Rice Free Fresh Kiwi Lime Lemonade
Bright, tropical, and refreshingly tart, this homemade lemonade gets a serious upgrade from fresh kiwi blended right into the mix. The combination of squeezed lemon and lime juice gives it a double-citrus punch that store-bought drinks just can't touch. Maple syrup stands in as the sweetener here, dissolving into a quick simple syrup that blends seamlessly into the whole pitcher without any graininess. Straining the blended kiwi through a fine-mesh sieve keeps the texture silky smooth while still delivering all that gorgeous green flavor. Every single ingredient in this drink is naturally grain-free and free from rice-derived additives, so there's no label-reading stress involved. Pile on the ice, tuck in a few mint leaves and lime slices, and you've got something that looks as good as it tastes.
