With the new year brings new goals and that means dropping old (bad) habits for the sake of improvement. One of the goals I implemented in 2014, was to drink more water. I was not dropping a soda habit but I just forget to drink anything for long periods of time and usually recall right before dinner time. I started by just carrying a water bottle around and realized that it's nice and heavy in my purse when full. I carried that water bottle everywhere and never even forgot it or lost it......but rarely had any. I think just the idea of drinking plain water over and over again was sort of lost on my taste buds unless they were suffering from thirst.

My solution in 2015.........let's add fruit to the party! An infuser water bottle allows me to change things up with the seasons, my cravings, to just getting me enticed to drink more fluids and of the good kind to boot. FlavFusion makes the perfect Infuser bottle minus the big price tag. The bottle does not have all the bells and whistles but it's the ideal "starter bottle" I need. This allows me to know if this will work for me, do I want to add more bottles to the collection, or is this just another bottle for me to lug around.
Retail Price Point: $11.61 via Amazon for a large 26 ounce bottle
When the FlavFusion bottle arrived, I was ready with my favorite fruit, Pomegranates. I had one ready with all the arils already removed so I can get a jump start. I did as instructed and washed the bottle, removed the top, added the fruit to the "infuser tube", added filtered water and allowed everything to come together. I even semi-crushed some of the fruit to allow better (and quicker) infused results. I tried both an overnight fusion and even a simple one hour of soaking before drinking. I can say I did enjoy playing with the flavors, amount of fruits to different fruit combinations. I even used Coconut water at times as a base and made a tropical blend with a small Pineapple spear and Tangerine slices. My experience was mostly positive and I did drink my way to 6 to 8 glasses of fluid a day. Success and very easy to do!
The Positives-
- Low price point and especially if you are starting out and want a easy travelling around bottle
- The bottle holds a nice amount of fluid, 26 ounces in all
- Removable fruit infuser core, so no battling trying to fit fruit in a fixed center, that may fall and then swim around freely in the bottle
- BPA Free and Lead Free
- Bottle is made of PET Plastic
- Basket (infuser core) is made of Polypropylene
- Made in the USA and if the bottle has issues, the seller replaces defective bottles

A few (small) Cons- The bottle states to hand-wash and I know sometimes we are all use to just adding items to the dishwasher and even the top rack. This would be a no-go here as the heat would probably damage the product. Knowing that the bottle is made of better materials, I can easily overlook this. The bottle sometimes drips from the top where you secure it closed and this could cause some drops to leak and that can't be too nice when carrying or if it happens to tip over. Just make sure to always keep it upright and you should drink happily!
