1 tsb Stevia (or sweetner of choice, i also like to use trim healthy mama gentle sweet 1 TBS)

2. Add ice to the fill the jar. Add selter waer to the top. Stir with straw. Sip all throughout the day!! 

~frozen mango lemonade

1 1/2 cup frozen mango chuncks

1/4 cup water

juice of half a lemon

a drizzle of honey

1/2 TBS sugar (optional, but gives it a sweeter flavor) 

glass cup/jar

blender/mixing peice

2. taste and see if anything else is needed. 

3. Pour into a cup, and enjoy! 

~mango dragon fruit refresher (starbucks)

• 1 ¼  teaspoons freeze dried dragonfruit powder. 
• ▢4 cups water (divided, you can also replace with lemonade, which will give you a more fruity flavor.)
• ▢3/4 cup mango juice
• ▢4 tablespoons simple syrup (or sugar/ honey, you can adjust the sweetness by using more or less)
• ▢ice cubes
• ▢2 tablespoons optional green tea (chilled, you can subsitute green coffee extract. This ingredient is mainly to add caffeine to the drink. You can skip it and it won't affect the flavor or color of your drink)

Instructions:Place a green tea bag in a cup and pour in hot water. Steep the tea for 2 minutes and chill in the refrigerator.

• Whisk together dragonfruit powder and 1/2 cup of water until dissolved. It takes a few minutes for the powder to dissolve completely. (It's important to mix the powder with a small amount of water first so it's easier for the powder to dissolve.)
• Add the rest of water and mango juice into a pitcher.
• Add in chilled green tea and dragonfruit blend. Mix to combine.
• Add simple syrup (or sugar/ honey) to your desired sweetness. Mix well. (Start with small amount, taste and gradually add more.)
• Fill each glass with ice and pour the mixture into the glass.
• Serve and enjoy!!  (THIS IS NOT MY RECIPE)
