Cold Refreshing Drinks

One thing I like to have on hand is a good water bottle. One that keeps my cold drinks cold all day long, and hot drinks hot for long periods of time. This 17oz water bottle from SunCraft is one of the choices out there. It is well made and will perform as stated, keeping cold drinks cool for 24-36 hours and hot drinks hot from 12-24 hours. 

When you are on the run with children in tow it is always a good idea to bring drinks along with you during the hot summer months. Stopping to buy drinks can be expensive and it ads up quickly. Bringing your own water or other cool drinks can save you both time and money. This water bottle is also available in the 25oz size and come in your choice of  black, mint, and ocean which I have pictured above. 

With this you can also reuse so no more bottles to recycle or send to the landfills saving everyone.

The SunCast water bottles can be found on my affiliate link below.

Xtreme Canteen

Love this hot or cold drink Canteen. Doesn't  matter if you put hot of cold liquids in this Canteen it can keep it both cool or warm. Winter Hot chocolate, Summer cold water or Lemonade please. 

Works as stated and holds 32oz much bigger than my 20 oz favorite water bottle. This might just become my new best friend.

This has a wide mouth so you can put nice pieces of ice inside, Keeps your drink cold for hours without ice and for more than a day with ice. I have only had two water bottle before this one that could do that and they are both from the same company this is the second company I have worked with that make a water bottle that is worth paying for. Thumbs up.


This canteen can be found on amazon.


The Xtreme Canteen is a double wall, vacuum insulated, stainless steel canteen. You can put any liquid inside of it- we like to say, “If you can think it, you can drink it.” If the liquid is chilled before entering the bottle, it will remain chilled for approximately 14 hours (without ice). If you put ice inside the bottle, the ice will stay frozen for >24 hours, ensuring your liquid is icy cold for >24 hours. If you put a hot liquid inside the bottle, the liquid will stay hot for up to 12 hours. The outside of the canteen is coated with a special paint, ensuring the canteen does not sweat. Not only does this canteen have fantastic qualities, it is also BPA free. Nowadays, single use plastic bottles, regardless of how long they are kept in the sun (or other places), release extremely harmful chemicals (like antimony) into whatever liquid is in the bottle. These chemicals cause a multitude of health problems, such as dizziness, headaches, and even depression. Our Xtreme Canteen eliminates the problems caused by harmful chemicals found in plastic. 

The Xtreme Canteen also ensures an average person drinks the right amount of water every day. Since our body is composed of 60% water, it is extremely important (and recommended) we drink 48 ounces of water every day. The positive benefits of water are infinite- water improves the body’s circulation, raises energy levels, removes toxins, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells in the body, and more. If people drank a total of 3 full 32 ounce (or even 40 ounce) Xtreme Canteens each day, they would reach their daily water intake quota, guaranteeing improvement in their health.

Not only does the Xtreme Canteen promote healthy living, it also promotes a healthy environment. An average person spends approximately $1,200 a year on purchasing single use plastic bottles. These single use plastic bottles are then thrown away, filling landfills, or floating around in the ocean. By using the Xtreme Canteen, you automatically support a greener and cleaner environment.

ChillWarmer

Love this bottle for my hot liquids like tea and cocoa. Finally a bottle that keeps my drink warm enough to get from point A to B. I am still on the lookout for a bottle that will keep my drink warm enough for a long trip, but this one will do for now.

Wide mouth to put in tea bags, or ice. Easy to clean and doesn't retain smells. My daughter let milk go bad in ours and usually that means hours of soaking and cleaning to get the smell out but not with this bottle it came out the first wash, so that makes my life a bit easier.

Love the top for both drinking cold or hot liquids, has a nice flow. Nice size being 17 oz and for every purchase 5% of all Chillwarmer sales are donated to veterans & the families of fallen soldiers through the Moustache March for the Military organization.

You can find the ChillWamer on Amazon.

Ban the Bottle

Once in a while our home purchases water bottles but most of the time we take a reusable water bottle with us. It is better then drinking soda on the run although we do that from time to time as well.

I really like the fruit infuser water bottle because it gives me a choice of plain water or infused water with fruit and if you are really crafty and have a Soda Stream or other kind of soda maker you can fizz up your water before adding your fruit for a fizzy fruit flavored drink.

Our family loves to try new mixtures. One of my favorites are strawberry's and blueberries.  This bottle had a wide mouth to put in your ice, water, then infuser with fruit, with a little strainer so the fruit doesn't come up through the drinking spout. The drinking spout is one of the most important parts. I don't always have time to unscrew a cap to get a drink I need to just be able to flip, drink, close and go about my business. Life is busy being a mom and the easier it is for me to drink water the more water I drink.

You can find the GWB Fruit Infuser Water Bottle on Amazon.

Infused Water Bottles

Making infused water couldn't be easier. Yes making infused water in a picture is easier and makes a lot more but in an infuser bottle you can change up the flavor of your water each day. Our family loves both water and infused water. I lean more towards infused water just because I have never really enjoyed water all that much.

Love all of the water bottle out there to infuse water in, but some are just better then others. You don't have to pay alot for a good one but you do need to look for several things. First of all that your infuser hold the fruit you want to infuse in the infuser cartridge, and that you are comfortable actually using the bottle you are going to use.

This one has several pieces that are new to me, that make this a little different then other water bottles. Even though I like this one I personally like the kind that I don't have to open up all of the way to get a drink. I like them with a mouth piece which this does not have, but I do like that this one does not leak during use.

You can find this infuser water bottle on Amazon.

Water is the staff of life
The average adult human body is comprised of about 65% water. It regulates body temperature, protects body organs and tissues, lubricates joints, and flushes out waste products. However, the human body expels water through respiration, perspiration and waste elimination. If you do not replenish your body's water volume, all of the vital processes suffer. Nutrients and oxygen don't get carried to the cells. The liver can't filter out impurities, which then weakens the immune system. And weight begins to pile up on you. 
Fruit infusion makes water interesting again
Many people don't drink water because it doesn't tantalize the taste buds. Trim Evolution Water Infusion Bottle puts "zing" into your drinking water. By adding great-tasting fruits, vegetable and herbs to water, you treat your body to the hydration that it needs and get a healthy, delicious beverage at the same time. 
Infused water does more than just taste good
Many fruits, vegetables and herbs have natural diuretic, cleansing attributes. In addition to keeping your body hydrated, these types of infusion recipes will stimulate your body to flush harmful toxins from your body. Your body begins working more efficiently, weight loss accelerates, and you begin to feel good all over. 
Trim Evolution Water Infusion Bottle is the most reliable accessory for making delicious infused-water recipes
Made of shatter-resistant, leak-proof Tritan plastic, Trim Evolution withstands everything that life throws at the two of you, and still delivers healthy water-based refreshment at a moment's notice. Your special blend of fruit-infused water will be delicious and invigorating from start to finish.

Keeps your water cool all day long

Water bottles are a big thing in our family, they are used for road trips, hiking, biking, sports, and when ever we know we will be waiting somewhere for a while, as in picking up the kids from their extracurricular activities. 

With that being said I want to make sure my families water stays cool all day long. Believe me finding a water bottle that can accomplish this is harder then you woud think. 

Futurepace Tech is one of the few bottles that we own that can live up to the claim of keeping your beverage cool. 

Think a hot car thats gets over a 100 degrees in the summer and when you get in after a day at the mall your drink is still cool and refreshing. That is my kind of bottle. 

I do wish that they had made a bigger opening so I could put ice inside as well, but the bottle still works without ice so it passes the test. I haven't put it to the test of keeping hot liquids hot but winter is coming which means hot cocoa season so it won't be long till I can give it the full test.

Live Infinitely

The Live Infinitely infuser water bottle is the first infuser bottle I have seen where the infuser is attached to the bottom, which makes so much sense because that is where your water sits to the very end. Which means every last drop is infused with lots of fruit flavor.

I also liked how the top came off and you were able to drink out of it like a cup. Doesn't work well while you are driving but works well pretty much everywhere else.

So many colors to choose from, each person in my home can have a different color so there are no mix ups, which makes me really happy. I don't like to share drinks.




You can purchase the Live infinitely infuser water bottle on Amazon.
