This recipe is featured in a four-part series about creating healthier eating habits. Agua frescas are often strained, but they don’t have to be. The fiber-rich pulp from the cucumber and pineapple in this refreshing drink will slow down the absorption of its modest amount of sweetener. Be sure to give the agua fresca a stir before drinking.



Preparation

Step 1
In a blender, purée the cucumber, pineapple, lime juice and mint with 4 cups cold water. Taste; if it’s flat or you want more sweetness, add a tablespoon of sugar at a time until you are happy with the balance.

Step 2
Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours, though it’s best within the first few hours). Stir well and serve over ice.

1. Thanks for this, Celerity!

I saw this within the third part of that Times series…I was particularly checking out the aspect of alcohol intake (upcoming surgery, so I’m now abstaining for the first time ever.)

These look great.
