Every summer my papi (dad) would take me to an amazing Ice cream shop located near my Abuelito’s house in Matamoros and buy me the biggest cup of guava ice cream.  

We were spending a few weeks visiting my Abuelitos, and holy moly was it hot. Matamoros is located near the South Texas border, and if you are familiar with South Texas, baby you know the summer temperatures can be grueling.

Sweet guavas swirled into vanilla ice cream with hints of cinnamon – simply delicious. 

Today I am excited to share a guava milkshake inspired by the guava ice cream I enjoyed in Matamoros. 

Mexican guavas, taste like a combination of pineapple and passionfruit. This small fruit cavity contains seeds that can easily be removed with a spoon. High in potassium, and fiber chose guavas that are a light yellow, free from blemishes or bruises.
