When the weather heats up, I love whipping up my Pineapple Orange Summer Cooler. It’s loaded with fresh fruit, hydrating coconut water, and 20g of protein from ANIMAL Clear Whey—so it tastes indulgent but still fuels my goals. Whether I’m recovering after leg day, lounging by the pool, or just craving something tropical, this drink always hits the spot.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop ANIMAL Clear Whey (Pineapple Orange flavor)
- 4 fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ medium peach, chopped
- 1 cup cold water
- ½ cup coconut water (I used tangerine coconut water)
- Peach slice (optional garnish)
Instructions
-
Mix the Clear Whey:
In a shaker bottle, combine 1 scoop of ANIMAL Clear Whey with 1 cup of cold water. Shake well, then let it sit for 1–2 minutes so the foam can settle. -
Muddle the Fruit:
In your favorite glass, gently mash the strawberries and peach pieces with the back of a spoon or a muddler. You’re not making a purée, just enough to release those sweet juices. -
Assemble the Drink:
Add ice to your glass, spoon in the muddled fruit, then pour the clear whey mixture over it. Top with coconut water and give it a gentle stir. Strain into a chilled glass for a smoother sip, or keep the fruit in for texture and color. -
Optional Elevations:
Add a squeeze of lime or lemon if you like a tart finish. A sprig of mint takes it to spa-level refreshing. Want bubbles? Top with a splash of sparkling water for a light fizz.
