Mango Jalapeno Salsa @ NancyC

Are you staying cool during the hot weather we’ve been having? This is the time of year when I probably eat the most fruit.

It’s a little on the spicy side, so use half the amount of jalapeno and ginger if you want a milder salsa. Overall, I think this is a great, healthy mix of naturally sweet and savory flavors!

Strawberry-Mango Slush

StrawberryMangoSlush@NancyCreative.com After many days of rain, we’re finally getting some sunshine! Which also means it will be hot and humid again. And that kind of weather calls for something to drink that’s nice and cool, like this Strawberry-Mango Slush. It’s a great summer beverage made with two of my favorite fruits. I really like mango–it’s so good for you and so tasty, too! And it tastes really good blended with strawberries. You can whip this up in your blender in no time when you’re wanting to drink something to help you keep cool!

STRAWBERRY-MANGO SLUSH by NancyC Makes about 24 ounces, or two 12-ounce servings

  • 1/2 cup seltzer water or sparkling mineral water
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups crushed ice
  • 1 1/4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped mango
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons honey

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender; cover and process until everything is well blended. Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately.

A slush like this really tastes great when the weather is hot. What kind of cool refreshments have you been making this summer?
