Notes
Consume within 48 hours for optimal freshness/flavor. Thawed frozen blueberries can be used to substitute for fresh blueberries. Blueberry Agua Fresca is a refreshing, hydrating beverage made with antioxidant-rich blueberries, potassium-packed coconut water, and a bright squeeze of lime. Blueberries provide beneficial vitamins and polyphenols that support overall health. A touch of maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but you can easily reduce the amount if watching sugar intake—especially when using ripe, in-season berries that are naturally sweeter. This makes it a light, flavorful option for staying hydrated without excess added sugar.
