Because we believe you can do anything you set your mind to, we'll admit to having mixed feelings about this juicy, orange melon being called a cantaloupe instead of a CANaloupe, but we digress. It's an absolutely bright and delightful base to this Cantaloupe Chia Agua Fresca! Just add a little water, lime, chia, maple syrup and soon enough you'll be slurping and saying fresc-aah.

With the weather getting colder each day, we've bean craving something warm. So if you're anything like us and your tastebuds are still in holiday mode, we've got you covered!
So, you're hosting for the holidays, and checking your guest list twice when you realize Jack Frost RSVP'd "YES." It's fantastic news (his calendar is booked this time of year!) but suddenly you realize you need to come up with a drink that's as cool as he is—literally. "I've got it: Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate!" you exclaim, "With buñuelos on top!" Well, isn't that just the icing on the shake.
Imagine: you're sitting on the couch with Mexican Hot Chocolate in hand, watching snow fall outside, and kicking your feet (clad in your favorite fuzzy socks, of course) up near the crackling fireplace. You take a sip of your creamy Mexican Hot Chocolate and ahhhh, yes..tastes like happy, happy holidays!
