If you know me or been following my blog, you probably know that I love blueberries in smoothies. Today I brought you a very refreshing and delicious drink, perfect for summer, Blueberry Lemonade.
This drink can be found almost all the time in my fridge, in fact my family reaches for it instead of water, that's how refreshing it is. I've used sugar but if you wish you can use any sweetener you like.
If you decided to make this lemonade, don't forget to let me know how you liked it in the comment box below.
Enjoy 🙂

I never tried blueberry lemonade before (just strawberry lemonade so far). This is wonderful! I love blueberries but besides smoothies, I never used it for drinks. How fun! Got to try this!

I add blueberries in my smoothies too 🙂 but I'm glad that I've tried this recipe, the taste is just amazing!

We have way too many blueberries right now and it's way too hot around here, so this lemonade seems like the perfect solution to both problems! Love it 🙂
