KETO Lemonade (Boosts the Immune System, Energizes & Detoxifies)

Very refreshing & healthy.
Ingredients:
1 whole lemon
4 cups cold water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
10 - 16 drops liquid monkfruit sweetener, or sweetener of choice  (optional)
ice (optional)

Method:
Cut the lemon (peel and all) into 8 sections. Add the cut lemon, olive oil and sweetener to a blender. Blend for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Strain the liquid and discard the leftover pulp and seeds. If desired, serve over ice. Makes 4 servings.

Nutritional info per serving without alcohol:
65-5 calories ~ 7 grams fat ~ 1.35 grams net carbs ~ .2 grams protein

Notes:
This makes a delicious and refreshing lemonade with several possible health benefits:
1. Energizes
2. Boosts the immune system
3. Gently detoxifies the liver
4. Aids the lymphatic system

 If you are not consuming this beverage to detoxify your liver, tequila or rum can be blended with the lemonade. (Even though tequila, rum, whiskey and vodka have zero carbs and are permitted, in moderation, on a KETO plan, they do slow down weight loss. Also, you may become intoxicated quicker and experience a more severe hangover. So, I prefer my KETO lemonade without hard liquor.)
