I will look next time I go to Whole Foods to see if they might carry it. Possibly might be carried and independent health food stores also. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-87300452950169752442015-01-18T21:56:56.566-05:002015-01-18T21:56:56.566-05:00What I really want to try is that stevia syrup you...What I really want to try is that stevia syrup you have.

Not sure if you ever buy lemons from Costco, but they were unusually beautiful today so I bought a bag of them. They are unusually juicy. I will make sure to use them in the days ahead for marinade, too. <br /><br />Haha on the Orange Julius! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-80357304850706694872015-01-17T23:05:03.908-05:002015-01-17T23:05:03.908-05:00Hi GGC,

I wonder how it would work to cut the lemon in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon ... hmm, you might need the assistance of a grapefruit knife, too. Probably easier just to peel it, like you did! :-)<br /><br />Do I remember Orange Julius?

I was surprised they contacted me and didn't know they even knew Gourmet Girl Cooks existed. <br /><br />Yes, the Magic Bullet should work. The main thing is I might use crushed ice instead of cubes so you don't mess up the blades. Does your refrigerator by chance make crushed ice? If not, you can bang some with a rolling pin in a Ziploc bag. <br /><br />Also, maybe chop the pieces of lemon up in dice size instead of larger chunks. I just peeled the lemon like an orange (removing the pith, etc.). I had never peeled a lemon before today! LOL By adding the lemon flesh and not just the juice as well as the ice, it gives it a little more substance...not a smoothie quality but more like an "Orange Julius"...do you remember having those? They used to be in a lot of shopping malls. <br /><br />I've been experimenting a little with the "simple syrup" in cranberry sauce and even added some to baked goods (muffins or cookies, I can't remember). :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-31648956810417728292015-01-17T22:40:47.417-05:002015-01-17T22:40:47.417-05:00This looks absolutely delicious! i have a new Vita...This looks absolutely delicious! i have a new Vitamix that I have been experimenting with and I will be making this tomorrow.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-57419156647082254022015-01-17T21:07:07.482-05:002015-01-17T21:07:07.482-05:00Hi GGC,

I don't think I could possibly cram one more piece of equipment into my kitchen, though! (After rearranging a bit, I was able to fit the Zoodle Machine into the last few square inches of cupboard space!) So, do you think the juice could be made in the Magic Bullet and then strained if it seems too "pulpy" after blending? The NuStevia product is interesting ... I'll have to look for it.CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.com
