Blueberries are a “super food” and, as such, are rich in anti-oxidants and are known to protect your brain, eyes, cardiovascular system and prevent against certain cancers. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and also contain anti-oxidants and protect against certain cancers. I am lucky enough to have a prolific Meyer lemon tree in the backyard and am always searching for ways to utilize these sweeter, fragrant lemons. If you don’t have a juicer, I’d recommend quartering the recipe, throwing the ingredients into a blender with a lot of ice, some water and sugar, and serving up a unique summer smoothie.

Ingredients:

10 Meyer lemonsBlueberry Meyer Lemonade

1 quart ripe blueberries

3 tablespoons raw sugar

2+ quarts water

Directions:

Peel the lemons and wash the blueberries. Alternating the fruits, feed through juicer. Pour liquid into large pitcher, mix in sugar (3 tablespoons leaves the juice with a bit of tartness – you can add more or less sugar to fit personal preferences). Dilute juice with one quart water, adding more as needed to suit your taste. Garnish with a sprig of mint, if desired, and drink up!
