Strawberry Lemonade
3 cups fresh or defrosted grapes (red or green)
1 slice lemon 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick with the zest still on
4-5 fresh or frozen strawberries
Up to 1 Tablespoon honey, optional
2 cups ice
Start your Vitamix on variable speed 1 and quickly turn the dial up to 10, then switch to high. Blend on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Makes approximately 36 ounces.
Strawberries can be omitted for plain lemonade.
For limeade use a 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick slice of lime with the zest still on instead of lemon.
I can't wait to get mine...you're right - total investment in our future. :)
ReplyDeleteI chose a juicer instead and now I am wishing I hadn't. Guess I could get it too! This looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe bought the dry blade for our Vitamix, so we also use it to grind grain. Way more economical and compact compared to buying a grain mill, a food processor, AND a blender!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful...I love the strawberry lemonade--I haven't thought of making it in my vitamix. Great idea. Is it like a frozen strawberry lemonade?
