Many people know that fruit juice is not exactly the healthiest thing since it has a lot of quickly digestible sugar, which in turn, raises the level of insulin in the blood and stops all your efforts of losing weight.
Also, many people know that to lose weight and get slim and healthy, they need to drink regularly minimum half of the gallon of water a day.
You are right that, clean and filtered from any contaminants water is unconditionally the best possible choice.
However, if you want and need to motivate yourself to drink more or want to make your life more tasteful and colorful, then I suggest you familiarize yourself with the simple trick of getting a delicious water drink.
In this article, I will give you tips and some of my favorite recipes as well as review best infuser bottles which will make the preparation of the drink easy as one, two, three.

Why Would You Want To Infuse Fruits?
Nutritionists and fitness trainers agree that it is very crucial to drink plenty of water if your intention is a weight loss. Water not only boosts your metabolism but also cleanses kidneys, removes accumulated toxins and helps to keep your skin nice and soft.
And, to follow these recommendations we always need to carry a bottle of fresh water with us to keep up our daily intake.
Often we are buying sparkling, spring or mineral water, and don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with it. But first, mineral water cannot be drunk uncontrollably, because of the amount of minerals and salts that can result to be excessive in our body.
Secondly, continually buying products in disposable plastic bottles, we are polluting our environment and harm our ecosystem with the unnecessarily large amount of plastics – in fact, plastic is not recycled in all countries as the one might think.
Usually, these disposable bottles are thrown into the garbage, and then to the landfill, and because of the characteristics of the material, those essentially do not decompose for years and years.
As an alternative may serve, reusable bottles, which are often used by athletes and fitness lovers. In such bottles, you can pour clean water as well as various tasty cocktails or protein shakes.
The latest trend in the niche of a healthy lifestyle and fitness is the preparation of fruit drinks based on plain water. The method behind this is simple, chopped pieces of fresh fruits are poured into the clean water and left there for several hours.
Water due to its extractive nature pulls out all the vitamins and flavors from the fruit and absorbs them.
As a result, you receive a delicious, aromatic and full of vitamins healthy drink, with very little sugar, which doesn’t dismiss all your efforts of a healthy lifestyle and dieting.
The water extract is easy to prepare at home. But the progress doesn’t stand still, and on the shop shelves, there are already individual plastic infuser bottles, that allow your to produce fruity water directly in the bottle and carry it throughout a day.
What is more important, is that those bottles are leak proof and very easy to take with you to the office, trip to nature, for a simple walk or carry during sports activity to support your hydration throughout the day.
Drink preparation in the infuser bottle is a pure pleasure. The only thing you need to do is to chop your favorite fruit and put it into the particular compartment of the bottle.
Fill the bottle with clean water after, close and seal the bottle and leave it for a couple of hours.
After some time water, full of healthy benefits and vitamins is ready!
You can also show your imagination here and mix an original drink every day continually discovering new tastes of water.
You need to remember to fill your bottle with pure, clean water that is either cold or at room temperature, but water should not be hot as this will boil the fruit and you will lose all benefits.
You can mix all different types of fruits, berries, and herbs together, such as lemon, strawberries, cherries, apples, fresh ginger or you can even add a bit of hot pepper into the infusion. To get a refreshing taste of the drink, you can add leaves of mint or lime.
There is a countless number of combinations, and as a bonus, I will add some of my favorite recipes at the end of this article.
So without a further ado, let’s have a look at a couple of bottle infusers that I think are the best choice you can pick on the market today.

Key Features: BPA-Free Tritan material, 32 oz capacity, 20 free recipes included, big size of fruit compartment
I have selected this infuser water bottle as one of the best based on the provided feedback about this product. The main advantage of this bottle infuser is the size of the bottle but also the size itself of the fruit section.
The bottle has a capacity of 32oz, and the fruit section goes through the whole length of the bottle to the bottom, which means that compared to the other products you can fill it with more fruit and receive more health benefits for you.
As the material manufacturer has used BPA-Free Tritan, you can read more about the importance of the BPA-Free requirement in this article. Also, you can find more information about the Tritan as the material in this article, but the main thing you should know is that Tritan is entirely safe and durable material to use.
Another aspect that customers appreciate about this bottle-infuser is that the bottle is very well sealed and there is no leakage.
The lid of the bottle has a flip-top cover with a button and is also equipped with the loop so you can attach the bottle to your backpack.
I can say that the lid is designed based on customers needs and ensures that the bottle won’t open in your bag. The infuser is also very easy to open when it comes to opening it with one hand, as you only push the button.
This is very convenient in case you take the bottle with you on the bicycle trip, where you cannot really use both hands.
I am pretty sure that by now you are convinced that this bottle-infuser is the right choice but if you are still not sure, let me tell you another reason to get this bottle.
Live Infinitely comes with the free recipe ebook where you find a total of 20 infusing variations. You can download the eBook in advance here.
- Full bottle length infusion section and big size
- BPA-Free Tritan
- 20 free recipes eBook
- Easy to open
- Various color options
- Some customers reported the break of the plastic lid
Conclusion
Overall this is an excellent choice for people that are looking for a big size bottle. The water bottle is made of safe material and is different to others because of the size of the fruit section that goes through the whole length of the water bottle so, you can add more fruit to it.
Free eBook of 20 recipes is just a nice added bonus to this great product.
AQUATIME Fruit Infuser
Our Rating:
Price: Check the latest price
Key features: Free eBook with over 70 recipes, smart tracking of daily intake, free cleaning brush
I personally like this particular bottle because of 2 things. Firstly, this bottle comes with 2 freebies and let’s be honest, we all love free stuff, and it doesn’t even matter what is it as long as it’s free.
Second:
This bottle helps you to be on track with your daily water intake.
Essentially, this infuser water bottle is very similar to the Live Infinitely bottle mentioned previously in this article. It is made of the BPA-Free Tritan and therefore its safe for your health.
The bottle has the same capacity of 32 oz which in my opinion is ideal because it offers enough of the capacity, but yet the size of the bottle is not enormous.
Another feature that makes this bottle to stand out is the timing marks on the bottle itself. Time starts at 8 am and finishes at 5 pm with the hour marks in between.
Essentially this means that in the time between 8 am and 5 pm you should drink two bottles, which will cover the recommended daily intake of the water.
As I mentioned earlier, there are two freebies with this product. The first freebie is the cleaning brush for your bottle. I don’t think there is a need to add anything else to it as it does what its made for.
The second freebie is, as well as in the first product, an eBook with different infusion recipes. Meanwhile, Live Infinitely bottle offers an eBook with 20 recipes, Aquatime provides an eBook with 72 infusion variations, but also 25 detox recipes.
I think it is a pretty good deal that comes with the bottle. You will receive a free eBook after your purchase on your email, in case you have not received it contact the seller directly.
There is, however, a small disadvantage to the Live Infinitely water bottle. The infuser section where fruit is placed is standard size comparing to the previous product where this section is full bottle length.
If you can live with the fact that you will not have as much fruit as in the first bottle, I think this bottle is a perfect purchase.
- Free cleaning brush
- Free eBook with over 70 recipes
- Timing marks to track your daily intake
- BPA-Free Tritan
- Fruit infuser section is smaller than in Live Infinitely bottle
- Some users reported leaks from the lid
Conclusion
If you have a feeling like you are not drinking enough water during the day, this bottle will help you to do so by tracking your water intake every single hour.
Two additional freebies especially an eBook with over 70 recipes make it totally worth the purchase.
Prodyne Infuser Pitcher
Our Rating:
Price: Check the latest price
Key features: high capacity – 93 oz, BPA-Free Acrylic glass, multi-use kitchen pitcher
Prodyne is not actually a bottle as previous 2, but yet I have decided to include it in this article, as I feel like it belongs here.
It is actually a pitcher rather than a bottle. With the capacity of the 93 oz, you can be sure that there will be enough of the tasty water for the whole family.
I think an infuser pitcher is an exciting option if you have a big family especially if you struggle to drink enough during the day.
You can just put the pitcher on the table, and you will be surprised how much you will enjoy sipping from it during the day.
Also, this is an attractive alternative option to various soda drinks when you are hanging out with your friends watching a new exciting movie on the Netflix, playing such important FIFA tournament or having a lovely summer barbecue party with your closest friends in the garden.
The manufacturer offers a wide variety of different pitchers. There is even a more significant pitcher with the capacity of 112 oz as well as different variations of the pitchers, carafes, and jars.
The whole product is made of BPA-Free acrylic glass which is safe for your health. The infuser itself has a full pitcher length size so; you can fit a significant number of fruits in there.
It is recommended to replace fruit every 5-7 days. To get maximum flavor and benefits of it, refill your pitcher with the water whenever you pour the water out of it, so the fruit always stays in the water.
The manufacturer also advises to hand-wash this product and do not put it in the dishwasher.
- 93 oz capacity, 80 oz with infuser
- BPA-Free Acrylic
- The manufacturer offers various pitchers
- Multi-use pitcher
- Great for parties and big families
- Some users reported that pitcher cracked or arrived cracked
Conclusion
This infuser pitcher is an excellent choice if you want to keep your whole family hydrated during the day, but also you can always pour your travel bottle with already flavored water and be ready for your next exciting trip.
Bonus Recipes
As I promised earlier in this article, I will give five free infused water recipes that you can try right now. Before I mention any of the recipes, I want to tell you that there are no limits on how you can mix your drink so please release your creativity as much as you can.
Use all sorts of fruits such as berries, melon, citrus, apples or pears, as the vegetable will do cucumber and carrots but also you can incorporate different herbs such as mint, basil, rosemary, parsley and much more.
Interesting option to consider is also various spices such as cinnamon sticks, ginger, cloves or vanilla, but you can go even further and include edible flowers such as roses, lavender or hibiscus.
Remember there is the unlimited amount of flavors and that is the beauty of it. Now let’s have a look at promised recipes.
- I know that most of the recipes when you search on the internet include any citruses such as lime, lemon or also oranges. This recipe is going to be interesting for people who are allergic to citrus and cannot use them. All the ingredients you need are apple, cucumber, and carrot. We need to peel and cut everything into the infuser and fill with water, in this case, it can be hot water. Leave the mixture to cool down, put it in the refrigerator and your drink is ready! You will receive a nice interesting taste of apple and cucumber, while carrot is more for beauty and also vitamin K for your eyesight.
- The second recipe is straightforward. All you need is 1 cup of sliced strawberries, a handful of fresh basil, and vanilla pod (you will need to remove seeds).
- This recipe will add a sweet and refreshing taste of your water. You will need sliced, ripe mango and pineapple and a handful of fresh mint. Load everything into your infuser and let it rest for a couple of hours in a refrigerator.
- My favorite flavor is an apple with cinnamon. The recipe is simple, and you will need sliced green or red apple and several cinnamon sticks, and your drink is ready.
- The last recipe is a quite unusual choice. It’s cucumber with blueberries and basil. You will need a sliced cucumber, a handful of fresh blueberries and a few leaves of basil. Mix it and enjoy.
So this is it regarding bonus recipes. If you are interested in more creative recipes, here is the book that contains 98 recipes and various combinations for your infuser bottle and pitcher.

Hi Amy,
Yes, definitely. Those will make your drink look and taste fancy with nearly zero added calories to your water.
Great products and information to help with the consumption of water. I am one of those people who struggle to consume adequate amount of water during the day. I think Aquatime fruit infuser can assist me a great deal. Thanx
Hi Thabo,
I have the same trouble 🙂 sometimes it is really hard to be on track and these little things definitely help.
Really informative article. My favorite was the pitcher. I’d like to have that in my refrigerator. I also think I’ll use the apple and cinnamon sticks to flavor my water for work. That sounds really good actually.
I truly enjoyed reading this post.
