LATE SPRING STRAWBERRY BASIL LEMONADE
In spring, it’s best to eat sweet fruits in moderation, since it’s the time of year when we’re detoxing and lightening with lots of green veggies and very little sugar. But how can we resist juicy fruits like newly ripened strawberries? The collagen-building vitamin C in these bright berries makes it more than okay to indulge. The tart, alkaline lemon and anti-inflammatory basil in this beautifying sip combine to make it a savory-sweet alternative to lemon water.
In a high-powered blender, combine all of the ingredients and process until smooth, about 60 seconds. If desired, strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve before serving at room temperature or over ice.
