Strawberry Lemonade Icee
Makes: 4 cups
As a kid I remember Icee’s coming onto the scene. Coca cola Icee was my favorite. It was hot in the summer and my sweet older brother, Jay, used to ride his bike a few miles away to the convenience store, get the Icees and bring them right back home to my younger brother, Stephen and I. Such a treat, but not so healthy! Filled with sugar and caffeine for a little kid. Yikes! My garden is full of sweet strawberries, and a strawberry Icee was calling my name. This healthy beverage is very refreshing and filled with nutrients and antioxidants, plus so much more! You and your kids will love it!
