STRAWBERRY MANGO AGUA FRESCA

Please See Other Recipes

It is HOT here in California. So far this summer has been much warmer than last year. We have been spending a lot of time outdoors – in our yard, at the park, at the local splash pad and we’ve got a beach trip coming up this weekend. Sometimes I feel like my kids aren’t hydrated enough, and I’ve been working on making sure that they get enough to drink. Today I’m sharing a recipe that my kids can’t get enough of, a strawberry mango agua fresca. It’s light, refreshing and will keep you hydrated all summer long!

I used fresh ripe mango and strawberries but you could use frozen if need be, if you do you’ll probably need to increase the amount of honey in the recipe. For fun, I also made ice cubes with my tropical citrus vitaminwater and added fresh strawberries and small mint leaves. That way when the ice cubes melt, it won’t water down the flavor of the drink.

Ingredients

• For the drink
• 1 20 ounce bottle of tropical citrus vitaminwater
• 1 cup strawberries , cut into quarters
• 1 cup diced mango
• 1 tablespoon honey (or more to taste)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (or more to taste)
• Strawberries , mango slices, mint springs, lime wedges and coarse sugar for garnish (optional)
• For the ice cubes
• 3/4 cup tropical citrus vitaminwater
• 12 small mint leaves
• 12 small pieces of strawberry

Instructions

2. Combine the vitaminwater, strawberries, mango, lime juice and honey in the blender. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add more lime juice or honey if needed. Pour the drink through a a strainer, discard fruit pulp. Add vitaminwater ice cubes. Decorate the glasses with the fruit, lime wedges and mint springs. To create a sugar rim on your classes, dip the tops of the glasses in water and then into a bowl of sugar.
