RASPADO AGUA FRESCA FRUIT BOWL, AN EASY AND DELICIOUS TREAT TO BEAT THE HEAT!!

Hello and welcome back to Views on the Road. Today I'm going to show you how to transform your favorite agua fresca into a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner or even a snack. I'm also going to show how you can prep this so that you can have this whenever you want. What you're going to do first is you're going to pick what agua fresca you're going to work with and the ones that I always have on hand are the cucumber and watermelon. Why? Because they're more affordable and guess what if you're on a budget this is something you're going to absolutely love. Now let's get started. You're going to add six to seven cups of ice. You're going to add about two and a half cups of your agua fresca. Looks about right there and now we're going to blend until all of our ice is crushed and smooth. And boom done and there we have it a beautiful raspado. A raspado is a Mexican slushy so this is going to be in between an agua fresca bowl and a raspado bowl. These are very popular in Mexican culture especially during the hot season or when you guys are trying to lose a little weight and still want to eat food and you're going to want to use your favorite fruit for your topping. I have some strawberries, I have an orange and mango combination, pineapple, kiwis and watermelon cubes and honestly you want to pick the fruit that's on sale. That's how this is going to work for your family and make it budget friendly. And in order to stay cool with the hot season you're going to want to chop up some cucumber. They're affordable and they keep you nice and cool kind And now you just want to have fun like when you were a kid. You're going to start piling on all your delicious fruit and the wonderful part about this fruit is that it stays nice and fresh in your refrigerator so if you want to infuse some of your water you already have your fruit chopped up. I am going to warn you that this is very filling so if you have a hardy eater just tell them oh I made you a snack all of a sudden they're not going to want to have dinner. You know the kids when they get out of school this is what you want to have ready for them. Add our kiwi. So yummy. A little bit of cucumber there. Sprinkle it everywhere for a little confetti and you have choices you can enjoy it just like this or you can give it a little bit of a Mexican flair and let me show you what I'm going to do. If you're going to keep your agua fresca bowl with just fruit you can add a drizzle of your lechera and it's going to amplify the flavor but if you're going to get it for a treat you're going to need some chamoy and some tahini. I love Mexican candy and this is another one that you can add it does have a seed and you kind of just eat around the skin with these. You gotta add some tamarind candy and these bowls work out great especially during the hot season you can just make them in advance and place them in your freezer and boom done you have breakfast lunch or dinner or even a snack. And then you're going to seal the deal and place them right in your freezer and if you don't want to use a disposable little container like this you can also use a pyrex glass with the lid and yes you can freeze these and boom done who's ready for a taste. I'm gonna need somebody very special to say ah. As always Claudia and I are wishing you the best. We absolutely adore you. We hope you enjoyed this delicious treat and on that one we'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Adios. Do you want everything? Yeah everything. Okay.
