Notes
For a low-sugar version, use stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
Frozen fruit works well; thaw slightly for easier blending.
Swap some of the water with coconut water for a tropical twist.
Use leftover pulp in smoothies, yogurt, or popsicle molds.
Make up to 24 hours ahead and store in the fridge.
