PasGo recommends 5 natural, cooling beverages that are simple to make and packed with essential vitamins for your health.
Summer's scorching heat can leave you feeling exhausted and dehydrated, but if plain water doesn't excite you, then herbal teas and fruit-infused waters are the perfect solution. These 5 teas and fruit juices are not only delicious but also effectively cool your body down, earning them the title of 'everyone's favorite drinks'.
1. Fruit Smoothie
In the summertime, smoothies and fruit juices are often the go-to for their simplicity in making yet delicious, visually appealing, and highly nutritious outcomes. It's no wonder they top the list of most favored beverages.
Ingredients for making fruit smoothie:
- Fruits: watermelon, dragon fruit, avocado, mango, passion fruit, or any of your favorites.
- Fresh milk or condensed milk
- Shaved ice
How to make fruit smoothie:
- Clean and peel the fruits, remove seeds if necessary (for fruits like passion fruit, just wash them thoroughly). Cut the fruits into small pieces for easy blending.
- Put one or more types of fruits into the blender. Add shaved ice and fresh milk/condensed milk for a smooth blend. Add more water if the mixture is too thick.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a glass, garnish with a few sprigs of mint.
Note:
- If you choose fruits with many small seeds, you can strain the blended fruit through a fine sieve to remove the seeds and fiber...
- You can blend a single type of fruit or mix various fruits and even greens and herbs to enhance flavor and nutrition. For example: orange and banana smoothie, mango with lime juice, green apple with pineapple, cucumber, and coriander smoothie.
