Description

Are you looking for a refreshing summer drink with far less sugar than traditional lemonade? Then give my Watermelon Agua Fresca a try. The natural sweetness of the fruit means you don’t need a lot of added sugar! Even though watermelon has a naturally sweet taste, it is only 46 calories per cup. Did you also know that watermelon has even more cancer-fighting lycopene than tomatoes?

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cubed Seedless Watermelon
  • 1 cup Sliced Strawberries
  • 48 ounces, fluid Cold Water, Divided
  • 1 teaspoon Agave Nectar
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Mint
