Hot summer days call for good company and a cold drink in hand. When I think of summer days, I immediately think of two things: fresh watermelon and lemonade. It’s a no-brainer to combine the two—and add a little splash of vodka—to make some spiked watermelon lemonade!

Typical spiked lemonade often has 25 to 30 grams each of carbs and sugar—all from processed ingredients. The easiest way to cut carbs and sugar: Don’t use the fake stuff! Why use fake ingredients when real fruit tastes so amazing?

This spiked watermelon lemonade has no added sugar and makes sitting poolside that much sweeter. It’s way too easy. All you have to do is add vodka, water, watermelon, lemon juice and optional stevia to a blender and blend until it becomes completely smooth. You can serve your spiked watermelon lemonade right out of the blender, or you can pour it into a pitcher and refrigerate it while you wait for your friends to join you.

This spiked watermelon lemonade recipe is one of my favorite summer drinks. The clean ingredients make it taste light and refreshing, and it’s full of nutrients like vitamins A and C. Plus, the water and watermelon give you a boost of hydration—you can’t go wrong!

Now that spring is here, farmers markets are popping up all over the area. It’s so much fun to wake up on a Saturday morning, bring the dog and bring your family, and make a trip to your local produce stand. Produce from the farmers market is a fantastic way to support local businesses and buy a large amount of fruits and vegetables at an extremely affordable cost. When you’re getting your vegetables and fruits directly from the farmer themselves, you know that you’re getting great products that are fresh and free of hormones and GMOS. Although they might look extra delicious, make sure that after you purchase your farmers markets products you’re washing them thoroughly. If you aren’t 100% sure, you can also double check with the seller at the stand to ensure that the products are organic… but they should be labeled as such!

The fruits and veggies that you were eating during the winter months are slowly fading out of season, and now it’s time to revamp your dinner plate!
