Farmers Market Find: An Icy, Tangy Passion Fruit Treat

Here at Thrive Market, we’re all about supporting sustainable, local farming, and we encourage our members to shop at their local farmers market for seasonal produce—it’s the perfect complement to a pantry full of spices, oils, and cooking essentials from Thrive Market. This week, we’re celebrating the seasonal sweetness of passion fruit and mango in this ice cold treat.

Celebrate the last true weekend of summer with this Mexican-style snow cone flavored with a tangy and refined-sugar-free passion fruit syrup. Pieces of mango add flavor and texture to the fruity punch.
