strawberry lemonade green drink

{ strawberry lemonade green drink }

THE RECIPE:

• 3 stalks of kale
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced {peel on or off}
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• Juice of 2 lemons {or to taste}
• 1 cup water

{makes 2 pint sized drinks}

toss all ingredients into the blender & blend until you reach your desired consistency

*put frozen ingredients in first & layer the kale between the other ingredients -- this helps the blending process

THE REVIEW:

{from amanda} I love this one! It actually tastes like a super good-for-you strawberry lemonade. The lemon juice definitely makes it tart but the sweetness of the strawberries balance it nicely. 

{from josh} The citrus taste in this drink comes through much more today than in yesterday's.  Almost in an overpowering way. I would prefer if it were more strawberry less lemon.  

one more new recipe to come this week!
