We are back from our trip and I found something great I had to share with all of you!
I really love a glass of crystal light or a diet coke on a hot day but I worry about the splenda and all the artificial sugars that are in diet drinks. We will be trying to get pregnant soon and I haven't heard great things about them especially when you are expecting.
My refreshing alternative is cucumber water!
It really is quite yummy and so great on a hot day. Best off all it's all natural so I don't have to worry if I drink an entire pitcher. All that you have to do is add thin slices of cucumber to a pitcher or glass of ice water. My cousins who showed it to be let it soak in for a little bit but I don't think that's necessary. They also like to add a slice or two of lemon as well. The slices are great floating in the top of the glass and are a nice little crunchy snack at the end!
I made 4 Quarts of it today and added almost all of a very long but skinny cucumber.
Hope you enjoy!
oooh, hope you had a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteyum!! i might have to try that!!
ReplyDeleteI know someone who did the cucumber drink, but also with orange slices!
ReplyDeleteSomeone recently told me about Cucumber water!! I will have to try it soon!!
ReplyDeletedelicious! very spa! i also like sparkling water -- no sweenters and no spelenda!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really yummy change from Crystal Lite or a diet coke (which I have almost cut out of my diet).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. I'm gonna try it! I've been rather proud of myself for all the water I have been reaching for instead of the "other" drinks.
I'm going to have to try that! I've been putting sliced up oranges in my water forever...I think it's time for a change.
