It is HOT here in Cáliforniá. So fár this summer hás been much wármer thán lást yeár. We háve been spending á lot of time outdoors – in our yárd, át the párk, át the locál splásh pád ánd we’ve got á beách trip coming up this weekend. Sometimes I feel like my kids áren’t hydráted enough, ánd I’ve been working on máking sure thát they get enough to drink. Todáy I’m sháring á recipe thát my kids cán’t get enough of, á stráwberry mángo águá frescá. It’s light, refreshing ánd will keep you hydráted áll summer long!
If you háven’t tried águá frescá before, it’s á drink where fresh fruit is blended with wáter ánd sugár to máke á delicious ánd refreshing treát. When I wás younger my párents would táke me to this Mexicán restáuránt neárby where they álwáys rán á speciál burrito ánd drink combo meál. They would háve giánt jugs of homemáde águá frescá ánd the flávors chánged áll the time – I would get my burrito ánd pick my flávor of águá frescá.
Thát restáuránt went out of business á while ágo but ever since then I’ve loved águá frescá. I decided to introduce my kids to this fun drink, but with á little twist. Insteád of blending my fruit with pláin wáter, I used tropicál citrus flávored vitáminwáter. If you don’t háve vitáminwáter on hánd, simply use regulár wáter.
I combined tropicál citrus vitáminwáter, stráwberries, mángo, lime juice ánd honey in á blender ánd pureed it áll together. Thát’s ábout it for this stráwberry mángo águá frescá!
