Papaya and Ginger Agua Fresca

This is as post sponsored by Sprouts. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands I love that make this website possible.

It’s time to get ready for the warmer months.  Today was 98° F in Southern California and we had to turn on our air conditioner for the first time this year.  I’ve been purchasing more produce than ever lately.  Because we are home more, we are snacking more and that’s where all that fruit comes in handy.  I found a beautiful papaya during my last visit to Sprouts and I just had to do something memorable with it. 

I decided to make a refreshing papaya and cucumber agua fresca to enjoy our time at home.  Cinco de Mayo is a few days away.  We usually have a nice finger food spread of tacos or quesadillas, homemade salsa and guacamole.  This agua fresca will go perfect with our celebration this year. 

Because we’ve been cooped up at home, I’ve been cooking more than ever.  Visiting Sprouts and checking out their produce section always inspires me to create something new with fresh ingredients.  No repeat meals here! If you are not a fan of papaya, Sprouts has a variety of farm- fresh and frozen produce you can use in place of papaya.  Mango, pineapple and even oranges pair well with ginger.  Add a little lime wedge and you have a Cinco de Mayo-ready mocktail.

You want bubbles in your drink?  Add a splash of sparkling water or lime soda for a few fizzies. You can find everything at Sprouts.

During these difficult times, I’ve relied heavily on Sprouts Farmers Market.  Either in person or using a delivery service, I’ve been able to find everything my family needs to stay well and healthy, including vitamins and healthcare items.  It’s my one stop-shop.
