"A refreshing limeade with a unique twist. Prickly pears are now being considered as another 'superfood' with many health benefits. They can be found in various colors--red, green, yellow, and orange. One great way to enjoy this fruit is in this minty limeade. Serve cold and over ice."

Directions

Cut prickly pears in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh with a spoon. Process in a blender until smooth. Push pulp through a fine mesh strainer to extract about 1 1/2 cups juice. Discard pulp.
Place prickly pear juice, water, lime juice, stevia, and mint in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses filled with ice.
