Whether you’re running errands or sipping on these refreshing drinks throughout the school day, they are sure to give you the healthy benefits every student needs. They taste delicious and each ingredient has its own way of keeping your body healthy.
Here’s what you need:

What to do:

- Fill the water bottle less than half way with ice and water
- Add the fruit and ingredients
- Fill the rest of the bottle with ice and water
This time I chose to make two different water bottles. The first one is a more sweet and fruity combination filled with oranges, lemons and strawberries. The second is super refreshing, filled with lemons, limes, cucumbers and mint leaves.
Benefits of each of these ingredients:
Oranges: Lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of liver cancer and boost your heart health
Lemons: Promote weight loss and have many nervous system benefits
Limes: Great for digestion, constipation and heart disease
Mint leaves: Help get rid of pimples, nausea headaches and even depression, according to organicfacts.com
Cucumbers: Help with hangovers, hair, skin and are a great dose of vitamin B
Strawberries: Help burn fat and boost short-term memory
