#3 Yummy Detox Drink

Infused water that gives you energy, sold! I have a terrible stomach that hates practically everything I eat or drink. Caffeine, no. Juices, no. Water, yes! Well, water doesn't really have a lot of added benefits rather than hydration and I am up at 4:30 am M-F for work. Once 2:00 pm hits, I am normally drained.

The second thing that sold me on this pin was how cute and refreshing it looked. Fruit, Water & Ice in a mason jar, time to make the shopping list. I had just been to a friend's daughter's first birthday party where she had pre-made drinks in mason jars. She specifically said to take one as your party gift, but I thought to myself 'what am I going to do with 1 mason jar?' Well now I am thinking 'you should have taken it dummy!'

I ran to Walmart to grab all the ingredients and buy a mason jar. But, you cannot buy just one mason jar. Back to the drawing board. I had stopped in Five Below for a different reason and came across a reusable tumbler with an infuser in it! Five dollars and some change later, I was ready for some flavorful water.

Ingredients:
Strawberries (I used 2 sliced)
Blueberries (about 6)
1 mint leaf
2 lime wedges (I squeezed the lime wedges and then threw them into the mix)
Water

Let sit for 20-25 minutes for the flavors to infuse the water and drink up! It was delicious and you can use the fruit a second time, although it wasn't as flavor filled.

Check out this perfect find:
