Sip yourself slim this summer!
Can you see the sun’s rays beating down on you while you sit on the beach in your new bikini (one that you look and feel great in, by the way?!)? Can you feel the refreshing, sandy breeze that came just in time to cool you off? The only thing missing from this amazing “summeresque” scenario is (drum roll please) some summer fruit infused water recipes for weight loss!
Now, don’t get me wrong, the typical lemon water is really great. In fact, I drink a glass or two almost every day. But, here on this list of infused water recipes for weight loss, we’re getting creative. Sure, we have some of the more typical fruit infused recipes for those of you who like to keep it simple and old school. Believe me, I am sometimes one of those people, too (hence why I drinklemon wateralmost every day).
This list of 55 different fruit infused water recipes for weight loss is perfect for when you need a cooling summer refreshment or when you are struggling to drink enough water! From bubbly infused water recipes, to recipes that call for some kombucha, to recipes that use water and citrus fruits to create amazing iced teas and lemonades, to recipes that throw just about every fresh fruit possible into the mix, this list is sure to give you at least one (and I’m sure there will be more than one) recipe that you will fall in love with. It might even replace that daily healthy lemon water of yours! Say goodbye to sugary drinks and say hello to some of the best ways to make your fruit infused water!
1.Cucumber Melon Detox Drink
What better way to get ready for summer than with a detox drink? Excuse me, I meant a detox drink WITH FRUIT IN IT! This SkinnyMs fruit infused water recipe for weight loss is a detox drink, but that doesn’t mean that it’s loaded with ingredients or filled with powders. This detox drink calls for a total of six ingredients, and they’re all natural. Plus, the melon part of the recipe is kind of up for interpretation. We used watermelon, but feel free to use honeydew or cantaloupe! The health benefits of a detox drink are fabulous and make this one a great option if you want a healthy drink.

2.Citrus Spritz Mocktail
This fruity concoction is sure to transport your taste buds straight to the islands! A combination of sparkling water, orange, lime, and raspberries will keep you satisfied and hydrated all summer long. Feel free to use flat water in place of sparkling if you wish!

3.Fruit Infused Water
Damn Deliciousmay have made the title of her recipe simple, but the flavors of the recipe are anything but simple! They’re sweet and insanely refreshing thanks to the fruit the recipe calls for:
- Kiwi
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
4.Strawberry-Basil Water
Alright, you might already know this by now, but berries are my favorite fruit. Blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries…I can’t just pick one. They’re all too good! With that being said, you could probably put any berry in water for me to like it, but this Strawberry-Basil Water recipe of ours is actually AMAZING. The addition of the fresh herbs helps make plain old water amazing!
How do I know? Well, when a four year old takes your water bottle full of it and proceeds to finish all of it, you know.
Try it: Strawberry-Basil Water
5.Chia and Acai Fresca
I am always looking for easy recipes to incorporate chia seeds into my meals. They’re just so good for you and since they’re tasteless, they can really be thrown into so many things! That being said, I was a huge fan of this infused-water recipe byGreen Kitchen Storiesbefore even trying it. Then, after I did try it, I became an even bigger fan! So yummy!
6.Homemade Electrolyte Drink For POTS
Whether you suffer from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) or not, this infused-water recipe byA Saucy Kitchenis delicious! The orange, lime, and lemon flavors scream “summer!” while the drink itself works to hydrate.

Try it:
8.Cantaloupe and Cucumber Water
Rachel Cooksis not wrong when she says that the taste and refreshing qualities of her Cantaloupe and Cucumber Water is not the only good thing about it. Each glass is also super pretty and colorful! You can’t go wrong with adding light greens and oranges to any summer day!
9.5-Ingredient Blackberry Limeade
As you may have guessed from the name, this recipe byJessica in the Kitchenonly calls for 5 ingredients. What I love most about this summer water-infused recipe is that it’s naturally super sweet! This fruit combination containsno refined ingredients–just blackberries, lime, basil leaves, water, and coconut sugar for that extra sweetness!
10.Cleansing Cucumber Lemonade
Lemonade is one of the ultimate summer drinks. Unfortunately, though, some lemonades are a lot more unnatural, sugar-filled products than they are lemon. Our lemonade is not one of those recipes.
In fact, it’s actually more water and more lemon than anything else. It’s really just water infused with fruit juice–lemon juice, that is! It’s sweetened with a touch of honey and then infused with some cucumber for an upgrade!
Try it: Cleansing Cucumber Lemonade
11.Lemon Ginger Peach Spritzer
This recipe was created byTable for Twoand it is a whole new take on your traditional infused water. The ingredient combination between lemon and fresh ginger is truly a winner. This recipe’s base is really a mixture of water and kombucha (AKA the best drink EVER). Kombucha has so, so, so many great nutritional benefits such as:
- Aids in digestion
- Aids in weight loss
- Detoxifies
- Lowers cholesterol
- Boosts immunity
- Promotes good gut health

12.Strawberry Thyme Mood Booster Infused Water
Really, who DOESN’T need a mood booster? I know I do! I could be having the best day ever, and I’d still say yes to anything that has mood-boosting qualities in it. Plus, over the summer, all I want to do is smile and play around in the sun. Yes, I will always be a kid at heart.
That being said, I think it would just be silly if you didn’t want to brighten your mood, too. And, why not brighten it with this infused-water recipe byEating Bird Food?! The subtle flavors of the thyme in this recipe makes this for one of my favorite water combinations. Go ahead and get you a big infusion pitcher, because you’ll want to keep this around for a while!
13.Grapefruit Jalapeno Metabolism Booster Infused Water
I think I love metabolism-boosters just about as much as I love mood-boosters! I actually like to believe that when my metabolism is boosted, so is my mood. So, if you like grapefruit and jalapenos, this metabolism and, therefore, mood-booster byEating Bird Foodis right up your alley! This one has a bit of a stronger flavor as expected, but it’s one of my favorite flavored water recipes!
14.Rosemary Raspberry Recovery Booster Infused Water
Eating Bird Foodclearly loves to give us all a boost, and I love that she does! She actually has six fruit-infused water recipes that are boosting in different ways. This is number three on that list.
As I said earlier, berries are my favorite fruit, and since this recipe calls for raspberries, I think I’d have to say that this is my favorite out of the six!
15.Blueberry Basil Skin Booster Infused Water
Remember when I said thatEating Bird Food’sRosemary Raspberry Recovery Booster Infused Water (above) was my favorite of her fruit-infused water recipes because it calls for berries? Well, then I tried this recipe…and loved it!
Let’s just say it has to be a tie! So, grab your cup of blueberries, a few cups of water and let’s get drinking!
16.Cucumber Lemon Detox Booster Infused Water

Last but not least, this fruit infused water recipe byEating Bird Foodcomes in number six out of six. Lemon, lime, grapefruit, AND an immune booster all in one?! With the hint of flavor and all the benefits of fruit in this one, I love grabbing my mason jar to whip this up when I need a refresher without added sugar. It can’t get much better!
18.
This detox water of ours is actually my mom’s all-time favorite detox recipe. Come to think of it, it’s the only detox water I’ve ever seen her drink. The reason behind this is very simple: grapefruit. Lots of grapefruit and lots of flavor!

22.Strawberry Lemonade
I clearly can’t get enough of these healthy, fruit-infused lemonade recipes that use water as a main ingredient! This SkinnyMs fruit-infused water recipe is just like all of the other recipes on this list when it comes to promoting weight loss. In order to lose weight, you need to drink water–and lots of it!
Now, I know that not everyone likes water. Trust me, I’ve been dating my boyfriend for over five years and have still never seen him finish an entire bottle of water. He would much rather chug bottle after bottle of lemonade or iced tea. So, whenever I can, I make him either this lemonade recipe or any of the others on this list so that he can get some water into his body! Now, I don’t do this because I think he should lose weight. I do it because I want him to be healthy.
For those who are looking to lose weight, though, being healthy is key! Water is key! So, if you’re someone who doesn’t like plain water or just someone craving a nice, cold lemonade on a hot summer day, this strawberry-infused lemonade is right up your alley!
Try it: Strawberry Lemonade

27.Lemongrass Iced Green Tea
Iced tea is a huge summertime favorite and since tea is really just tea bag-infused water, I can include some iced tea recipes on this list, right?!
If you agree with me, then you’re going to LOVE this recipe byPickled Plum. The freshly sliced limes and lemons not only enhance the tea’s flavor. They also enhance how pretty the pitcher looks. It’s the perfect drink to put out during a summer barbecue or really any summer party!

The twist, once again, is that he gets to turn the water into iced tea with this recipe! Oh, and let’s not forget the peaches. He loves peaches. I love peaches.

My mom is, unfortunately, a soda lover. Yup, as much as I hate soda and how bad it is for our bodies, she just loves it! After years of trying to get her to stop drinking it, I finally found something that works: fruit-infused sparkling water.
This SkinnyMs recipe is one of her favorites! I remember the first time I made it for her. We were in her kitchen, trying to get appetizers together for my little brother’s birthday party, which we were holding in the backyard. It was August, and it was HOT. She reached into the fridge, and I cringed when her hand came out with a bottle of Diet co*ke in it.
“Wait, Mom, I’ve got a drink for you to try. Put that back!” I demanded.
She sighed and did as I said. I whipped this recipe up in five minutes and in just five minutes, she was pouring herself another glass!
