As summer seems to be fading away I am finding myself enjoying this raw lemonade on a daily basis hoping to keep summer here longer. This is a healthy way to mix-up your beverages, especially for weaning kiddos off soda and adults who prefer non-alcoholic beverages but still want a little something special at social gatherings.
I introduced this raw lemonade to friends who wanted to remove soda from their child’s diet. It worked like a charm because the child still received a special sweet drink she loved and it was secretly supporting her health. This was a win-win for parents and daughter!
