Yesterday, after my frigid winter run, I treated myself to a healthy, wholesome drink. It was a nice reward for exercise and a reminder that spring will come, even to the Antarctic of Illinois.
It is my own variation on a fruit water by Dr. Oz, called Swimsuit Water (which is also delicious, might I add). I wanted a little more of a kick to mine however, so I changed the recipe and added lemon. If it were possible, I would add lemon to everything!
Strawberry Citrus Water
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen strawberries
juice of 1 lemon
juice of 1/2 lime
cold water
Directions:
1. Add first three ingredients to blender
2. Fill remainder of blender with cold water
3. Puree for 15 seconds
4. Enjoy after a hard workout- you deserve it!
As today is 9 degrees, with a -11 degree wind chill, I may stay inside for my workout. But I still have my Strawberry Citrus Water to look forward to!
And success- finally a food post on The Culture Thrift!
That looks delicious! Just inherited a blender so I will definitely give it a try.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet! I was blenderless for years, but now I love the thing!
