Share on TwitterAnyone who knows me well knows that my FAVORITE summertime juice combo is ripe strawberries pureed with sweet watermelon.
As it's been very warm/hot in Toronto lately, I've only craved this more. Usually you'd find me making some sweetened tapioca pearls with this, but since my last venture out west introduced me to aloe vera "jelly" (sweetened bits of aloe vera) - less sweet than those sweetened coconut "jellies" - that tasted more refreshing and healthier, I went with this combo.
To make this drink combo, just puree the fresh fruits and add enough sugar syrup to sweeten it up. Scoop a generous portion (depending on how much you like) of sweetened tapioca pearls or fruit jellies into the empty glass before pouring in your juice. Enjoy.
I like this even better when I've halved the strawberries and send them in the freezer for a bit to make them strawberry ice cubes. When I puree the watermelon juice and add the frozen fresh berries, I get a thicker drink, that's not watered down, with the occasional small bit of frozen strawberry. It's super refreshing and tasty!
