2 Healthy Drinks for Hot Summer Days

Posted by Marie-Eve Maitland on 17th May 2022

Summer is slowly showing it's face and with that all manners of sweet drinks and cocktails. I love a cocktail, especially in the sun but if you are limiting your alcohol intake (or simply would rather not drink) and/or if you don't want to add too much sugar to your diet (because let's face, the majority of fruit cocktails/mocktails contain high levels of sugar) then here is the solution.

I decided to add coconut water and chose Laird Superfood Coconut Water, but you can use any good quality coconut water. Laird Hydrate Coconut Water Water + Aquamin use freeze-dried coconut water. Freeze drying coconut water preserves flavor and nutrients like potassium and other electrolytes. They have added Aquamin TM, a natural multi-mineral complex made up of magnesium citrate and trace minerals in varying amounts. Aquamin Magnesium is derived from seawater, and it is an excellent source of magnesium.


Strawberry & Mint Cooler

  • 2 tablespoons Laird Coconut Water + 400ml of water*
  • 12 organic strawberries
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 10 mint leaves
  • 6 ice cubes**
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons Erythritol

*If using fresh coconut water, use 400ml

**You can add the ice to your blender to make a thicker drink or add it at the end.

Directions: Add the ingredients to your blender (with or without the ice) and serve immediately in 2 frosted glass.
