Low FODMAP Agua Fresca (Three Ways)

June 30, 2021 By Joana Oliveira

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Today I bring you three healthy and homemade low FODMAP agua fresca recipes to keep you hydrated during the summer. Choose your favorite: cucumber green, pineapple yellow or strawberry pink.

I’ve long wanted to make my own low FODMAP refreshment that would be safe for us. A refreshing drink that we could easily take with us and also share at a party. These agua frescas have everything to please kids and grown ups alike. They are super healthy, alcohol-free and have low sugar.

Agua fresca is a non-alcoholic drink, drank in Mexico, Central America and parts of the US. This type of drink includes the horchata, quite popular in Spain. When I lived in Barcelona, I remember when it was hot, everyone walked around with their glass of orxata (in Catalan) with ice and a straw. It was just with this in mind that I decided to make my own portable cool drink. I used mason jars with lids so I can take my agua fresca everywhere!

Ingredients of this low FODMAP agua fresca

Each agua fresca has very few ingredients and the name of a color associated with its main ingredient. We have, from right to left:

  • Cucumber Green which has cucumber, mint leaves, lime and maple syrup .
  • Pineapple Yellow made with pineapple, ginger and yellow sugar.
  • Strawberry Pink which contains strawberries, basil leaves, sugar and a secret ingredient that is optional but highly recommended to intensify the flavor of strawberries!

Now you’ll only need to blend everything, add water, a little ice and you’ll have a refreshing and super healthy drink in just a few minutes!

Choose your favorite, try it and don’t forget to comment below! I’m warning you that they are so good and addictive that you won’t want to buy soft drinks or juices anymore. Because why risk having symptoms when we can have a delicious, cheap and easy to make drink?

Notes

Low FODMAP safe serving:
  • Cucumber, ginger and strawberries are FODMAP free.
  • Mint and basil leaves are low FODMAP.
  • We can drink up to 8.82oz | 250ml of lime juice and 4.41oz | 125ml of lemon juice. The recipe calls for 4.41oz | 125ml of one or the other and is therefore safe.
  • Pineapple is limited to 4.94oz | 40g per meal, the same amount as in the recipe.
  • We can consume up to a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and the recipe only calls for 1 teaspoon.
  • Sugar is not an issue in the low FODMAP diet.
We can then drink the full amount of each agua fresca without any problems.
