Fresh Squeezed Lemonade Recipe

This healthy homemade lemonade is a refreshing, alkalizing beverage that provides a powerful boost of bioavailable Vitamin C and essential electrolytes. By substituting refined sugar with natural stevia or raw honey, it maintains a low glycemic load while effectively supporting immune function and collagen production. The inclusion of fresh lemon zest provides d-limonene, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to assist in phase 1 liver detoxification.
