Strawberry Lemonade~Packed full of nutrients!

There is nothing like a refreshing lemonade in the summertime. My boys actually love this drink all year round. This is a-ok with me because little do they know it is packed full of green leafy Kale. Kale is loaded with nutrients like the best form of B vitamins, antioxidants, vitamin C, A, K, and contains ITC (isothiocyanates) among many others which aids in our detox pathways. I always add coconut oil to my smoothies because of its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-fungal healing properties. It boost the immune system and is wonderful for the skin and hair. Enjoy your summer with this yummy drink!
