Sometimes life gives you lemons, but in the event that life gives you limes, make some limeade! This little sour, round, bright green, citrus fruit is high in vitamin C, antioxidants and other nutrients. The tangy citrus fruit may help to boost you immune system, reduce heart disease risk factors, prevent kidney stones, aid iron absorbent and promotes healthy skin!
I absolutely love limeade by Simply. Its my go to citrus drink. But why not try making it at home? Nothing compares to fresh squeezed limeade! It’s way healthier and this way, you know exactly what is going in it. Limeade is the perfect summer drink. It is super refreshing and has a nice little zing! Enjoy this refreshing limeade drink ice cold with friends or family on a hot summer day. This delicious, tart little drink goes well with appetizers or even a charcuterie board!
