Refreshing strawberry lemonade

I don't want to brag, and maybe I should knock on some hard wood, but the weather in my part of the country has been oh so lovely recently. Today, after running some errands and doing a few chores, I was a bit of a sweaty mess and ready for some hydration!

I wanted to incorporate some beautiful and yummy strawberries that were lurking in my refrigerator and nothing is better than lemonade on a hot day!

I give you my strawberry lemonade. It makes two servings, so share with a friend! Or do what I did, and just have two glasses!

Ingredients:

• Juice of one lemon
• 3/4 cup of hulled strawberries
• 1 to 2 tbsp coconut syrup or other sweetener of choice (to taste)
• 2 cups of sparkling water or non-carbonated filtered water

Instructions:

• Place lemon juice, strawberries and coconut syrup into blender and blend strawberries are pureed.
• Add water to blender and pulse a few times to combine.
• Pour into glasses and enjoy!

This drink is HIGHLY enjoyable accompanied by a good book and a patio... just sayin'.

On a somewhat related note, please read what this Coke executive had to say about Coca-Cola. And then hopefully you will ask yourself, "is she freaking serious!?!?". Feel free to discuss below!
