5 Ways To Make Healthier Ice Cubes

To make healthy ice cubes, you can use a variety of ingredients to add flavor and nutritional value. Here are a few ideas:

1. Fruit-infused ice cubes: Chop up fresh fruits like berries, citrus slices, or watermelon and place them in ice cube trays. Fill the trays with water or fruit juice and freeze. These fruit-infused ice cubes can be added to water or used in smoothies for a refreshing and healthy twist.
2. Herb-infused ice cubes: Use herbs like mint, basil, or rosemary to infuse your ice cubes with flavor. Simply place a sprig or a few leaves of the herb in each section of an ice cube tray, fill with water, and freeze. These herbal ice cubes can be added to water, iced tea, or cocktails for a burst of freshness.
3. Veggie-infused ice cubes: Blend vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumber, or carrots with water and pour the mixture into ice cube trays. Once frozen, you can add these veggie-infused ice cubes to smoothies or use them to enhance the nutritional content of soups or stews.
4. Green tea or herbal tea ice cubes: Brew your favorite herbal tea or green tea, let it cool, and pour it into ice cube trays. These tea ice cubes can be added to water for a subtle flavor or used to chill and flavor your favorite beverages.
5. Coconut water ice cubes: Fill ice cube trays with pure coconut water and freeze. These coconut water ice cubes can be added to smoothies or used to enhance the flavor and electrolyte content of your drinks.

Remember to experiment with different combinations and flavors to find the ones you enjoy the most. It’s a simple and creative way to add extra nutrients and flavor to your beverages while staying hydrated. —Vita Daily
