Hi Friends!
Yesterday after going on a long Photo Walk, I decided to make myself a little treat when I got home.
I’m trying to reduce the amount of alcohol I drink as the next step in improving my food and every day health, which means I have been experimenting with some fun alternative drink options! Don’t get me wrong, I will always have a love affair with Vino 🍷, but mixing up little “mocktails” can be super fun too!
The Recipe
- 6-8 frozen strawberries
- Juice of half a lime
- Monk fruit to taste (or your favorite sweetener)
- Lime laCroix (or other sparking water)
I first start by blending up the strawberries, lime juice and some water until I get a thick strawberry purée.
Next, I pour it into my fancy glass of choice, and then top with Lacroix and stir. I’m not necessarily going for a blended consistency, but more of a child, bubbly, fruity drink.
I next drop in Monk fruit and stir to taste. For those that are curious, Monk fruit is a natural, sugar-free sweetener. It is less processed and doesn’t have a strong aftertaste like Stevia. If you would prefer to use honey, coconut sugar, or a different sweetener, then add it in during the blending process. I just try to keep my sugar intake low, which is why I prefer Monk fruit!
There you have it! A super easy, quick, and beautiful summer beverage. If you were feeling fancy, you could definitely garnish with a lime wedge, mint leaves, a small fresh strawberry, or any other garnish of your choice!
Hmmm this looms very cold and read. 😋😋 I must try make it when here go soon very warm also 👌🌟
