Equipment

  • 1 High speed blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fruit chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • In a blender, add fresh fruit, water and lime juice. Blend on smoothie mode.
  • Add sweetener to taste. You may want to try it before adding sweetener and see if the natural sweetness is enough. If your drink needs sweetener, start with just a teaspoon and go up to a tablespoon if needed. 
  • Pour into cups with ice and serve immediately. 

Notes

Mix your favorite flavors. My personal favorites are pineapple with mint and watermelon with mint and extra lime. 
Make a pitcher drink by doubling this recipe. I love to make several flavors to serve at a party or gathering.
Leaving the pulp in this drink is healthy and tasty. It is not necessary to strain Agua Fresca as the natural fiber is a key element of what makes this drink special. If you prefer to strain your drink before enjoying, use a fine mesh sieve to do so.
