Blueberry Aqua Fresca
By Winy Chen, Registered Dietitian at Beach Cities Health District
To keep my family cool and hydrated throughout the hot months, I often make aqua fresca rather than artificial fruit punch. Nothing beats the power of a simple, nutritious and beautifully refreshing drink on a hot July day.
Hope you enjoy!
