H20 2.0
I don’t know about you, but previous to my supportive nutrition crusade, I was a minimal-to-none water drinker. My thoughts were I got plenty in my coffee. Yeah, yeah, I know. Could be worse, I suppose-it could be soda (I have never liked that)
But I just don’t LIKE water. It doesn’t taste good, and it’s so BORING! But when Ben suggested I drink 1/2 my body weight in ounces of water per day, I thought, hmm how can I make this palatable?!
So I took out my ice cube trays, took a lemon, and cut it into little wedge-shaped slices. I squeezed 1 slice into each ice cube receptacle, then dropped the rest of the lemon in. I added 1 leaf of mint per ice cube, carefully poured water over each ice cube hole, and froze it.

It came out with beautifully clean and fresh looking ice cubes- with a lemon slice and mint eventually melting to float in your glass !
This method can be done with lime, cucumbers (hear me out, it’s EXCELLENT!), fruit like berries or melon, and kids love it, too!
P.S. To people who feel the need to send hate mail or post comments because I have the audacity to sometimes use pictures taken with my cell phone rather than my camera: I figure a fuzzy picture is better than no picture. If I’m at a place where my camera isn’t readily available, or my camera batteries die, I’m going to use my cell phone. And, if you don’t like it, don’t look : )

You tell ‘em Neda! I love the pics… good or bad… or fuzzy or clear! A visual is always nice and I enjoy going to your site daily. You always amaze me with your creative mind. Keep up the awsome work!
Thanks Shannon!
I’m not too concerned with the comment- just want to make it clear that I am more about the visual and I’m freakin’ busy!!! If I God forbid am not near my camera, I want people to at least have an idea!
Ouch. My feelings are so hurt!
Anyway, I guess I am old fashioned, because I actually like the taste of water. I very rarely drink anything else. I guess it is just a hold over from when I was in the Army.
