Cheers the the first month of summer!
Warmer weather always has me craving even more fresh produce like strawberries, cucumbers and celery.
Produce is primarily made up of water (about 80-90 %) so it’s another way to keep hydrated during those warmer months.
Another delicious and refreshing way to stay hydrated are aqua frescas!
This celery lime aqua fresca is super refreshing, not too sweet and even has added electrolytes from coconut water which is important to replenish when you are outside all day.
Did you catch my Good Food Friday segment last week? I shared these on air and they were a hit! Watch the segment on abcnews4.com for more unique ways to incorporate fruits and veggies in honor of National Fresh Fruit and Veggie Month
The star of this beverage is CELERY.
Yes, celery! Besides adding it to salad and dipping into nut butter, they also make a super refreshing addition to beverages. I used Dandy’s fresh-cut celery which is truly the sweetest, crispiest celery with the fewest strings. They even have three PhD’s on staff who work with Mother Nature to make it tase this good.
If you make these, be sure to share with me on Insta!
