Few drinks capture the feeling of a hot afternoon quite like a tall glass of something cold, fruity, and just a little tart. This blended and strained refresher leans on ripe strawberries, bright lime juice, and a touch of maple syrup to hit that perfect sweet-tart balance ā no refined sugar, no artificial anything. The straining step is what sets it apart from a smoothie, giving you a silky, jewel-red drink that looks as good as it tastes. Maple syrup stands in beautifully as the sweetener here, keeping the whole thing grain-free and in line with a whole-foods approach without sacrificing any of the flavor. A pinch of salt might seem unexpected, but it quietly amplifies every other ingredient in the glass. Poured over ice with a few lime slices, it's the kind of drink that disappears fast and gets requested again immediately.

Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer in batches, pressing gently on the solids with the back of a spoon until only dry pulp remains. Discard the pulp.
