Guava Lime Morning Drink

Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 ripe guavas, washed and chopped
• Juice of 1 fresh lime
• 1½ cups cold water
• ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
• Pinch of cinnamon, optional
• 4–5 ice cubes

Instructions

1. Wash the guavas thoroughly and cut them into small pieces. You can leave the peel on.
2. Add chopped guava, lime juice, ginger, and water to a blender.
3. Blend for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.
4. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother drink without guava seeds.
5. Taste and add honey if additional sweetness is needed.
6. Pour over ice and serve immediately.

Optional High-Protein Version

Blend in ½ cup plain Greek yogurt. This makes the drink thicker, creamier, and adds protein.

Tip: You can drink it with breakfast or any other time of day; there’s no special requirement to drink it on an empty stomach.

Important: Guava and lime can be part of a nutritious diet, but this drink should not be presented as a cure for diabetes or fatty liver.
