Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so, first things first—grocery trip! You’re gonna need:
– 2 cups fresh strawberries (and like, don’t skip this part—get ‘em ripe and juicy)
– 1 cup coconut water (I usually go for the plain stuff, but if you wanna get wild, some flavored coconut water could be fun!)
– 1/2 cup almond milk (or whatever milk you love; oat milk works too!)
– 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (sweetness is key, my friend)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (make sure it’s alcohol-free if that’s your thing)
– 1 cup ice cubes (obvi)
– Fresh mint leaves to make it all pretty (you know, for the ‘gram)

So you got all that? Cool, let’s roll!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so a little backstory here. I made this for the first time last summer when my friend Jess came over. We were just sitting on the patio, complaining about life, and I wanted to whip up something refreshing because, let’s be real, we were kinda melting in the heat. I mean, who thought sitting outside in July was a good idea? Anyway, I threw all these ingredients into the blender, and as soon as we tasted it, we just looked at each other like, “OMG, we need to make this for every hangout forever.” I think we ended up drinking like 3 glasses each and then my blender was basically begging for a break. 😂

Let’s just take a moment for this beauty.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen up! The secret sauce (literally) is blending it on high for a good minute before you add the ice. Like, you really want those strawberries and coconut water to become best friends in there. It’s all about that smoothness! You want it silky—not chunky. Trust me on this one.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skimp on the strawberries! If they’re not ripe enough, it’ll taste… meh.
2. Adjust the sweetness like you’re an artist. If it’s too tart, throw in a bit more honey. A little at a time though!
3. Ice cubes matter! Blend ‘em in at the end for that frothy, slushy vibe. Otherwise, it’s just a drink.
4. Garnish like you mean it. Mint on top makes it feel fancy, even if you’re just chilling in sweats at home. 😂

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so here’s the thing—this drink is best fresh. Like, don’t try to make it ahead of time and then stick it in the fridge. It’ll separate and look sad. But if you MUST, keep it in an airtight container for no more than a day. Just give it a quick blend again before serving.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

If you’re vibing with the tropical drink vibes, try making a Mango Lassi or a Pineapple Mint Spritzer. They’re both super easy and just as refreshing!
