Low FODMAP Sparkling Kiwi Lime Infused Water
Bright, fizzy, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling infused water is the kind of drink that makes plain hydration feel like a treat. Thinly sliced kiwi and lime are gently pressed to release their juice, then left to steep in chilled sparkling water so every sip carries a clean, citrusy tang. A handful of fresh mint leaves takes it even further if you have them on hand. The whole thing comes together in minutes and serves four, making it an easy option for a light lunch spread, a warm afternoon, or any time you want something a little more special than tap water. Flavored drinks can be a sneaky source of gut trouble — commercial versions often hide high-FODMAP fruit juices or sweeteners in the ingredient list — but this one keeps things simple and transparent. Kiwi is portioned at half a fruit per serving, right in line with Monash guidance, so you get real fruit flavor without the digestive worry. It's the kind of recipe you'll come back to all summer long.

4 servings
- 2 medium kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced
Ingredient noteKiwi only becomes a problem on a low FODMAP diet in large amounts; this recipe works out to about 1/2 medium kiwi per serving, well within the range shown to be tolerated, so it is likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid kiwi, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 medium lime, thinly sliced
- 4 cups sparkling water, chilled
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 4–6 fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions

Add the kiwi slices and lime slices to a pitcher. If using mint leaves, add them now. Gently press the fruit with the back of a spoon 2–3 times to release some juice without fully mashing.

Pour the chilled sparkling water over the fruit and stir gently once to combine. Let the pitcher rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, until the water is lightly infused with kiwi and lime flavor.
