These refreshing fruit infused water recipes are so delicious, and really easy to make. This is the perfect way to stay hydrated!

This summer I have a serious goal to drink more water, as well as get more fruit and vegetables into my diet. On top of drinking smoothies like this Green Smoothie or my Spinach Berry Smoothie, I am always looking for ways to jazz it up and make water taste GREAT!

I have been infusing it with fruit and veggies lately, and it's SO GOOD. I wanted to share my favorite recipes for fruit infused water with you today along with a few tips.

Use Cold, Filtered Water for Fruit Infused Water

• Filtered water just tastes so much better and you will be able to enjoy the extra fruit flavors more.
• Cold water will keep your fruit and veggies fresh and in-tact longer. So not only will it taste better, but it will look prettier. (I honestly can't get over how gorgeous fruit infused water is.)
• For fruit infused water, I also like to use ice cubes made from filtered water. This really makes a difference to me.
• Someday I will have this nugget ice maker. Until then, I use filtered ice from my freezer and a fruit infused water bottle to make this in!

More Tips for Making Fruit Infused Water

• Chill your infused water in the fridge or overnight for the best tasting results.
• If using citrus like lemon or lime, remove the peel before adding to water. Peels create a bitter flavor that intensifies the longer they are soaking in the water.

Without further ado, here are my favorite infused water recipes. I use the term recipe loosely here because it is all a matter of preference, I'm just sharingsome good combos - amounts are up to you!

Fruit Infused Water Recipes

STRAWBERRY KIWI CUCUMBER BLUEBERRY MANGO

Thinly sliced cucumber is my favorite. Add sliced strawberries, kiwi, mango and blueberries and the combo is heavenly.

This one is really good, you guys! It's got a little bit of everything!

BLUEBERRY KIWI LIME

Add peeled and sliced kiwi, lime wedges with the peel removed, and and blueberries to cold water.

I love this one! It's little bit tart and a little bit sweet.

CINNAMON VANILLA BEAN & PEAR

Add one vanilla bean and several thin pear slices to cold water.

I had never heard of adding vanilla bean to water before I tried this, but you guys, the hint of sweetness is so good.

STRAWBERRY MANGO CILANTRO

Add cubed mango, sliced strawberries, and a few sprigs of cilantro to cold water.

Aren't the colors in this water amazing? I can't get over it, this is one of my favorite fruit infused water recipes. Anything with mango is good in my book!

CUCUMBER MINT

Slice cucumber very thinly, wash and remove stems from mint leaves, and add to cold water.

Cucumber and mint leaves are such a great combination! This is the epitome of cool and refreshing! I think it is my favorite of the bunch.
