lemonade help

[smarison]

I have a ton of lemons and and I was hoping to make some lemon aid. Even though I am eating mostly raw 80% or more, I am gaining weight and I am hoping it is just water weight. I read a post last night were somone said she has lemonade every day and she thinks that helped her with her weight loss. I saw the recipe in Alissa's book but it only calls for 1/2 a lemon and more apples, I didn't know if there was one using more lemons or does it even matter. Thanks for any help.

Juice of 6 lemons; add water and agave to taste.

Thanks I think I can juice the lemons whole right?

Umm, juice them whole? As opposed to what? I'm confused.

I slice them in half and juice them on a citrus juicer as I would an orange.

I think she means running the entire lemon - peel and all through a juicer? Only if they are organic would I do that and even then I don't think I would. I think the peel (skin) is bitter.

I do that and then slice fresh strawberries into it. And sometimes sprinkle in a few blueberries, too. Very yum.
And I just use a citrus juicer as well.

Thanks all, well I think I may have used to many lemons per water because wow what I pucker face I had drinking it. I did just use the small juicer, i had tried with the skins in the large one and it wasn't working out. I think I needmore water and or nectar. thanks

I never tried to make lemonade in my juicer. I never really drink lemonade anymore since I drank too many lemon drops one night. (lemon, absolute vodka with a sugar chaser) I am sure glad I am raw now! What is green lemonade? Does anyone know how to make this?

I had a VERY good raw (mostly) lemonade at a rest.
Basically it had freshly squeezed lemons, basil, agave, and (this is where it can or cannot be 100% raw), carbonated water. The basil gives it such a good flavor!!!!!! :D
