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

It is a gorgeous bank holiday Monday here in Ireland at the moment (it actually isn't raining for once!), so what better way to enjoy the little sunshine we get than relaxing with a nice glass (or pitcher) of fruit infused water! Today's special; Apple and Grape!

Here's what you'll need:

An Apple!

A Handful of Red Grapes. 

Thinly slice the apple and chop your grapes in two. 

Chuck it all into some ice water and you're good to go!

Here's why this combo is good for you: 

• Grapes are a great source of potassium. 
• Apples are a great source of immune boosting vitamin C
• Apples are a great source of antioxidants which help fight free radicals
• Grapes can help to reduce blood pressure through anti inflammatory mechanisms. 
• Grapes are great for keeping your hydrated!

What's your favourite fruity water to drink on a sunny day?

Gem and Jo's Water of the Week - Flavoured Water

This week we've decided to do something a little different, and it wasn't because of the fact that neither of us happened to have any fruit in our houses today (that's a lie, we got a little lazy...oops)

The other day we happened upon something amazing, magical in fact. 

Flavoured water.

Don't rush to judge us now, we know that the general opinion of flavoured water isn't great but this one seems pretty good to us!  We picked up Tesco's Orange and Peach Still Water, just to try something a little different and we were surprised at how good it is!

It's seriously tasty and from the ingredients the only thing it contains is a little flavouring and some sweeteners. All the GDA information is in the green and it contains hardly anything! Check for yourself, here's the nutritional information for Tesco's Peach and Orange Still Water:

You can pick this 1 litre bottle up for just 40c! How good is that? You can also get it in a pack of 4 for €1.99 or you can go fancy and get Volvic's version for €1.45

You can pick these up from Tesco stores or you can order them online here

Have you tried this water or any other flavoured water? What's your opinion?

Until next time,
