There's a few weeks of summer left, and what better way to beat the August heat than with guava-inspired beverages? With a complex profile that blends fruity, floral, and tart notes, guava adds bright tropical flavor to drinks, desserts, and even savory culinary dishes.
Not only is guava delicious, it’s packed with nutrients and vitamins. This tropical fruit is particularly rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and fiber, which are essential to maintaining healthy skin, eyesight, digestion, and immune function. Guava is also a good source of potassium, which may help regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
From flavored water to milkshakes, there are so many ways to try this tropical fruit in a drink. Whether you're hosting a summer party, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a cool and fruity drink on a hot day, these unique guava drink recipes will surely hit the spot!
