All you need are 5 minutes and 4 ingredients, and this refreshing drink will be ready to enjoy!

My entire family is somewhat obsessed with coconut water. I started drinking it during my workouts to stay hydrated and keep my blood sugar up. Then my husband started doing the same, and soon after both of my kids joined in. Beats any sugary, artificially colored drinks out there, that’s for sure! But I thought it would be fun to spunk it up a little, especially now that summer is right around the corner. I’ve always loved the coconut-pineapple combination. With a little hint of lime and a touch of agave (which you can substitute with your favorite sweetener or omit all together by the way), this drink is super refreshing and the perfect thirst quencher to keep you energized this summer.

Ingredients

Units

1/2 fresh pineapple (core removed and diced)
3 cups coconut water

1 tbsp agave (or to taste. You can also use your favorite sweetener here)
1 pint frozen blackberries (optional)

Instructions

Puree pineapple in the blender until smooth.

We recommend using cold pineapple and coconut water if you’re planning on enjoying this drink without chilling it first. The frozen blackberries act as ice cubes that add color and flavor to the agua fresca without watering it down

We are two sisters born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, with Sephardic and Middle Eastern roots. We grew up eating the best, most flavorful, comforting home-cooked meals prepared by our mom, who taught us everything we know about cooking. When we moved here to the U.S. we felt it was really important to keep our traditions and background alive, and we've done so by sharing it with everyone we've met throughout the years. After all, what better way to make new friends and share our love and culture than through food, right? Our friends have come to enjoy our food and gatherings so much that are always asking us for our recipes. That inspired us to start a cooking blog called "May I have that recipe" where we share recipes we've created inspired by our multicultural background.
