Most of us are feeling the effects of the holiday now and the traditional meal in particular for the days to come. One way to cut down on calories these days without actually feeling like it is by replacing diet with flavored water that we can prepare ourselves. We all know that juices and sodas now usually come with very high sugar content, which is why they’re often referred to as caloric bombs that deliver only empty calories. This translates into a few inches more on our waist and, of course, a decrease in health as well. To prevent that while still enjoying a sweet drink, we can learn how to make our own flavored water.
It is possible that we might get bored very easily by simply adding a slice of lemon in our glass of water. If, for instance, we don’t have time to make homemade lemonade and drink it instead of water, we can add a few drops of natural juice to a bottle of water and thus make sure it gets a special, but vague flavor. The combination of lime and orange is to kill for.
Adding herbs to your water put a few sprigs of fresh mint in my H20 pitcher or even lemongrass. Add freshly cut cucumbers. This small addition really gives water a clean and refreshing taste that is ever so subtle. Add fresh sliced ginger, and you’ve made yourself a natural tummy tamer. Or you can add pickle juice to water and make your own electrolyte replacement drink. It might sound gross but it really works! For a hint of sweetness, crush up some berries or pomegranate seeds into your water. But, if you’re really craving soda, liven up soda water.
