8 Infused Water Recipes Kids Will Actually Drink

Want kids to drink more water? Here’s a few tips before we start infusing their water:

  • Options – let them pick out their favorite fruits, allow them to chop them up, add them in.
  • Fun names – giving their drinks cool names will help make finishing the drink more fun.
  • Good flavor – go with your kids’ favorites. If they hate sour foods, avoid lemon and lime. If they’re not big fruit lovers, start with only a few and build up over time.
  • Goals – kids love a little friendly competition. Give them a check-off list/reward for finishing “x” number of waters. Let them see which kid finishes their water first.

Fruit Infused Water Stir Sticks for Kids

Giving my kids options and independence in their food choices makes things a little easier for us all. And while fruit infused water may not be the first thing that comes to their minds, they both love their drinks stirred…not shaken. So let them stir in the fun in their lunch with these Fruit Infused Water Stir Sticks. Here’s how:

  1. Add your child’s favorite fruits to a skewer (cutting off the pointy end if desired. Safety first!)
  2. Use a toothpick to poke holes into the fruit (to help infuse your child’s water a little faster)
  3. Stir the stick into your child’s water to bring delicious fruit flavor into their drink, perfect for packing into lunchboxes (and for those indecisive kids that may or may not want to infuse their water that day)

    My kids really enjoy fruit infused waters. It encourages them to drink more water, and they always eat all the fruit when they are finished. I have never tried cucumber in their water. It sounds super refreshing.

    My son is a young teen and I am trying to limit the sugary drinks, it is definitely a battle. He loves infused waters though and I think the stir sticks would be a great idea for him to put together for himself.
