Fruit Filled Ice Cubes make you look like the entertaining queen. They also help you drink more water!
I’m always looking for ways to make drinking water more appealing. I never used to have that problem, but it seems like it’s a constant battle, always reminding myself to fill my water cup.
Fruit Filled Ice Cubes with Mint
With the abundance of berries this time of year and my flourishing mint plant, I decided to try the latest craze of freezing Fruit Filled Ice Cubes with a hint of mint. If anything, I may think it’s a Mojito! I love mojitos!
How To Make Fruit Filled Ice Cubes
Since my refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, I went out a bought a bigger ice tray than I have for when I make my yogurt cubes for smoothies.
Gather and rinse the fruit you want to add. I happened to have blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. I also picked a sprig of mint, washed it and plucked the leaves off.
I tucked a variety in each section. Truth be told…… mine were a little overfilled. I’ll show you what to avoid later.
But I had to have a variety of color….. had to!
Fill each section with water trying to cover all the fruit. Place it in your freezer and in about 3 hours, you’ll have the most gorgeous ice cubes you’ve ever seen. You’ll suddenly want to drink water all day long!
Remember when I said to make sure your fruit is submerged?
This is why. Those beautiful blueberries, if not fully covered with water, will end up looking like the Loch ness monster. 
I still kept mine, because they’ll still taste fine and once in the water, they’ll look ok. But if you’re serving to guests…… save these for yourself or throw out.
Add a few ice cubes to your glass and fill it up with either filtered water, tap water, sparkling water…… whatever kind you prefer. For fun, add a cute and colorful paper straw.
I’m going to try limes and lemons next and add them to my Brazilian Lemonade.
I like to fill my glass with these ice cubes, sparkling water and a few drops of Lemon Drop Stevia! I pick mine up at New Seasons or Whole Foods. You can also order it here.(affiliate link)
Stevia is a natural sweetener that is sugar free and doesn’t spike your blood sugar. I also have the vanilla cream drops, and oh my goodness! If you like cream soda….. then try the vanilla drops with sparkling water. I’m not much of a soda drinker, but I do occasionally crave carbonation. This does the trick.
My daily routine is a squeeze a lemon into filtered water, fill with ice cubes and add a few drops of the lemon stevia. Makes it easy to drinks a lot more water!
I prefer this brand of drops. I’ve tried another brand in an apricot flavor and it just tasted like I was drinking perfume, kind of like when I’m drinking anything cherry flavored…..taste like cough syrup to me.
But Sweet Drops have many many flavors. I have only tried the Vanilla Cream and the Lemon Drop. But they have Coconut, Chocolate, Hazelnut, Valencia, Berry, etc… See all the flavors here. (affiliate link)

Haha Loch Ness blueberries! We just got a ton of fruit from the farmers market, so I’ll be doing this today. I drink so much water every day that it gets a little boring, and this will definitely mix things up!
