If you’ve ever shied away from making traditional lemonade because you were concerned about all that white sugar, don’t give up hope. This homemade strawberry lemonade is not only a healthier version, free of the white stuff, but it’s ready in less than 60 seconds flat. As the weather gets warmer, this is my new go-to recipe when I need a refreshing and healthful drink to quench my thirst.

Not only are lemons detoxifying, but they are also bursting with antioxidants and cancer fighting compounds making them a powerful superfood anyone can add to their diet. Enjoy this drink whenever you feel like you need a quick boost to your day!
