sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
Last May I visited Chicago and had the pleasurable experience of dinning at the Chicago Diner. Among many delicious food items (most noteworthy: RAW Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake!) I drank a tantalizing thirst quenching Blueberry Basil Limeade. I have been wanting to re-create this ever since and finally a few days ago I did.

Blueberry Limeade
1/2 of container of blueberries
4 large basil leaves
1/4th of a limes juice
1/2 teaspoon stevia
2 cups water (or less to your desired consistency)
Simply blend. Serve right away or chilled.
I was hoping to get a more specific measurement on the blueberries- I get the rather large size package! I did try it, and I just used about 1 cup of blueberries, and a little agave for the sweetener. Fantastic! Love the flavor combo!
I would never have thought to add basil to fruit - thank you!!!
thanks for introducing me to my new favorite drink. perfect for a hot summer day or night. so refreshing! so unspeakably amazing! sublime!
that sounds so delicious! i'll definitely give it a try soon!
Ohh I love blueberry-basil combos! I put blueberries, banana, basil, kale in a smoothie about 3 times a week lately. I think I'll have to give this mix a try too, it sounds so refreshing! Thanks
