Re: my version of Strawberry Lemonade

[Guest guest]

sounded sooo good I had to make some for me too and I loved it.

I have no more lemons now though, used my last two so I wonder if I can use the reallemon you buy in a bottle, I know fresh is better but until I get shopping again.

I have quite the shopping list building now, different greens, nutritional yeast, and now more lemons!

I would like to try it with ice cubes too, would that make it thicker, like a smoothie? What is the ratio with the ice cubes to the lemons and strawberries, same as this one only 2 c of ice cubes as well?

I think it sounds good! Add a little zest from your lemons--it'll make it even better.

g thanks for rubbing that in! But are snow is now mostly gone and it was warmish today. I have a friend in CA and an Aunt.

When we played the international silver stick hockey tournament here in Ontario (was in Niagara Falls) there was a team we played from CA there and they sooo enthused with throwing snowballs after the game. They were very excited with the snow. It was cute.

Just make sure that your percentage of frozens is no more than 75% total and put the liquids on the bottom of the container. If you want to get really fussy with amounts, pre-measure your water before making cubes, e.g., if you freeze 16 oz. of water in your ice cube tray and you want to substitute some ice for 16 oz. of water in a recipe, try half a tray of cubes and 8 oz. of water. I personally don't want to drive myself nuts this way but everyone's different.

It's hard to find good strawberries here now, so I'm gonna try this with some frozen mixed berries. I have just recently got some coconut sugar too, so reckon that could be sweetener. Can't wait to try it - sounds SOOO refreshing, yum yum. I'll report back on the result. Davinna - thanks for posting!Jane.

It'll be about the consistency of a frozen margarita. Slushy and yummy.

I basically do what you do, only I use about 2 cups ice instead of water and

less strawberries (depending on my mood). It's good stuff!

The ratios of ingredients are pretty flexible. I mostly just eyeball it, and it

always turns out perfect.

I never appreciated fresh lemons, until my trees started producing.

They are so much better than any store bought. If I were not so full

from dinner, I would go pick a couple and get the straweberries from

downstairs freezer. So, how was it. What did you use to sweeten?

OK - I just made this using frozen raspberries, the peeled lemon, a couple of fresh dates to sweeten, and threw in a couple of spinach leaves for good measure. Yum yum - this is so delicious and refreshing!! I would never have thought of using a whole lemon, so this is great. Though I think I will double the dates next time as it's not quite sweet enough. But still gorgeous.I can feel it doing me good too, as i'm currently down with a sore throat. We've been busy at work, I've been cutting corners by resorting to weetbix for brekkie instead of the green smoothie (stupid I know), so now I'm sick. Serves me right silly me - lesson learned!!
