After a month full month of neglecting my blog, I have come out of summer hibernation with many recipes in store for later. In case you were wondering, I'm still alive and well.
On Wednesday last week I embarked on a long trail run in 98 degrees, rationalizing that the shade of the forest would protect me. I'm not sure why I thought this, considering our thermometer is in the shade. The only reason I don't regret the decision is because this recipe idea came to me on the way down. I soon found myself near the top of windy hill, desperate for water. I felt like I was in the hunger games as my instincts became increasingly sharp and I checked every bush for hydrating berries. Unfortunately I found no berries or water fountains. I couldn't help but day dream about which liquid I would drink as soon as I returned. Thus, I had plenty of time to mentally create and perfect this drink for the rest of the way down. Upon returning I immediately downed two glasses of the cool and tangy drink. It restored me perfectly.
Directions
Blend the ingredients below in a magic bullet or blender.
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 10 ice cubes
- juice of 1/2- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp sugar
- handful of frozen raspberries
Note: I like lemonade more sour than sweet, especially when it's hot out. Add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter variety.
Enjoy and Expect more to come. Sweet potato quesodillas, gingersnap almond butter, powerballs, and blackberry crumble. Any opinions from the readership?
