Made with fresh blackberries and mint, these Blackberry Mojitos will quickly become your go-to summer drink all season long! They’re sweetened with just a touch of honey so you won’t find any refined-sugar in this delicious drink recipe!

In the past week I have made and shot 3 drink recipes. If this isn’t a clear indication of my current state of mind, then I don’t know what is. A VERY tall glass of any form of alcoholic beverage is beyond necessary and IMO well-deserved. The book is done and ready to be released on Sunday (have you pre-ordered yet?) and I am currently on my way to Minneapolis for some solid midwestern fun.

Made with fresh blackberries and mint, these Blackberry Mojitos will quickly become your go-to summer drink all season long! They're sweetened with just a touch of honey so you won't find any refined-sugar in this delicious drink recipe!I’m looking forward to giving C’s parents the biggest hug and tackling my bestie Lee and never letting go. While I am very much excited about having a few days off, these days the idea of a vacation gives me anxiety. With a 2 week long trip out West in July and a recently booked trip to Boston in August, you can imagine my anxiety level right now. I’ve been forced to turn to drink. I’m just kidding, we both know I love my alcohol anxious or not.

It probably makes no sense to you that a vacation might give me anxiety, but let me explain myself. I LOVE my job. I literally bounce out of bed each morning and am pretty much forced to stop working at 9:00 PM. Whether it be cooking recipes, photographing them, writing, demoing for Kewaza or interacting on Social Media, I can say whole-heartedly that I loooooove every minute of my days. The only downside to it is that I’m limited by time. If sleep were optional you better bet I’d skip it.

So going away and being disconnected from my work/phone/computer/kitchen makes me nervous. It’s not so much I’m worried you would forget about me, since I would never let you off that easy, but more so that I can’t think of a better way to spend my time. Sure I enjoy doing other things besides working, but it’s never too far from my thoughts. That’s just a reality.

Sugar-Free Blackberry Mojito // thehealthymaven.comNow do I recognize that this may be unhealthy and all the more reason to take a vacation? Yes. I know that for my own sake and for the sake of the blog I need to step away and allow everyone some space to breathe. I live in fear of burning out so despite my unwillingness to disconnect, I know I will.

So instead I will be cutting down while I’m away. I won’t disappear entirely because I would have a legit panic attack, but I am forcing myself to vacation because I know I have to. Wow, my life seems so hard doesn’t it?

Now before I go and enjoy a weekend full of drinks, lakes and fit foodie’s finds, I have to say two things. 1) Don’t let paper straws fool you, they may be pretty but you can’t actually drink from them DAMN. 2) Can we take a minute to admire the gorgeous butcher’s block these blackberry mojitos were shot on? My friend MADE it for me and I could not be more grateful. You know your friends get you when they gift you a butcher’s block. Thank you Galen!

Adios amigos! See ya on the flip side.

  1. These do look beautiful and plenty refreshing too. You would have been proud, I was a cocktail consuming machine this weekend. I’m pretty sure I shot gunned half a bottle of hard cider too. Hey, I didn’t want to leave it behind…alcohol abuse.

    I love vacations because they force me to relax, although in all honesty I’ve gotten pretty good at doing this at home too. It took me years though and I’m not always successful but my new motto is work hard, play hard, relax hard.

    Enjoy it; I’ll miss you. Now go chill.

  2. Yay for anything boozy. I’m so digging this!
    I hope you get to relax and have an amazing time! We’ll miss you and your posts though! :”( Anyway, taking some time off is very much needed not to end up burnt out, so go ahead and enjoy!! xx

  3. The -thought- of vacations gives me anxiety, but when I’m actually on them I love every minute. Have a blasty, blast lady!

  4. Haha, we all know ebooks spike more than just stress levels 😉
    I feel you on the nervousness! More often than not, I felt like I could’ve been being doing something related to blogging, which is fine, but at the same time, I realized I have to “let it go” 😉 and enjoy the moments I’ve been given. I can’t wait to hear about this weekend, it sounds like it is going to be fantabulous!

  5. That IS a beautiful butcher’s block and looks just like the edge of a lovely wooden kitchen table – perfect for blogging! A family member who didn’t know I had started a blog gave me a lovely chopping board for my birthday a few months ago and I couldn’t have been more delighted with it – so I know the feeling!
    Beautiful drink – both the sound of the actual drink (blackberries – mmmm) and the photos.
    Have a wonderful vacation. I haven’t taken a longish vacation since I started my blog but I can imagine when I do struggling with how to deal with that. How long have you been blogging full time for? I would bounce out of bed if I was doing that, too!

  6. Yum! This is my type of drink! I majorly dislike super sweet, sugary drinks but this sounds perfect!
