Cucumber Mint Water

Friday, March 15, 2013

One of our favorite skinny secrets ... don't drink your calories! We always choose ice water over drinking a soda, sugary ice tea or lemonade. One 12oz can of soda has around 150 calories. If you trade one soda each day for a glass of ice water, you would save over 1000 calories each week! Enough motivation to drink more water?


We know plain old ice water can be a bit bland after a while so a couple times a week we make a pitcher of infused water. No not the artificially sweetened chemical water but homemade flavored water! Today we are making a pitcher of clean, refreshing cucumber mint water. Just add sliced cucumbers & fresh mint to a pretty pitcher. Add ice, fill with water and enjoy!
