I traveled to Mexico for a yoga retreat several years ago with my girlfriend Elaine and I can to this day remember the taste and smell of this refreshing and delicious drink that greeted us upon arrival at the eco-resort. I loved it so much, it ended up having a permanent home in The Joyous Cookbook!
This Avocado Lime Refresher has been leveled up! What that means is that I adapted the recipe from my cookbook. How? I added collagen to this drink because I wanted to make it a skin-loving recipe too (see my discount code at the bottom).
Collagen has many research-proven skin-loving benefits such as increasing the hydration of your skin to helping your skin maintain a youthful appearance.
There are many more benefits of collagen I talk about in this video where I answer the question: Is collagen worth the hype?
But let's get back to this incredibly thirst-quenching, hydrating, and skin-loving drink that serves 8 people. You'll definitely have them coming back for more so you might want to double the recipe!
This drink is perfect for...
- Family BBQ's and outdoor picnics
- A mocktail - the perfect non-alcoholic bevy!
- Kid-approved and non-allergenic ingredients
- Blood sugar balanced from the healthy fats
- Incredibly hydrating from the electrolytes and rich in vitamin C
- Soothing for digestion from the fresh mint

Made this last Night and it was delicious!! My blender could only hold 4 cups of coconut so it was a bit more concentrated, and still so good :) this will be on repeat this summer!
ReplyGlad you loved it Courtney!
Delicious Drink.
ReplyYummmm- what brand of stivia did you use?
ReplyI have used both Sweet Leaf and the Now Foods brand. I like them both!
Love this! Simple and delicious. I make it using a bit less coconut water and a little more ice as I like the more concentrated flavour. Perfect for summer!
ReplyAwesome! it's the perfect summer treat!
What brand of stevia did you use in the recipe?
ReplyBetter Stevia or Now are both good brands. I also love monkfruit. Lakanto is a good brand of monkfruit + erythritol. Hope that helps!
