National Lemonade Day

Yesterday I was on Instagram and one of my favorite youtubers/musicians Charles Trippy posted a picture making lemonade and advertising that august 20th was national lemonade day. So even though I was a day late, I thought I would celebrate anyway with a strawberry lemonade popsicle, and a bonus popsicle recipe featuring lemons.

Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
yield: 2 popsicles

6 strawberries - stems removed
Juice of 4 lemons
1/3 cup water

In a food processor blend together all ingredients until the strawberries are fully pureed and mixture is smooth. Fill 2 popsicle molds with mixture and freeze for 4-6 hours.


Mango Smoothie Popsicles
yield: 2 popsicles

1 mango - peeled and diced
1/2 banana - sliced
1/2 cup orange juice
Juice of 1 lemon

In a blender, mix together all ingredients until smooth and slightly thick in consistency. Fill 2 popsicles molds with mixture and freeze for 4-6 hours.

With my parents gone for a week and a half already, I am definitely ready for them to come home. I am starting to realize how much they do to keep the house together and I am ready to not have to worry about watering plants and feeding the cat all the time. Also them returning means I will be a few days away from my own vacation and then going to back to school. So till next time,
Keeping Cooking Brooklyn!
