Watermelon Agua Fresca Smoothie

By bns0607

Traditionally, authentic agua frescas are made without blenders by simply mashing fruit with a fork or masher before adding water. We've taken the liberty of using a blender for an ultra-light, refreshing rendition of this traditional Mexican drink. In the spring and summer, we use fresh strawberries and a few ice cubes in lieu of the frozen ones for ultimate freshness.

Ingredients

• 3 cups diced seeded watermelon , chilled
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of sea salt
• Agave nectar (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the watermelon, strawberries, lemon juice, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Sweeten with agave nectar, if you like.
