3 healthy ways to jazz up your child’s water
April 23, 2016 12:33
Water and milk are the best things your child can drink to moisturize his/her body. But what if they don’t like milk and don’t want to drink simple water?
Here are some ideas how to jazz up your child’s water without making it unhealthy.
- A tall glass of cool water infused with natural flavors. Try adding berries with mint leaves, a citrus blend, cucumber and melon, or apples with a cinnamon stick. You can work with your child to create fun combinations.
- Make lemonade with agave nectar instead of sugar. Agave nectar has the same number of calories as sugar, but because it is sweeter, people tend to use less of it.
- Consider an artificially sweetened beverage. If you’re having difficulties getting your child to drink plain water, consider one glass of artificially sweetened beverage. However, doctors say you should clear this with a pediatrician or healthcare provider.
