Challenge #3: Swap A Drink

Continuing on with the water theme, this week's challenge will be to swap out one of your regular 'other than water' drinks for a glass of H2O. 

So pick the meal that works best for your lifestyle and add water to it.  Oh - and go get a new water bottle to carry around with you throughout the day.  They have great BPA-free, re-usable cups and bottles out there now that are super handy and look great too.

Here are some tips to make that glass of water a little bit more special:

  • Add lemon or lime.  (http://lajollamom.com/2011/01/drink-warm-lemon-water-in-the-morning/)
  • Add fruit.  Slice up the fruit, add to water and refrigerate overnight.  It tastes amazing!  Great for the summertime too.
  • Add a small amount of all-natural cranberry juice.
  • Use all-natural 100% juice to make ice cubes.  Add them to your water for a little added sweetness throughout your glass.
  • Mint leaves are a simple way to add some flavor too.
  • A personal favorite, add sliced cucumbers.  So yummy!
  • Freeze citrus slices and use them as ice cubes, too.
  • Freeze watermelon to add as ice cubes, or forget the freezing and add watermelon to the bottom of a pitcher of water to drink throughout the day.

Hope that helps give you some ideas to make those glasses go down easier.  Keep up the good work!  You can do this!
