Notes

This Strawberry Lemon Basil tastes like summer and is so refreshing any time of day. I always use organic lemons and toss in the entire peel. It will not only add an extra boost of flavor, but it will increase the nutritional value of your smoothie. 
Lemon peels contain vitamin C, calcium, potassium, fiber, and are high in antioxidants.
Even though we are using organic lemons, be sure to wash first under cool running water and scrub lightly using a vegetable brush. 
Enjoy!
