Lemonade with fresh cherries
The lovely pink hue and light flavour of this thirst-quenching pink lemonade recipe comes from fresh cherries. To make this healthy lemonade recipe into a delightful summer cocktail, add a touch of vodka, whiskey, or rum.

Smoothie with Fruit and Yogurt
Only three ingredients are needed for this simple fruit smoothie with yoghurt recipe: yoghurt, fruit juice, and whatever frozen fruit you have on hand. Change vary your choices every day for a healthy breakfast or snack that you’ll never try of.
Frozen Whipped Lemonade
Whipped frozen lemonade is a delicious delicacy that combines the creaminess of a milkshake with the thirst-quenching tanginess of freshly squeezed lemonade. And all you need are four ingredients and a blender to make this refreshing frozen lemonade. Light coconut milk or refrigerated coconut milk can be substituted for full-fat coconut milk, but the outcome will be less thick and creamy.

On a hot summer day, these limeade slushies are a terrific thirst quencher. They take about 10 minutes to make and deliver the right balance of sweet and sour.
Smoothie Tropical
A simple and delicious on-the-go breakfast or snack made with a variety of tropical fruit tastes (pineapple, mango, banana), yoghurt, and carrot juice.
Strawberry Lime Drink
Make a lovely, ice cooler with coconut water, strawberries, and lime to cool off. It only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Limeade with Raspberry
By pressing the raspberries through a fine-mesh sieve, all of the juice will be extracted while the seeds will be left behind. If you wish to make it ahead of time, wait until the last minute to add the seltzer.
Mango Berry Slush
This slushy drink recipe is sweetened with berry-flavoured carbonated water and fresh summer fruits rather than sugar.
Breakfast Smoothie with Creamsicle
Though it tastes like the classic vanilla-and-orange popsicles, this creamsicle breakfast smoothie provides a well-balanced breakfast with carbohydrates, protein, and important electrolytes from the coconut water. Every cup of coconut water has more than 10% of your daily potassium intake, an electrolyte lost through perspiration, making it an excellent hydrator for light workouts. Plus, this creamy orange-mango smoothie has only approximately 30 mg of sodium per cup, compared to about 110 mg of salt in sports drinks.
Smoothie with PB&J but no banana
Because of the tofu and peanut butter in this recipe, this quick and easy diabetic-friendly smoothie is low-sugar and includes 11 grammes of protein per cup.
Infused Water with Strawberry, Basil, and Lime
With delightful fruity spa water, you can meet your daily hydration goals. Adding sliced fruit and torn herbs to still or sparkling water is a simple way to enhance taste without adding calories. It’s also a lovely drink to serve during showers or celebrations.
Soda made with grapes
For this sweet and tangy sparkling cocktail, make your grape juice by pureeing and filtering fresh grapes. If your grapes are particularly sweet, you may not require the entire amount of honey. As you go, keep tasting. Freeze extra whole grapes ahead of time and float them in the drink with the ice cubes for a special surprise.
Cucumber Watermelon Seltzer, Basil
A summer drink with watermelon, cucumber, fresh basil, and lime juice that’s sophisticated enough for visitors. It only takes a few minutes to make the soda. Refrigerate the fruit concentrate, simple syrup, and seltzer water separately until ready to serve.
Milkshake with Cherry-Vanilla Beans
This cold cherry-vanilla milkshake is so thick that you’ll need a straw and a long spoon to eat it.
