Watermelon Berry Slushie

August 6, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

We were just at the farmer’s market this morning and the watermelons were HUGE! It’s definitely time you tried by Watermelon Berry Slushie before summer produce is out of season. It couldn’t be simpler to make either especially if you wash your fruit when you purchase it. Then, you can just get up in the morning or come home from the gym and fire up the blender.

Why pay for a blender drink from a smoothie bar when you can make this at home and benefit from having leftover melon in the fridge? If you’re not sure what to do with leftover melon, check out my recipes for Watermelon Blueberry Feta Salad with Mint. It’s gorgeous-looking (great to take to a summer potluck) and it’s easy on the waistline.

This cold slushie includes tastes of the season with ripe watermelon and berries. It's like a hug in a glass.

Berry Beach Blast

July 25, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Raise your hand if you wish you were on a sandy beach right now.

Me too!

Sometimes we can’t always escape to the beach to watch the crash of the waves and swarming seagulls overhead. There are bills to pay, children to feed, and a to-do list to accomplish on the weekends. But, I’ve got the next best thing just for you: Berry Beach Blast cocktail.

Okay, you’re right. It’s not just like sitting on the beach, but humor me for a second. Once you take a couple sips of this all natural cocktail made with coconut and lime juices and ripe strawberries, you may just mentally escape during happy hour.

Oh, and coconut water has numerous healthy benefits. According to lifehacks.org, it is rich in nutrients and reduces your blood pressure. You can buy it at any grocery store but you’ll probably find it in the organic section. If you’re not sure which brand to buy, check out this ranking list of the Top 7 Coconut Water Brands by the Thrillest.

This summer cocktail takes ten minutes to make and delivers real tropical flavor. Be sure to comment below and tell me what you think of it or tag OneDelightfulLife on Instagram. 

I can hear those ocean waves crashing now. 🙂

Cue the Jimmy Buffet.

I love that red gingham antique metal tray in the photo. I bought it at The Vintage Rhinestone, a super cute store stocked to full of household treasures.
