We're sharing our fabulous fruit infused water recipes that will add your water delicious and refreshing twist to your water.
This past weekend, we had our children Dedicated at church. After the ceremony, we had everyone back to our house for an afternoon BBQ. As I was preparing for the party, I was thinking about food and drinks and how, as a family, we have been trying to be healthy. This includes exercise, eating and drinking. The decision was made that for this party, rather than serving some sugary drink, I would serve a variety of fruit infused water! Tasty, healthy and it looks pretty! (I totally love pretty drinks)

While out shopping at Albertsons, I grabbed a Brita for the party along with all the different fruits and veggies I was going to use in the infusions. There were a few different reasons why I went with a Brita,
- Better for the world - Gosh, anything we can do to save the environment makes me HAPPY. We will save approximately 300 bottles of water using one Brita! WIN!
- Better value - It is more cost efficient than buying bottle water, and let's get real... saving money makes me HAPPY.
- Better taste - I don't know about you, but I have a few family members, that will remain unnamed (my sister and mom :)) that only drink filtered water. The Brita makes them HAPPY
Now, let's get to the Fruit infusions. There are lots of different variations for infusions. I went with three of my favorites. Blackberry Lime, Cucumber Lemon, and Strawberry Orange.
