Paleo Sangria Daiquiri (no-alcohol option) with SECRET nutrient-boost ingredients

Reposting updating this paleo sangria daquiri recipe because I just made it again… 

Summer isn't over yet, not here anyway, we've got one more week before we fire up our homeschool again, so there's still time to enjoy this yummy drink on your deck with friends, although it's delicious any time of the year.  You can even leave out the liquor and give it to your kids for a fun fruity treat, plus it's SO simple.  Just throw in whatever fruit you have on hand.  It's sort of like a smoothie, but not as loaded with nutrition as my superfood smoothies are.  You know I can't leave it at that, though, so I do still add in two secret ingredients for a nutritional boost that no one will ever know about, except those of you who keep reading, of course.  🙂

The best part is that it's just as tasty but better for you than your average mixed drink because it has no refined sugars, in fact, that's the reason you can even serve it to your paleo friends!  I made these last week when we had our bible study friends over, because I wanted my friend Lyn to be able to enjoy a fun beverage too.  (For dessert I made these paleo blonde brownies that are SO good, even if you don't eat paleo.)

***The paleo sangria daiquiri recipe is super adatable depending on what you have on-hand.  Or see the notes section below for a specific recipe if that's easier!

Paleo Sangria Daiquiri Recipe

Servings: 8 servings

Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

• 7 cups fruit puree-- just use whatever fresh or frozen fruit you have on-hand. (Check the dirty dozen list for which produce it's especially important to buy organic and which produce it doesn't matter as much.) For this recipe I threw in strawberries, peaches, one orange, and the juice from 6 small limes. You could also use mangos, kiwi, pineapple, blueberries, bananas, raspberries, etc.
• Start with 1/3 cup real maple syrup. I ended up adding another 1/4 cup, but just taste to see how you like it. Amounts will depend on the type of fruits you use since some are sweeter than others. If you're using fruits like pineapple, mango, or banana you probably won't need any sweetener at all.
• Optional: rum or Riesling wine — see amounts below in the instructions.
• Optional nutritional boost: 1 scoop of my favorite collagen. This provides healthier skin and nails, improves gut and joint health, decreases inflammation, builds or restores muscle, improves metabolism, and more. (10% off with the code KOP.)
• Another optional superfood boost: Colostrum. This is also for gut health, and for many it has helped them get their lives back after dealing with mutiple chronic health issues!

Instructions

• Keep adding fruit until you get about 7 cups in your blender and puree well.  If your fruit has seeds, you may want to strain it at this point and then add it back to the blender or pour it into a pitcher for serving easily.

For the secret burst of nutrition…

• Before you're done blending, add the optional superfood ingredients to the blender and no one will know, since they blend easily into cold OR hot liquids, and there's no taste, the colostrum just adds a little bit of a creaminess!
• As you serve the drinks (our glasses hold 1 cup), leave room to add in the the optional rum for adult drinks and stir well — I used 3/4 of a shot glass each (which = 1 ounce, which also = 1/8th cup). Taste-test and use more if desired.  If desired, you can also stir in a splash of riesling wine.

Notes

Here's just one option if you want a more specific recipe, this one has no added sweetener at all:

Makes 5 servings/5 cups

• 2 heaping cups of frozen organic mango chunks
• 20 ounce can of pineapple in 100% juice
• 1/2-3/4 c. Mount Gay rum (I like less, the guys like more)
• 1 scoop collagen
• 1 heaping Tablespoon colostrum

Blend very well & serve.
