RAW HOMEMADE LEMONADE!!
I absolutely love a glass of lemonade when the weather is warm, and it can't just be any ole lemonade!! This raw homemade version is super delicious!! Not sure if you've ever read the label on store bought lemonade, but it has a lot of ingredients in it. For example, here's the ingredient label on one store bought version that actually claims to have no artificial sweetners or flavors.
Ingredients
Sugar, Fructose, Citric Acid, Contains Less than 2% of Maltodextrin, Natural Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Citrate, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Fumarate, Soy Lecithin, Artificial Color, Yellow 5 Lake, Tocopherol (Preserves Freshness).
It's too bad they have to throw in artificial colors! So, skip the chemicals and try this super healthy 2 ingredient recipe!!
1 whole lemon unpeeled
3 apples (I used gala)
This was enough for 2 small glasses. (this will also depend on how much juice your juicer yields too) If you are serving a large group, just adjust the amounts above in the 1:3 ratio. If your taste buds prefer it a little different, play with the amounts and adjust it to your liking. This has just been my favorite ratio so far!!
Here's my kid version! I added about 4 carrots to the recipe above just to add a little veggie, but without drastically changing the taste. Gabe loved it, and Eric drank the rest. He was surprised at how much it actually tasted like lemonade despite it's
orange color!
