It's no secret that I am not a fan of water. There's no taste (and sometimes a nasty aftertaste). Sometimes I enjoy some ice water, but I have to be REALLY thirsty.
As part of our life changes this year, Brian (hubster) and I are always on the lookout for healthy alternatives that are good for us, convenient and taste good. I've read a million different blogs, facebook posts and articles about infused water and naturally flavored water and knew that I had to incorporate something like that to up my intake of water. So, last night I got 3 of my recycled bottles out of the drawer, put a tablespoon of lemon juice and 1.5 tablespoons of honey in the bottom of each one. Then I filled them with warm water (to dissolve the honey) and shook them up like a mad woman. :) Stuck them in the fridge overnight and brought them to work with me this morning (along with my Vi-Shake Smoothie).
As I was getting started on my project for the day, I opened up a bottle of my water and was AMAZED!! It's the yummiest water I've ever had. I've already finished one and am about half-way through the second. I doubt the third one makes it to the end of the day. There are so many health benefits in each bottle and it actually tastes really, really good! I can see this being integrated into every single day - and actually reaching my water intake goals.
So, if you're a water hater like me, give this a try and see if, maybe, it helps you get properly, deliciously hydrated!! Do a Google search to see all the benefits of lemon juice and honey. You might be surprised at just how good they are for you!
Until next time,

It might be good for the Gym too since the Honey and lemon juice would give you just a bit of boost during a workout.
