Paleo Coconut Lime Agua Fresca
Bright, tangy, and impossibly refreshing, this coconut lime agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere warm with a breeze coming off the water. It comes together in minutes with just a blender and a strainer, making it one of the easiest things you can pour into a glass. Coconut water brings natural electrolytes and a subtle sweetness, while fresh lime juice cuts right through with that citrusy punch you want on a hot day. Maple syrup steps in as the sweetener here — no refined sugar, no corn syrup, just a clean drizzle that keeps everything in line with whole-food eating. A pinch of salt rounds out the flavors in a way that sounds small but makes a noticeable difference. Strain it into a pitcher, load up your glasses with ice, and finish with mint and lime slices if you want to make it look as good as it tastes. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge all week.
