We all know that water is literally one of the very best and most essential drinks you can ever consume. However, it can get a little BORING sometimes, right?

If you can relate, then I am confident you are going to love everything about this Cucumber Mint Water with Strawberries!

If you have trouble getting your kids to drink enough water, don’t worry, you aren’t alone.

Giving them water with strawberries and cucumbers is a fantastic way to encourage them without making it seem daunting.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DRINKING FRUIT INFUSED WATER?

There are so many reasons why drinking fruit infused water is beneficial to your health.  It aids in digestion, maintains body muscle tone, and assists the brain to work efficiently. It also helps burn fat by making sure the kidneys & liver are functioning optimally.  Studies have also shown that drinking water not only keeps you hydrated; it can help control your appetite.

CAN I USE FROZEN STRAWBERRIES?

Oh, absolutely, you can use frozen strawberries! If you are fortunate to find a great deal on frozen fruit or you like to freeze fresh fruit, it’s perfect for this infused water. Frozen fruit will taste just as fabulous as fresh, and you really probably won’t notice much difference between the two.

IS IT OKAY TO USE DIFFERENT FRUITS?

When making this cucumber mint water, you can absolutely swap the strawberries for other fruits. Or use a combination of various fruits. Here are some of my favorites:

• Berries – Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all amazing in this water. Speaking of berries, be sure to check out my Triple Berry Shortcake too.
• Citrus Fruits – Lemons, oranges, and limes would all be wonderful choices. If you love lemons, try out my Easy Lemon Shortbread Squares. Yum!
• Kiwi – I always enjoy some good old kiwi! It’s so refreshing and flavorful too. If you are a fan of kiwi, taste my Kiwi Mango popsicles for a fun surprise.

SO TELL ME…
