Fill your favorite reusable water bottle with fresh, clean water. Why choose reusable bottles over disposable, plastic bottles? To save $ and reduce the number of plastic bottles in our landfills.

Step 2 of 6
There are lots of natural fruits & vegetables you can choose from to flavor plain water. My favorites are blueberries, lemons, cucumbers, peaches and pineapple. They're full of healthful nutrients.

Wash and dice fresh stone fruits - like peaches. Stone fruits are rich in vitamins A, C and E, fiber, and potassium. Put extra fruit in a storage container to snack on later.

Fill your bottle with water. Add a few slices of cucumber, or a few berries, or the fruit of your choice. But add just a little - not the entire piece of fruit/veggie.

Don't forget about fresh organic herbs! Basil added to the cucumber is wonderful. Or try mint with the fruit, or just the mint alone is soothing.

Rosalia - lemon water is good source of vitamin C and potassium to boost immune health and control blood pressure. Here's a blog post I wrote about lemons.....http://tonyapeele.com/blog/2012/08/30/start-your-day-with-a-cup-of-warm-lemon-water/
