As the weather heats up, I have been craving nothing but fresh fruit in every form. Smoothies, thrown in my salads, on top of overnight oats, drinks and juices, you name it. Specifically, I can’t get enough melon and mango. They have totally stolen my heart…or belly I suppose is more accurate.
Throw in some mint and a little citrus and you have a delicious summer drink perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day. If you’re feel extra saucy, feel free to add some tequila or vodka if that’s you’re thing. I bet it’d be pretty delicious.
Watermelon Mango Refresher
2 cups chilled watermelon
1 cup frozen mango
1/4 cup lime juice
3-4 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
1 cup ice cubes
Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
*Note: If you have the time, make this a day ahead of serving. Blend together and throw it in the fridge or freezer overnight. If you choose to freeze it, run it through the blender one more time before serving to break up the ice. This drink taste so much better once the ingredients have some time to meld together – the mint especially comes out the longer it sits!
Here’s to summer nights!
