Equipment
- Vitamix Blender
- Glass Milk Bottles
Ingredients
- 2 lime squeezed
- 6 cherries pitted
- ¼ c watermelon
- 2 tsp honey optional
- 20 ounces coconut water
Instructions
- Squeeze the limes and measure out the pitted cherries, watermelon, and honey into a blender or food processor. 2 lime, 6 cherries, 1/4 c watermelon, 2 tsp honey
- Blend well–the cherry skin never seems to blend nicely, so I always leave this in the blender for a minute or so.
- While your juice is blending, get 2 10 ounce portions of your favorite coconut water ready in bottles (the ones I use are here), mason jars, or other containers. 20 ounces coconut water
- This recipe yields two drinks, so the juice you've just made needs to be divided in half between the two jars. This recipe makes two 12 ounce natural sports drinks.
- Shake well and store in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze either the juice by itself (I'd separate it into 2 ounce portions before freezinor the entire drink.
