Agua fresca is like a slush with WATERMELON and lime juice to which you can add chocolate, either solid or melted using a double boiler or microwave.
Clearly, it cannot be defined as a recipe but a pleasant treat, especially for a cool afternoon break or a dessert.
Agua fresca is a typical street food from Central America and Mexico, and in simple terms, as I mentioned before, it’s a mixture of water and fruit with ice, and also with added sweetener.

Preparation AGUA FRESCA RECIPE
Slice the baby watermelon into slices and then into wedges, remove the rind and any seeds.
Blend the watermelon with the sugar (I didn’t add it) and the filtered juice using a fine mesh sieve. The result should be fine and homogeneous.
Put this smoothie in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
When ready to serve, pour it into well-chilled glasses and garnish with mint leaves that have been washed and gently patted dry with appropriate paper.
If you want a more indulgent agua fresca, add chocolate sauce made by melting chocolate using a double boiler with a couple of tablespoons of water.
Refreshing and definitely cooling, here’s the recipe for agua fresca I made with watermelon and lime!
Enjoy your meal!

Tips and notes
We are in summer, or rather, a very hot summer, and it’s definitely the best time to make huge glasses of fruit-flavored water, to prepare slushies and everything that helps to cool our overheated bodies. It’s also the best season to make excellent centrifuges since we have plenty of fruit and vegetables to choose from at the supermarket.
If you want more information on what foods to consume for a draining diet, you can read this article with some useful information, but clearly, if you have various issues and/or need to lose a lot of weight, first of all, you should consult your trusted doctor who will refer you to a dietitian and/or nutritionist. Make sure to rely on the best specialists, don’t improvise with strict diets or follow convoluted eating plans that will lead to nothing but sadness and depression for unattained goals!
