Summertime Aguas Frescas

These agua frescas are incredibly refreshing, unfiltered fruit juices that are perfect for summertime. For best results, use a high-powered blender, like a Vitamix.

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients per serving, multiply as necessary

• 1 cup roughly chopped fruit (I recommend hulled strawberries, peeled cucumber, cantaloupe or pineapple)
• 1 cup water
• ½ medium lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon pure cane sugar or agave nectar or sweetener or choice (if your fruit is perfectly ripe and sweet, you may not need any sweetener at all)
• Optional: 2 large mint leaves (perfect with cucumber)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In your blender container, combine the fruit, water, lime juice, sweetener and optional mint leaves. Purée until smooth using the smoothie feature. Taste and, if necessary, add more lime and/or sweetener, then blend briefly again. Serve immediately, over ice.
