Low FODMAP Chilled Strawberry Lime Infused Water
Staying properly hydrated can feel surprisingly tricky when so many flavored drinks and store-bought waters sneak in high-fructose additives or fruit concentrates that can trigger symptoms. This pitcher keeps things beautifully simple — just fresh strawberries, lime rounds, cold water, and time in the fridge. The key is keeping the strawberry quantity in check: Monash research sets a clear threshold, and this recipe is built right around it, so you get that gorgeous blush color and sweet-tart flavor without overdoing the fructose load. After at least two hours of chilling, the water turns lightly pink and smells like a summer afternoon, which makes it genuinely hard to resist. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks like something from a spa menu — but you made it at home in about five minutes of actual effort. It serves four, so it's just as perfect for a quiet afternoon as it is for a casual gathering where everyone can feel good about what's in their glass.
