Everyone knows that water is the absolute best thing you can drink. So, what do you do when you just aren’t in love with the taste of plain water. Yeah, I know that sounds weird but I just think water is so boring. So, the solition: make your water taste better by adding {healthy} items to it.
I’m not a fan of plain water. Even if I get it really cold, it is just “meh” to me. For the longest time, I’ve used that as an excuse to drink anything but water instead: soda, juice, tea, etc. Finally, I decided that I just need to find a solution that would get my body the water it needed and my taste buds the flavor they needed. Of course, I didn’t want to add a bunch of calories or sugar to my water though.
I started playing around with different things and came up with four ideas I go to regularly.
This is super easy and almost pointless to write “directions” for but let’s have a little fun shall we…
Start with
Pick your toppings
Add them to a glass together {ice is optional}
A few more shots of the water in action to just give your eyes something to feast on
Thirsty yet? Go grab some water and add in a few delicious items.

I so need to drink LOTS more water, Shannah! This is a great idea! Now – I just have to make myself reach for water instead of coke! And by the way – your photos are stellar!!! They rock!

I am such a diet coke fantatic that I literally schedule my water drinking to keep from forgetting. It is a bit ridiculous but I find I will reach for a diet coke if I don’t have a visual reminder to choose something else.
I am heading over to visit now 🙂

I pretty much only drink water and while I don’t have a difficult time during the summer, during the winter it’s a bit difficult to drink multiple glasses. I definitely need to flavor mine a bit. Love your suggestions!

That is awesome that you drink a lot of water. I am such a diet coke addict that I often forget to get in my water. Adding in some fun flavors really helps though.
Thanks for visiting.

I love the look of water mixed with colorful ingredients in a pitcher! So pretty. The lemon basil is really delicious…second for me only to the lime and mint.
