This blended and strained drink is bright, refreshing, and genuinely beautiful in a glass — the kind of thing that looks like it came from a fancy café but takes only minutes to pull together at home. Fresh blueberries are blended with cold water, a squeeze of lemon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, then strained smooth for a clean, jewel-toned sip that's naturally sweet without being cloying. One thing worth noting: blueberry portions matter here for keeping things gut-friendly, and the recipe lands right at the Monash threshold of one-quarter cup per serving — so if you're being extra cautious, pulling back to one cup of blueberries total across the four servings keeps you well within the safe zone. The maple syrup sweetener is a smart swap, sitting comfortably within low-FODMAP limits at just half a tablespoon per glass. Straining out the pulp and skins isn't just about texture — it gives the drink that silky, agua fresca quality that makes it feel like a real treat. Poured over ice with an optional lemon slice, it's the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. Makes four servings, so it's easy to batch ahead and keep cold in the fridge.

Combine the blueberries, cold water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30–45 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with the back of a spoon until only dry pulp and skins remain. Discard the solids.
