Gem and Jo's Water of the Week - Raspberry and Apple.

It's February which means that by now most of us have totally failed or forgotten about our new years resolutions. But who says you need the start of a new year to make a healthy change? So what's on our agenda you may ask.... Water. You've probably heard hundreds of times that drinking water is the first step to a healthy lifestyle. It helps to improve your skin, maintain your muscles and fight fatigue. "But water is soo boring!!" we hear you say. Well we're here to show you how to spice up your water and add some extra vitamins!
Valentine's day is just around the corner and what says Valentine's Day more than PINK! Here's our water of the week, Apple and Raspberry Infused Water.

Here's what you need:

A Pink Lady Apple!

Some frozen Raspberries!

A jug, some water (duh!) and ice in a cute glass. 

All you need to do is chop your apple up into thin slices (avoid loosing a limb during the process) and chuck everything into the water! Simples! 

Let your water sit for a few minutes, to infuse all the goodness and you are good to go! Stick it in a cute little glass or in a bottle and bring it along with you during the day! 

How cute is our little love heart wooden spoon?

Here's why this combo of fruit and water is so good for you!

• Apples are a great source of immune boosting vitamin C
• Apples are a great source of antioxidants which help fight free radicals
• Raspberries = great for your brain health
• Raspberries also contain the the antioxidant zeaxanthin which helps with retina (eye) health. 
• The vitamin C in Raspberries and Apples help to keep your eyes healthy in general. 

So with such an extensive list of benefits to this tasty drink, why wouldn't you go out and get yourselves some raspberries and apples! And, buying a couple of raspberries and a couple of apples is a lot cheaper than shelling out for a new bottle of juice each day! Yay for benefits! 

Also did we mention it's cute and it's pink? Who doesn't love cute and pink?
