A short YouTube how-to showing multiple speakers preparing a Strawberry + Red Grape + Basil + Honeycrisp Apple lemonade-style smoothie. The clip demonstrates juicing two lemons with a handheld citrus juicer into a blender (removing seeds), coring and dicing Honeycrisp apples (notes that Gala or Fuji also work), and shows strawberries, red grapes, basil, and lemon juice being readied before blending. The content emphasizes simple prep steps (zesting optional if lemons are organic, composting peels/cores) and the smoothie’s nutrient density.

Okay, so now it's time to add the lemon juice.
And I'm going to do the juice.
Of two lemons one at a time.
So. See that? All right, now what we're going to do is we're going to take the.
This is a handheld citrus juicer.
So what we do is we open it like this.
We put the lemon face down.
Okay.
And I'm going to do this over the blender.
Here.
Let me try to do this so you can see.
Okay.
That was the half of the first lemon. Just take that out.
Put the.
Oh, there's some seeds in there.
Put the next one in face down.
Okay, we're going to squeeze this into the blender. It just scoops out of there really easy, this one.
The blender is a little bit too tall.
I don't know if you can see.
That in the video, but you get the idea.
Okay, this is the third half.
Make sure you get all the juice.
And then this is the last one.
Oops.
You don't want it to go that way.
You want it to go this way. Okay.
That'S the idea.
Okay.
And now is the Honeycrisp apple right here.
Honeycrisp is a really sweet apple. I also use sometimes Gala and Fuji.
Any of these will work.
Remove the core. All this.
Core, the apple and the lemon peel can all go in a compost pile. Now, if your lemons are organic, you can do some of the zest of the lemon peel.
That can go into the smoothie as well.
Make sure you don't have any apple.
Seeds and no core.
Remove the core.
Alright, so that can go in. I'm just gonna. Since I don't have my Vitamix, I'm gonna cut these up into chunks.
To.
Help the blender along.
Okay.
Just dice the apple.
Slice and dice on the wooden cutting board here.
And again, this is a strawberry, red.
Grape basil, Honeycrisp apple lemonade. Say that 10 times fast.
Lots of goodness.
Lot of nutrition, nutrient density in this smoothie.
Okay.
So.
You see that?
There's the apples, sliced and diced, the strawberries, red grape basil and the lemon juice.
