Hey everyone, it is Brad, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, strawberry lemonade. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Strawberry Lemonade is one of the most favored of current trending foods in the world. It is appreciated by millions every day. It’s simple, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look wonderful. Strawberry Lemonade is something that I have loved my entire life.
To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have strawberry lemonade using 7 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Strawberry Lemonade:
- Get 5 large lemons
- Take 1 cup Sugar
- Make ready 1 cup Water
- Get 1/2 packages Strawberries
- Get 40 slice Of Frozen Strawberries
- Get 1/2 Lemon cut into slices
- Get 1 Strawberries for garnish or lemons as garnish or a combo of both ☺
Steps to make Strawberry Lemonade:
- 40 slices of strawberries how thick or thin you slice your strawberries is up to you and place them in your freezer til frozen. These will be used as your ice cubes in place of ice so you will not water down your drinks.
- Take your half of a lemon and slice them thinly place them in your 1 quart serving container or jar
- Cut your five lemons in half and juice them you can leave the pulp in our strain it is really up to you, add to your 1 quart container or jar or whatever with your lemon slices
- Take your half of a container of strawberries puree then you may have to add just a little bit of water and combined with your slices of lemon. Side note tangent: Remember a little bit of water means a little bit of water it does not mean a lot of water it means a little bit of water! Now, when I say half of a container of strawberries I do not mean go out and buy a jumbo container of strawberries and use half of it; it means either get the small container of strawberries and use half. Now if you buy the large container of strawberries then take half of it then take half of the half in other words divided into forths and go that route☺ You can always add more pureed strawberries at the end if you'd like after you taste it.
- Combine your 1 cup sugar and your 1 cup water in a small saucepan and set it on the stove on low to medium low and stir to dissolve the sugar and pour it in with your pureed strawberries and your thinly sliced lemons
- And as much water as you like to make it as tart or not so tart as you like. If you like it sweeter then you can always add make more simple syrup and add little at a time
- Place 10 frozen strawberries slices into 4 glasses, I tend to use thick slices of strawberries, and pour your strawberry lemonade over your 'ice cubes' in this case your frozen strawberry slices and enjoy.
Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood
Most of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be totally nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can boost your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at dealing with depression. You need to see to it, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you boost your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Consume an egg and feel a lot happier!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to elevate your mood.

Some grains are really excellent for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping raise your happiness levels. They help you feel full also which can really help to better your mood. It’s not difficult to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult for your body to digest.
