National Lemonade Day

It’s sweet, tart, and perfectly refreshing!

National Lemonade Day is here and we all know what that means! The scavenger hunt for the quarters begins!

Since 2007, Lemonade Day has been dedicated to the children from all over the world who set up a stand in their front yard and pour a home-squeezed glass of lemonade to neighbors for a couple of quarters. Lemonade Day recognizes the young and hard-working entrepreneurs who raise money for various reasons, ranging from supporting their favorite Charity to being able to purchase the newest toy in the market all on their own!

As much as we would love to drink any lemonade out there, let us help your blood sugar! Check out these recipes for homemade and diabetic-friendly lemonade!
