Aguas frescas are a popular fruit beverage from Mexico. Naturally gluten free and completely refreshing, my children fell hard for this cool drink, taking bottles of it to the ball field yesterday.
You could also serve these for Father’s Day; they’d be a delicious, healthy and hydrating treat for Father’s Day brunch. Most aguas frescas drinks are packed with sugar, however, as you can see below, my recipe is completely au natural. Enjoy!
This was my first time making aguas frescas. Have you ever made them? If so, leave a comment and let us know your favorite aguas frescas recipe or concoction!

What about the seeds? Do you discard them before adding to blender?
Could anyone recommend a protein powder that is low on cholesteral? I have a heart issue and must watch my intake of all fats.
Thanks,
Lynda
Sun Warrior’s Warrior Blend Raw Protein (Plant Based) powder has no cholesterol and 1.4g of fat.
Any plant based protein powder will be cholesterol free. There are many of them to choose from. Several of them are sold in individual serving packets as well as in large containers, so you can try them out and see which one(s) you like the best. Egg white based protein powders are also cholesterol free.
I added milk and put in in my icecream maker! Delicious!
They are great when made from cucumber, honey dew or cantalope as well. :)
Oh yeah this looks delicious I’m definitely trying this.
Could someone please tell me how to make my own Ginger ale ?
I don’t drink alcohol and I can’t tolerate sugar, but I would
love to have something special for the holidays.
This was delicious! We added some frozen watermelon chunks to make it nice and cold instead of the ice. I also skipped the stevia because it was already sweet. We drank 1/2 a watermelon for snack time. Yum!
This is simple, amazing and delicious. No sweetener needed if the watermelon is good. Thanks Elana!
looks yuuummmyyy !!!!!!!!
