Oats Free Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Bright, tropical, and endlessly refreshing, this pineapple agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a vacation. Fresh pineapple gets blended with cold water, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of sugar before being strained into a pitcher of pure, golden goodness. The lime juice keeps everything tasting lively and balanced rather than cloying, while the pinch of salt quietly amplifies every sip. Because it's built entirely from whole fruit and pantry staples, there's zero need to scan labels or second-guess anything — it's naturally free of grains in every form. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of mint and it looks as impressive as anything you'd order at a restaurant. It's also easy to dial in to your own taste, so if you like it a little tarter or a little sweeter, a quick stir is all it takes.
