Delicious Mint Lemonade

mint, nedalee, green

My two teenage boys are very resistant to eating much of anything green, or to trying a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. But they love this green lemonade and have never yet asked why it's green but if they did I'd tell them it's because of the mint. The flavor alone won them over and because of that I can sneak nutritious greens into their diet. Amazingly, you do not taste the kale at all. Kale is full of nutrient rich, energizing chlorophyll. This recipe is suitable for normal people, Vegans, Vegetarians, alkalizers, and raw fooders.

I would not recommend this for someone who is challenged with cancer because of the natural sweetener. Any one battling cancer should avoid all forms of sweetener because it feeds the cancer cells and causes them to grow. All cancer patients should work to alkalize their system through alkaline ionized water and diet. Most people are surprised to find out that lemons which are acidic by nature are alkalizing to our bodies. So if a cancer patient could tolerate this recipe without the agave or dates or any other form of sweetener it would be a great alkalizer for them.

You will need:

4 lemons
½ bunch Kale
1 bunch mint
¼ cup agave nectar or dates
¼ tsp. Sea salt
6-7 cups alkaline ionized water

Juice lemons. Add juice, clean kale with stems, clean mint with stems and all other ingredients into blender and liquefy. Strain. (Discard the fiber material into your garden.) Chill and enjoy. Your family will say,'Yum, yum.'
