Mango Chia Seeds Milk Shake - Healthy and Nutritious, this shake is perfect to start your day lite and healthy. Milk shakes are always favorite of kids, addition of Mango is like Cherry on top for all  - both kids and adult alike and Chia Seeds are my little secret to have max Health benefit too. I have added very less sugar in this shake. You can increase or skip sugar per your taste Or I suggest to add 1 tbsp of Agave Syrup instead. Also for vegan alternative, use Almond milk instead of regular low-fat milk.

Mango Chia Seeds Milk Shake

Cup Milk, Almond Milk or Low fat milk

mango

tbsp Chia Seeds, Soaked overnight in 1/2 cup water

tbsp Sugar, Optional

Soak Chia Seeds overnight in 1/2 cup water.

Combine 1 and 1/2 cup milk, sugar, mango in bowl or Jar

Blend all ingredients till mango is blended well in the milk. Add Chia seed soaked in milk and stir well to combine.

Pour in glasses and garnish with mango wedges to serve this healthy and yummy Mango Milk Shake

Watermelon Sangria

watermelon

(750-ml) bottle white wine,

c. white rum

c. seltzer

lime juice (from about 6 limes)

limes, thinly sliced

Is watermelon your favorite summer fruit?

Used Moscato and Bacardi Lime and was a total win!

This recipe was not clear as to how much watermelon to use. I found this out the hard way. I used all the watermelon and mixed with the listed ingredients. It came out much too weak. Had to add quite a bit more alcohol. I checked out several other recipes after the fact and all were more direct with the amount of watermelon to use.

Sparkling Lime Cucumber Drink Recipe

cucumber

lime juice

mint leaves

simple syrup (or other sweetener)

sparkling water

Place cucumber, lime juice, mint leaves and agave in a blender and process until well juiced.

Strain the liquid, pressing the juice from the solids and reserve the liquid.

Place ¼ cup cucumber liquid into glass, add ice cubes and top off with sparkling water.  Garnish with mint leaf.

This cucumber lemonade is a super refreshing addition to your Summer lemonade repertoire; it&#039;s packed with several health benefits from the cucumber juice, and it&#039;s easy to prepare!

How to Make Cucumber Lemonade / Limeade

cucumbers

lime

Tbsp simple syrup

mint

ice cubes

Prepare the simple syrup if you&#039;re using one.

Juice the cucumber using one of these three methods (juicer, blender, or grater).

Prepare the lime juice. If you plan on garnishing the glasses, you can optionally zest one (or more) of the limes first, then juice the limes either using a citrus press or by hand. If doing it by hand, it can be a good idea to roll it on the counter a few times to loosen the juice and even pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. This will make it easier to squeeze out all the juice manually.You can zest all the citrus and save the zest in the freezer to use later within baked goods, compound butter, infused oil, cooking, etc.

To prepare the mint, you can roughly chop it or chop it into ribbons, as I did. To do so, I rolled the leaves up and use scissors (though a knife would also work) to slice them into ribbons.You can slightly muddle the herbs to make them release their flavor even more.

Add all the ingredients to a large jug/pitcher - the cucumber juice, citrus juice (I add the pulp as well), syrup, and mint, and stir well. Optionally top up with ice before serving! Feel free to add a few extra cucumber slices to the glass/ pitcher too.

Ready to enjoy! To decorate glasses, dip the rim of each glass into some honey or another sticky syrup, then some coconut and lemon/lime zest. Add some cucumber lemonade to each glass and serve – enjoy!

Cucumber lemonade is best consumed within 1-2 days for the freshest flavor. Especially as there are fresh herbs used. If serving over two days, it may be an idea to strain the mint and add fresh mint on the second day.To avoid watering down the entire batch, add ice-cubes to any glasses when serving rather than to the whole pitcher. You can also use frozen berries instead of ice to help chill the cucumber lemonade.

Cucumber Agua Fresca Step 3

This is so refreshing and easy! Added ice directly in Vitamix and didn't need to strain. I'm also a fan of bitter.  Thanks for this summer recipe.

Delicious! Great drink to have by the pool! I made the recipe with mint and put some sliced cucumbers in the glass with plenty of ice! It tastes the best when the ice melts some. Super refreshing!

Making these this weekend.... with a bit of rum or tequila as my baby makin days are over. 😉☀️🍹 

Congrats on your pregnancy!!

I have been looking for a summer drink.  It's been so hot this month and I don't feel like eating as much, so this is perfect!  Its so refreshing and hydrating and delicious.  Thank you for sharing.

I was skeptical, but Oh. My!  It is so good!  I could absolutely drink a pitcher myself, just as it is!
(Also taste tested with spirits for those not pregnant and this drink favors vodka over tequila)

This is so refreshing and the perfect summer drink! I tried the mint and ginger variation and it was delish. This will be made again many times.

This was SO good. Really loved the slight bitterness from the lime peel. It was a little too sweet for my tastes - I'll prob cut the white sugar in half next time. I also love adding a teaspoon of chia seeds to a glass of agua fresca right before serving.

Gulp of Yum!  Can’t imagine a more refreshing summer beverage! We did peel our cukes and limes. Enjoy!

I just made this using some extra large cucumbers from my garden that I didn't know what to do with. I used a combination of mint and basil and I substituted a lemon for one of the limes because that's what I had. It turned out FANTASTIC! The perfect summer "sip all day" drink. Can't wait to try some different flavor combinations.

I love how low calorie this drink is. I know my crew would love one of these after a hot shift in the sun. It just looks so refreshing! Thanks for sharing and I'll definitely be giving it a try :)

This is very healthy drink for Summer. It refreshes our mind. It keeps our body hydrated.

Drinking this right now and it’s soooo good! Perfect for blazing hot Georgia summers. I didn’t have lime so I used lemon. Works great. I’ll also note that it blended up totally fine in my very old magic bullet, so you can use any blender and make it happen!

Pregnant with twins and trying to stay hydrated. This is delicious!!

This recipe is great! I have been looking for mocktail ideas to have during the week and this hits the spot. I like the recipe as is, but I may try reducing the sugar next time. I also love it topped with sparkling water for even more of a mocktail feel!

I just made it with ginger. It’s so refreshing!

Tangy and refreshing, simple. Summer in a glass. The best elderflower cordial recipe!

Easy Elderflower Cordial

elderflower heads (large (use double if small))

lemons (sliced)

citric acid

½ litres water

Check elderflowers for dirt and little insects - don&#x27;t wash!

Add elderflowers, lemon slices and citric acid to the water in a big pan. (The only ingredient not yet going in is the sugar)

Heat up to boiling point, stirring occasionally, remove from heat, cover and let infuse overnight, or for at least four hours.

Strain the liquid through a muslin cloth, to catch all the flowers. Squeeze all that yummy flavour out of the pulp in the muslin!

Return liquid to the pan and add the sugar.

Bring to boil again, stirring frequently to dissolve all the sugar, and simmer for 5 minutes.

In the meantime, sterilise some glass bottles (don&#x27;t forget about the lids!) with boiling water. If you are going to use a funnel or any other pouring aid, sterilise that, too.

Bottle up the finished cordial while it&#x27;s still boiling hot.

Depending on desired sweetness, dilute 1:5 to 1:10.

Best enjoyed with sparkling mineral water.

Optional: Squeeze in some fresh lemon for extra tanginess!

Happy Saturday and keep on drinking!

your article is very good. I can't wait to try it at home. Thank you for sharing the recipe with me. I'm waiting for your next article.

Love this Mint Lemonade recipe! Thank you for sharing this! I'll definitely make one at home since I'm all for anything healthy and green.

This is perfect lemonade. A+! Will be making as often as possible.

I usually don't like lemonade because it's too sweet. Given the challenge to make lemonade I searched for low sugar and found this delight! It was perfect. I can also confirm if you need an adult cocktail it tastes very very good with a shot of bourbon in the glass.

Its really good taste and affordable at home. Good tas

Love this recipe! Used to work at LPQ, the lemonade is made with a little orange juice, lemon juice, water and full sweetened with agave. Then fresh mint is muddled with hot water and topped with the lemonade! It’s so yummy!

How to make peach juice and peach nectar in a juicer or blender! It’s simple yet sweet, refreshing, and packed with flavor, perfect for summer!

How to Make Peach Juice (Peach Nectar)

peaches (more or less as wanted)

water (needed

lemon juice

Wash and slice the peaches into several segments, small enough to fit your juicer chute.

Simply feed the peaches through the chute and let the machine do all the work.

Juicer Method

Wash and slice the peaches in halves or quarters.

Transfer the fruit to your blender with the water and blend until smooth and juicy.If you don’t mind the thick consistency, you can enjoy the juice as is. Otherwise, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove the excess pulp.You can also follow this method by placing the peaches and water in a large jug and using an immersion blender. Though it won&#39;t be as smooth.

Blender Method

Follow either of the methods above to make the peach juice recipe. Then, add your sweetener of choice and the acid to taste.I recommend starting with just ½ tablespoon of sugar per cup of juice and a squeeze of lime (maybe ½-1 tsp). Then increase to taste.

How to Make Peach Nectar?

Store: this peach juice is best enjoyed immediately for optimal nutrients and freshness. However, you can store it in a covered bottle or jar in the fridge for 1-2 days. With the addition of sugar and an acid, which are natural preservatives, the peach nectar will usually last slightly longer (2-3 days). Just note that without the acid, peaches naturally oxidize. Freeze: you can freeze the peach juice either in an XL ice cube tray or within freezer-safe jars or Ziplock bags. I like to separate mine into single-cup portions. Freeze for 3 months. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before consuming or blend from frozen with a bit of liquid for a simple peach slushy.
