonade
Create your own Strawberry Lemonade water by slicing up fresh strawberries and adding them to your glass. Squeeze fresh lemon into your water and enjoy a tart and refreshing strawberry lemonade with no added sugar!
Mint Mojito
For a non-alcoholic alternative to a traditional mojito, add fresh lime juice to your water glass and muddle it with some mint. Top the mixture with ice and add still or sparkling water! You can even add mango or raspberries for an extra kick of flavour.
Berry Blast
Enjoy an antioxidant boost in your water by combining blackberries, cherries, and blueberries into your water. You can either muddle the berries together, or just add them whole into your glass. You’ll love the mild berry flavour of this mixture and the natural sweetness that these fruits provide.
Cool Cucumber
On extra warm days, you might be looking for a drink that is tart and refreshing. Try slicing up cucumbers and lemon and adding them into your water. The light flavour of the cucumber will compliment the lemon perfectly; you’ll want to drink this combination all summer long!
Watermelon Basil
Combine watermelon and basil into your water for an unexpected and refreshing beverage flavour. Place this delicious and summery combination into a large carafe to serve to your guests at a barbecue or dinner party. This lightly flavoured beverage will compliment any meal choice!
There are so many delicious flavour combinations that you can add to your water. We hope these healthy water additions help to inspire you to hydrate this summer! In addition, don’t forget to check out our favourite sustainable products here.
