Refreshing, Nutritious Raw Honey Lemonade for Your Memorial Day Picnic
Did you know that if you use your blender to emulsify raw honey with liquids that you don’t need to heat it? This is a huge benefit when making lemonade because raw lemons and honey are full of enzymes and other beneficial nutrients, which could well be lost in the heating process. So, we used our Vitamix to make a healthy, refreshing raw honey lemonade for our Memorial Day Picnic. I’ll be sharing the recipe with you below.
Are Lemons Healthy?
care2.com is one of my favorite resources for green living, and I found this great post about lemon’s health benefits. The post reminded me that drinking a cup of warm lemon water every morning is a great idea, and I highly recommend the practice to our readers.
