Season Veggies on the BBQ
Fresh lemons + sea salt is the perfect healthy combo to season your grilled veggies this
summer!
Clean the BBQ with Lemons
Don’t throw away your lemons. Did you know you can use them to clean the BBQ when you’re
finished grilling?
Hydrate with Lemon-Water
Whether you’re hiking, at a picnic or just lounging in the backyard, lemon water is a great way
to stay hydrated and nourish your body, all at once. Up the ante and treat your tastebuds by
adding other fresh ingredients, such as cucumber or mint.
Light Summer Dining with Lemons
When the weather gets hot, you might notice that your appetite changes. An easy way to keep
meals light and nutritious is to stick to smoothies and salads. We’re here to help with some
deliciously easy recipes for you to try – both featuring our favorite citrus fruit! Honey Lemon
Salad Dressing and our Summer Lemon Smoothie.
In addition to Megan’s summer suggestions, The Limoneira Lemons for Life™ Website is chocka-block with other lemony seasonal tips such as:
Fight Voice-Harming Infections Lemon’s natural antibiotic properties make the citrus fruit a
natural remedy to fight infections that can directly effect your voice, throat, and upper
respiratory system. Keeping lemon on-hand, particularly if your summer plans include touring,
is a great natural defense to viruses and bacteria.
Boost Energy
Summer is all about being active, so keeping your energy levels up is priority number one.
Lemon is a proven natural energy-booster and can also maximize your mental clarity. We
recommend starting your day with an invigorating lemon body scrub.
Whiten Your Smile
Your smile is one of your most important features. Forget those expensive treatments, all you
need to whiten your teeth is probably sitting in your kitchen right now.
Natural Highlights
Add some lemon juice to your hair to revive the blond in your hair. This is natural and will refresh your
hair at the same time.
Repel Pesky Ants
Place 1 cup of lemon juice in a water bottle and spray around the areas you frequently see ants. This will
help repel them.
Weeds be Gone
Banish weeds for good using lemon juice. Fill up a spray bottle with 5 cups of lemon juice and two cups
of water and douse the offending plants till they’re well-coated. It should take a couple of days for them
to shrivel.
