It is HOT here in California. So far this summer has been much warmer than last year. We have been spending a lot of time outdoors – in our yard, at the park, at the local splash pad and we’ve got a beach trip coming up this weekend. Sometimes I feel like my kids aren’t hydrated enough, and I’ve been working on making sure that they get enough to drink. Today I’m sharing a recipe that my kids can’t get enough of, a strawberry mango agua fresca. It’s light, refreshing and will keep you hydrated all summer long!

What is agua fresca?

If you haven’t tried agua fresca before, it’s a drink where fresh fruit is blended with water and sugar to make a delicious and refreshing treat. When I was younger my parents would take me to this Mexican restaurant nearby where they always ran a special burrito and drink combo meal. They would have giant jugs of homemade agua fresca and the flavors changed all the time – I would get my burrito and pick my flavor of agua fresca.

That restaurant went out of business a while ago but ever since then I’ve loved agua fresca. I decided to introduce my kids to this fun drink, but with a little twist. Instead of blending my fruit with plain water, I used tropical citrus flavored vitaminwater. If you don’t have vitaminwater on hand, simply use regular water.

I combined tropical citrus vitaminwater, strawberries, mango, lime juice and honey in a blender and pureed it all together. That’s about it for this strawberry mango agua fresca!

I used fresh ripe mango and strawberries but you could use frozen if need be, if you do you’ll probably need to increase the amount of honey in the recipe. For fun, I also made ice cubes with my tropical citrus vitaminwater and added fresh strawberries and small mint leaves. That way when the ice cubes melt, it won’t water down the flavor of the drink.

To make this strawberry mango agua fresca drink even more special I decorated the glasses by dipping the rims in water and then in sugar – my girls had never seen that before and they thought it was pretty much the coolest thing ever!

If you’re looking to stay hydrated this summer, have a strawberry mango agua fresca. It’ll help keep you cool and refreshed and those super hot summer days will be much more tolerable! I’m making a jug of this drink to take with us to the beach this weekend. What’s your favorite beach drink?

      I’m planning on making it for Easter, would using frozen mangos as apposed to fresh be ok? The mangos in the stores are pretty green. I’ll be using fresh strawberries! Can’t wait to try!!!
