But what if you’re bored with water? After all, it has no real flavor and no calories. This guide explores some options to make staying hydrated easier when you’re tired of drinking plain water. Keep reading to learn more.
How Much Water Do You Need?
Here’s what the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends you drink every day:
- Men: 15.5 cups (3.7 liters or 0.9 gallons)
- Women: 11.5 cups (2.7 liters or 0.7 gallons)
Unless you’ve already been focusing on your hydration, that probably seems like a lot of water. But the good news is that it doesn’t all have to come from plain water.
Bored of Water? 3 Ways to Make Hydration Fun
1. Flavor Water with Fruits and Veggies

Here are some fruits that work well for this:
- Oranges
- Lemons
- Limes
- Cucumbers
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Fresh mint (chocolate mint is particularly tasty!)
This can also work in infusion water bottles, but we recommend making a large pitcher each night for the following day and keeping it in the fridge. You can also freeze the muddled fruits or veggies in an ice cube tray and add them to your water bottle before you leave home in the morning.
2. Make Herbal Tea
Fruit-flavored teas, herbal teas, and anything else that’s natural and caffeine-free will work for this, so if you don’t like the first one you use, try something different! Keep experimenting until you find a tasty tea that motivates you to drink more water.
3. Drink Sparkling Water
Start slow as you replace your water with sparkling water, as it can cause bloating and gas for some people. If you notice gas or bloating, this one might not be for you. Otherwise, slowly increase the amount of sparkling water as much as you’d like.
