Recipe: Orange Strawberry Lemonade
Summer is almost here – what better way to celebrate with an orange strawberry lemonade? This juice is refreshing and good for you – all natural.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of strawberries
- 5 clementines
- 1 lemon
- 1/2-1 cup of water
Juice away! On this one I took off all of the clementine peal…I usually don’t – common practice is to just toss it all in the juicer, however, if I were using one big orange that would have been different. I went with my gut since I didn’t want the peel to give it a bitter note. Juice the whole lemon – the peel was totally fine. You pick.
So – all the goodness – the strawberries fight against viruses, increase your iron and help heal. The lemon is rich in vitamin C, like the clementines, but also balances your ph creating a more alkaline environment (seems odd, since the lemon is acid, but it’s true). The orange, has choline and sustains mental health. What’s not to love?
Juice up and drink up!

This summer I plan on making this recipe x3 or x4 when we have company over. They’re going to love it out here on the deck, the long summer days, and a cool and natural drink. Oh, summer, get here already!
