Make your own tasty vitamin water- quick and easy ideas!

It the new year and at least half the world seems to be on board with eating healthier and getting fit! I have been asked a lot recently, about how my kids and I make our real vitamin water. We have several that we like and make often. These are meant to be EASY- so don't over think it!  

A Few Pointers Before You Begin:
* Be sure to wash your fruit and veggies thoroughly before tossing them into your water
* Shoot for the 12-24 hour range in the refrigerator before drinking- easy to make before you go to bed, then take with you the next morning (12-18hrs after making) or drink that evening (18-24 hrs after making)
* Drink within the first 48 hours to get the most benefits of the infused water and avoid the fruit and vegetables to break down.
* It not necessary to squeeze your fruit into the water- just slice in circles (not wedges) and let it soak in the water.
* Stir gently and strain as desired before drinking, or just stick a straw in it!
* Whenever possible buy organic fruits and vegetables
