Homemade Lemonade Concentrate

This homemade lemonade concentrate will let you have fresh lemonade year-round.

We recently transplanted our citrus trees and harvested them in the process.

This is the first year we've been able to do so.

Our lemon tree outdid itself!

We noticed that the lemons looked like they had pink-ish stripes.

 

 When we cut them open,

they were pink inside!

 I've never seen anything like it.

One of them was actually yellow but the rest were pink.

We learned that we have a Eureka Pink Lemonade tree.

They're fascinating and beautiful! 

We love lemonade but my husband and one of my sons are diabetic

so we usually don't get to enjoy this refreshment often.

We picked up the Black & Decker Handy Juicer at Wal-Mart

and quickly had more than 64 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

 

My husband is brilliant in the kitchen and concocted this

no-sugar-added recipe for lemonade concentrate. 

  

Here's how each step looks:

 Each time you're ready for a fresh pitcher,

simply thaw out a bag of concentrate, add water and ice.

 

It's absolutely heavenly!

 Enjoy!

 

Easiest Fruit Dip EVER!

This fruit dip is the easiest, and one of the healthiest, dips ever!

It only takes 3 ingredients and about 3 minutes to make.

Using Chobani yogurt adds a serious protein kick to this sweet treat.

 

Here's how I do it:

1 blueberry Chobani yogurt

1 strawberry Chobani yogurt

1 8oz. container whipped topping

 

Mix yogurt in their respective containers to blend the fruit in them well.

Combine yogurts and whipped topping in bowl and stir together.

THAT'S IT!
