Lemons are acidic fruits that actually turn alkaline in the body, aiding in detoxification. Incorporating some grated lemon zest can help boost immunity, fight free radical damage, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Just make sure to use organic lemons and peels that are free of chemicals. Using frozen bananas (just store a bunch of peeled bananas in a Ziploc bag or container in your freezer) makes for a creamy, thick texture once blended and adds extra frothy sweetness.
