We try not to drink very much juice especially with the news of lead in so many these days. Plus they are full of sugar. Why not just eat the fruit whole and drink a glass of water?
Well, sometimes it is nice to have a fruity (non-alcoholic) beverage when digits soar. While we were vacationing in Merida, Mexico we were offered a variety of aqua frescas every morning with breakfast instead of juice. More fiber, more nutrients, more flavor, more to smile about!
The strawberries are abundantly inexpensive at the farmers market these days so this makes a dent in the huge stash in the fridge. Next up: strawberry ice cream?
Strawberry Aqua Fresca:
2 cups water
juice of one lime
splash of agave nectar
one green basket of strawberries (pint?)
blend together until smooth and chill
**You can do this with any fruit. Cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon remind me of vacation.
