50 Fun Flavored Water Ideas

As your trusted dental practice, it’s one of our ongoing initiatives to educate our patients, both young and old on the negative effects of sugary drinks. We can’t believe the amount of sugar that gets put into drinks targeted for kids and promoted to appear as healthy. We strongly encourage drinking water both with meals, and throughout the day to stay hydrated. We know that it can be hard sometimes to get excited about water, especially for the older kids, but we’ve compiled a list of 50 combinations of flavored water that can excite even the pickiest drinkers!

But first, let’s take a look at how much sugar is in our everyday drinks.

I hope we’ve painted a clear enough picture as to why you should stay away from sugary drinks. To try and make your transition from juices, sodas, and energy drinks easier, below you’ll find our list of 50 flavors you can easily create to make your water taste that much better! You’ll notice a big difference in how you feel once you start to transition to drinking only water. Not only will it improve your overall health, but your teeth (which is where we come in) will notice a tremendous difference! We hope you enjoy trying out these new water recipes!

And don’t forget you can make fun combinations of the ingredients. Get creative and combine them so it never gets dull. The possibilities are endless but at the end of our list are some of our favorites.
