Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 lemon or lime (juiced) 1/8 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 kiwi peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/8 cup pineapple roughly chopped
  • tiny drizzle of honey (less than 1/4 tsp) substitute with 1/8 tsp cane sugar if younger than one year old
  • 1/8 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt or other quality salt
  • 5 ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. First, gather all ingredients and equipment. Peel and roughly chop 1 kiwi and 1/8 cup of pineapple. Squeeze and juice 1/2 a lemon or lime.
  2. Next, combine all ingredients into pitcher of blender. Blend for approximately 45 seconds. Feel free to strain the kiwi seeds if they are a texture problem for your little one (I have never found it to be a problem).
  3. Lastly, enjoy! Remember this is to assist in preventing dehydration. Take small sips as needed. Leftovers will last one week in the refrigerator. This recipe makes an excellent popsicle. Freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • I do not recommend heating this recipe.
  • This is a very citrusy drink with loads of lemon-lime goodness and packed with vitamin C. If you do not like lemon and lime flavors, choose other low fructose fruits such as apricots, blackberries, honeydew, and watermelon (just to name a few).
