WHICH SPARKLING WATER TO USE:

If you’re new to drinking sparkling water…welcome!  Sparkling water is one of my favorite drinks to enjoy.  It’s simply sparkling water and natural flavors.  A couple of my favorite brands which are Whole30 approved are LaCroix and Buble.  There are a couple of off-brands of sparkling water that are simply carbonated water and natural flavoring, you’ll just have to read the ingredient list to be sure they don’t sneak forms of sugar into them.  

For this recipe, I use Watermelon flavored Buble (not sponsored) because what goes better with fresh watermelon than watermelon flavored sparkling water!!  But you can also use lime, lemon, strawberry, or whichever flavor you love (be creative and experiment!).
