    How To: Infuse Your Water

    Jun 8, 2015 • Drinks, Wellness & Lifestyle

    This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group? and Brita, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BritaOnTheGo http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV?

    How To: Infuse Your Water. Fun ways to freshen up your water. Stay hydrated without getting bored by adding fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and citrus. From The Glowing Fridge

    We know drinking water is beneficial for our health and skin but some of us struggle with drinking enough. Let’s be real – water can get a little plain and boring at times!! So I’m sharing a few fun ways to easily infuse your water and add lots of fresh flavor, making it easier to drink more of it throughout the day and help you stay on top of hydration. Plus, adding fresh fruits, veggies and herbs can make you feel like you’re at the spa, having a relaxing day 🙂

    Whether out and about or working from home, I’ve been loving my new Brita water bottle with a built-in filter. You can conveniently fill it up anywhere (gym, school, work, drinking fountains) and feel good about the water your drinking. From our tap water, Brita filters out impurities and harmful contaminants like chlorine, copper and mercury which can affect our bodies long-term and cause permanent damage. I’ve always felt skeptical about what is added to our tap water and filtered water takes the worry out of that. I found my Brita in the hardware section at Walmart, but you can also find it here. It definitely makes water taste better too.

    Tips to Infuse Your Water:

     

    How To: Infuse Your Water

    1) Add Fresh Herbs: 

    Now that summer is here, herbs are cheaper, more fresh and easier to come by. Maybe you even have a little herb garden like me! Although, If I’m buying herbs from the store, they always seem to go bad fast (unless I quickly freeze them) so this is a great way to use them up and not waste your herbs. Fresh herbs like rosemary, lavender, mint and basil add so much flavor to your water and taste refreshing.

    2) Add fresh fruits and veggies

    Juicy fruits and water-dense veggies add lots of sweet, crisp flavor to brighten up your water. Fruits like sliced strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, oranges and watermelon work best rather than fruits like bananas. Same goes for veggies. Cucumber is a popular very spa-esque addition! The best part? You can snack on them throughout the day as long as they stay refrigerated. YUM.

    3) Add citrus

    I’m obsessed with lemons and limes! Every morning I drink lemon water right when I wake up to detoxify and wake up the body. Find the recipe here. It’s become a favorite part of my morning routine. Adding citrus slices throughout the day is great to perk up your water too. It can’t get any more fresh and energizing  than citrus.

    Other options:

    chia seeds, food-grade essential oils and of course, ice cubes!!!

      In a pinch I added frozen fruit to some water when I was really thirsty in the middle of the night. It flavored and cooled the water at the same time. That night I used raspberries and mangos.

      Thank you so much for your blog! I enjoy all of your fresh recipe ideas! I love to add fresh watermelon & mint to my water. I can drink a gallon of this infusion a day. Cheers!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
