There are some days I struggle with getting all of my water in, but I love to eat ice! So, I bought a ice crusher that turns cubes into snow cones. I add a bit of water and voila! A water flavored slushy. Yummy, cool, and 100% H2O!
MORE INFORMATION:
Don't chew whole ice cubes- you can crack, chip, and damage your teeth.

I bet this would be great with about a tablespoon of concentrated OJ or other juice. I found some cherry juice which I add to water. It's supposed to be good for arthritis. I bet it would be good poured over your slushy, too.

One of my friends and one of my sisters loved chewing on ice. They both ended up being severely deficient in iron or something. If you are a compulsive ice chewer/cruncher be sure you have a physical with blood test to rule out any medical concerns.
