Refreshing Infused Water with Watermelon, Cucumber, and Mint
If you think water is boring, then this is for you!
Eating healthy should still be delicious.
We’ve heard it time and time again: Most Americans are chronically dehydrated without even noticing. Hydration is key for survival—and if you ask me, it’s more important than ever when facing the wrath of summer’s heat. So, you’re probably asking yourself, “How can I beat the season’s rising temps?” It’s simple, really.
Trade in the juice box and fizzy soda for the ultimate calorie-free thirst-quencher. With no added sugar and virtually no calories, infused waters are an easy way to enjoy the summer with an increase in water intake.
Here at Cooking Light, we’ve soaked a pitcher or two (or three)—and now, it’s your turn to try. Jazz up your H20 flow by sipping on a watermelon, cucumber, and mint blend.
In my world, watermelon is the queen of all fruits. Biting into a sweet slice and savoring the juice running down my chin is pure bliss. Reap the benefits of its cooling forces while chilling by the poolside or soaking up the sun at a picnic.
