It is so often that we miss and want soda so much even though we realize that it can compromise our health. We tried to turn into the diet soda which is still going to add some pounds on us. It does not help the diet too if you are drinking coffee. The drink is not really hydrating but will make you so jittery. On the other hand, to have to drink water that is plain and tasteless all the time is also so boring. It is like having to eat the same salad for breakfast, dinner ad lunch in one day. It is not that we despise water, but we just want to have some flavors in our drinks for a change. Maybe something like those sweet flavored water recipes?
Knowing that we prefer to have drinks that are flavored, many companies started to make the flavored water. They invaded the grocery stores by storm and we accept them with open arms. We do not really realize that the flavored drinks provided by the huge commercial companies are nothing but unhealthy chemicals, sugar and food coloring. So how can it be healthier than those cans of soda? After all, we are all drinking water not only because we need to answer the calling of thirst from our body, but also because we know that it is healthy for us and it can help our diet.
So what should we do when we know that we cannot drink soda or gulp on those flavored drinks? Does this mean that we are stuck with the plain water all the time? The answer is no. We can actually make our own flavored drink and it is not difficult at all once you know the recipes. In fact, you can simply add some natural ingredients to the water and you will have your own favorite flavored drinks. These will help you to lose weight and answer to your sweet cravings. Here are some of the ideas that you can use:
Sweet Tart
The drink is a combination between pineapples, cherries and apples.
Strawberry Basil Blast
The mixture of strawberries and fresh basil will give you the ever refreshing drink.
