Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Tifanie, It's really not a recipe, I just made it up. For 4 servings: I took 4 organic lemons and squeezed them into a strainer over a blender, saving the juice and pulp, picking out the seeds. Then I put in maybe half a dozen frozen strawberries (they were large). Of course, fresh would work, but you might want to make sure you make it ahead of time so that it can get cold or just add some ice. I added a cup or two of water. And I used a heaping tablespoon of raw honey which made a very slightly sweet, tart drink. My girls added another tablespoon which was split between the remaining three servings and they thought it was terrific. I have made this before in a larger quantity for a sleepover and have been pestered ever since by my daughters' friends to make it again. I think that time I used white sugar but I prefer the raw honey and found that the flavor wasn't overpowering. Hope you enjoy this!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Thanks Kathy, I can't wait to try it. Maybe I'll stick my fresh strawberries in the freezer for awhile just so I can save a little time having to refrigerate the whole works. You have had some really great ideas lately that I have been trying. Another one I really enjoyed was the Monte Cristos I think you called them. I always enjoy trying and learning new things from this group. I must admit that some of recipes you've posted have become favorites. thanks for all the effort you put forth sending them to all of us to enjoy.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I had not used the lemon with peel on until yesterday. In past I had juiced the lemon (held it over container and squeezed with my hand). Yesterday I sliced off a hunk about half inch thick of a smallish lemon from my tree and ran it with all the rest of the smoothie ingredients. I loved the lemony flavor, a bit more intense than just juice, but I did not detect any bitterness. But I did drink the entire smoothie within a half hour or so.

If you freeze your grapes you can make a delicious healthy "slushy" and all of the sugar comes from the grapes! If you use the peel of the lemon a little bit of lemon goes a LONG way. I never use more than a 1/4 wedge if I'm including the peel. I often prefer the taste if I use 1/2 of a peeled lemon.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 One of the first things I made in my Vitamix was a frozen strawberry lemonade, and it's soooo good! Thought I'd share the recipe... I use sugar, but I'm sure you could use whatever sweetener you wanted. 1 large lemon (peeled) 3-4 frozen strawberries 3-4 tbsp sugar 2 cups ice Blend until smooth. When it gets warm again, I'm going to try it with limes. > > Sounds very refreshing! And welcome! > Fran > > > In a message dated 3/28/2011 12:16:54 A.M.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Cherries with limes (as in "rickey")! I think I'll retain a bit of the rind but lose the seeds. Do you use any water?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I made a " cherry rickey " this afternoon with a peeled lime ( I'm learning) 7 or so frozen cherries sweetener water and ice. I liked it better than the strawberry lemonade and an instant hit with my husband and daughter. Ready for summer.....waiting for warm weather in Wyoming!! Jane > & gt; > & gt; Sounds very refreshing!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I just made it for us and it's really good. Refreshing and of course not many calories. I took his glass and he said Oh, he wouldn't want dinner then I told him it's was mainly frozen water. I used about 6 smallish to medium frozen strawberries. I added a little water, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup just to get everything going. Before that it wanted to be a sorbet. I had just put together Ina's Lemon Chicken Breasts and I had one lemon with all the zest gone, thus Strawberry Lemonade. TaDa. thanks so much for the recipe. This will be great this summer when it's beastly hot. terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
