I don’t get why healthy food has this bad rep for being boring? Nothing excites me more than seeing the beautiful colours of berries, spinach or butternut at a market lines up in their different boxes and of course those colours transfer into beautiful food that ends up on our plates. I created these milkshakes…
I’m not sure exactly what is classified as lemonade but I’m guessing if it contains citrus and is fizzy, well that would pass, right?! It sounds really good in the title so I’m sticking with it, any purists out there apologies if this does not fly. My reason for making this is after 6 years…
