Creamy Refreshers Drinks (Print Version)

Five chilled creamy refresher drinks made with fruit, milk or coconut milk, ice, and a light condensed milk sweetness.

# Ingredients:

Mango coconut refresher

01 - 1 cup (165 g) ripe mango chunks, fresh or frozen
02 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk, chilled
03 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water or coconut water
04 - 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk, plus more to taste
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
06 - 1 cup ice
07 - Pinch of fine salt

Strawberry cream refresher

08 - 1 cup (150 g) hulled strawberries
09 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk or almond milk, chilled
10 - 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
11 - 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice, optional
12 - 1 cup ice

Banana milk refresher

13 - 1 ripe banana, sliced
14 - 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or oat milk, chilled
15 - 1 teaspoon honey or 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
16 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
17 - 1/2 cup ice

Matcha coconut refresher

18 - 1 teaspoon matcha powder
19 - 2 tablespoons warm water
20 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk beverage, chilled
21 - 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
22 - 1 cup ice

Pineapple cream refresher

23 - 1 cup (165 g) pineapple chunks, fresh or frozen
24 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk, chilled
25 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water
26 - 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
27 - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
28 - 1 cup ice
29 - Pinch of fine salt

# Instructions:

01 - Refrigerate the fruit and milk before blending. Cold ingredients make the drinks brighter and reduce how much ice you need.
02 - Dice the mango, hull the strawberries, slice the banana, and cut the pineapple into small chunks. Use frozen fruit straight from the freezer if you want a thicker drink.
03 - For the matcha version, whisk matcha powder with warm water until smooth, then add it to the blender with coconut milk, condensed milk, and ice.
04 - Working one drink at a time, add the listed fruit or matcha mixture, creamy base, sweetener, and ice to a blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth and lightly frothy.
05 - Taste each drink. Add lime for brightness, a splash of cold water for a lighter texture, or a small spoonful of condensed milk if the fruit is tart.
06 - Pour into chilled glasses over fresh ice. Serve immediately while the drinks are cold, creamy, and frothy.

# Notes:

01 - Makes five different 1-cup drinks, one of each flavor.
02 - Use frozen fruit for a thicker, colder texture.
03 - Shake leftovers well because fruit and milk separate as they sit.
