Low FODMAP Vanilla Berry Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated gets a whole lot more enjoyable when your water looks this pretty and smells like a summer farmers market. Sliced strawberries, lightly crushed blueberries, and a split vanilla bean steep together in cold filtered water, slowly releasing a pale pink color and a delicate, floral sweetness that feels genuinely refreshing. Both berries are used at portions carefully sized to stay within Monash-tested thresholds, so you can sip confidently without second-guessing your gut. The technique is simple — a gentle press on a few blueberries to break the skin, a long chill in the fridge, and the water does the rest. After two hours you have something that tastes like it came from a spa, and after eight hours the vanilla fragrance deepens into something almost dreamy. It makes four generous servings and keeps giving all day, since the fruit and vanilla bean stay right in the pitcher for easy refills. A sprig of fresh mint over ice is the finishing touch that makes this feel like a real treat rather than just a glass of water.
