TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this strawberry lemonade cooler.
- For Extra Chill: Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones to make the drink colder and thicker.
- Adjust Sweetness Naturally: By adding a teaspoon of maple syrup or a few drops of liquid stevia if needed.
- Enhance The Flavour: Fresh mint leaves or a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
- To Retain Maximum Nutrients: Avoid over-blending, as heat from blending may slightly degrade vitamin C.
- If Using A Regular Blender: Blend for an extra 30 seconds to ensure a smooth consistency.
VARIATIONS
- Boost Hydration: Add a pinch of Himalayan pink salt for a natural electrolyte balance.
- Increase Fibre: Blend in half a small peeled cucumber for added hydration and fibre.
- Make It A Smoothie: Add a handful of ice cubes or a few slices of banana for a thicker, creamier texture.
- Add A Tropical Twist: Blend with a few chunks of pineapple or mango for extra sweetness.
- Turn It Into A Mocktail: Mix with sparkling water and garnish with lemon slices for a fizzy, alcohol-free summer drink.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving, as natural separation may occur.
- Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend frozen cubes with additional coconut water when ready to drink.
- Batch Prep: To save time, prepare larger batches and store them in glass bottles in the fridge for up to 2 days.
