Hydrating Spa Sipper

If one of your goals is to drink more water, fruit infused water recipes can help you stay hydrated. Also known as spa water, adding fresh fruit and herbs to your water adds flavor without additional calories or sugars so it’s a healthier option compared to soft drinks and juices. It’s a great option for anyone who has difficulty drinking their recommended 8 cups of water per day or grows tired of plain water’s lack of taste.

The key to flavorful spa water recipes is letting the fruit and herbs soak in the water for several hours. We recommend making a big batch of water the night before so you can sip it throughout the day.

This refreshing sipper uses citrus fruits, strawberries, cucumber, and fresh mint to flavor water. It also contains Glut Immune, which adds a bit of protein to each cup of water along with your daily dose of the amino acid glutamine. The main job of glutamine is to serve as an antioxidant and support your immune system.

The Glut Immune gives this infused water a cloudy appearance that’s reminiscent of lemonade, but without added sugar! Enjoy it over ice with or without the extra citrus slices.

If you eat the fruit with the water, it will add a small amount of calories and carbohydrates.
