Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Recipe (Just 3 Ingredients + Water!)

There’s something about a warm, sunny day that commands a refreshing, fruity beverage with just a hint of sweetness. One of my favorites is strawberry lemonade.

Unfortunately, most pre-made lemonades, fruity drinks and beverage powders / mixers sold in stores are loaded with refined sugar, artificial colors and unnatural ingredients like preservatives.

Fortunately, you can make a delicious and 100% natural strawberry lemonade with just 3 simple ingredients and water.

This lemonade recipe features two super nutritious ingredients:

Strawberries

Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C that:

  • Strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation in the body, which helps prevent serious diseases like cancer.
  • Provide a natural anti-aging effect by boosting collagen production in the body and  and toning skin.
  • Deliver a rich source of magnesium and potassium that reduce hypertension. Plus, they’re an excellent source of fiber that’s very easy to digest!

Lemon Juice

  • Stimulates liver function to remove toxins from the body.
  • Loaded with vitamin C that cleans out free radicals, improves immune function and helps heal the body.
  • The negative ions in lemon juice naturally increase energy and improve mood.

More good news…this recipe is a cinch to make!


THE RECIPE

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE RECIPE

~ Makes About 4.5 Cups ~

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups of organic strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup of bottled organic lemon juice or the juice squeezed from 2 large lemons
  • 1-3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup (depending on how sweet you like your lemonade)
  • 2.5 cups of purified or spring water

Preparation:

  1. Put the strawberries, lemon juice and maple syrup into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. (If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw a bit before blending.)
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a beverage pitcher (preferably glass), and then add the water. Whisk everything together until it is fully blended.
  3. Serve immediately over ice or chill in the fridge until cool.
  4. Optional: Garnish your glass with lemon and/or strawberry slices.

I typically use frozen organic strawberries to make my strawberry lemonade, so the initial mixture turns out pretty slushy:

Once I add the water, the lemonade is already chilled from the frozen strawberries. So good!


Cheers to enjoying delicious strawberry lemonade that’s 100% natural and free of refined sugar!
