Lemonade is a summer staple for my family… its light and refreshing flavor cools you right down, and gives you a burst of sweet and slightly tangy flavor.
Making Strawberry Lemonade Sugar-Free
Lemonade gives me such happy summer vibes - especially since I live in sunny side Florida with our homegrown citrus!
But, as you probably already know… I don’t do sugary drinks - the solution? I made my own sugar-free lemonade right at home.
But, before I get to that lemonade recipe, actually I have a fun fact for you.
Did you know that drinking a cold cup of regular lemonade to cool you down and hydrate you is a big mistake? This is because the sugar actually dehydrates you.
When you consume sweet foods and drinks, the sugar will enter the bloodstream and begins to circulate through the body. Those sugar particles then suck the water from your body's cells, depleting your internal water supply. Basically, if you’re out in the heat and looking to hydrate, regular lemonade won’t do you any favors.
Hidden Sugar in Lemonade
Drinks like fruit juice – and undoubtedly lemonade – are just sugar in sweet disguise.
Most store-bought and even homemade lemonades have a ton of added sugar in them to give them their sweeter flavor. And if you’ve seen a few of those options for sugar-free lemonade at stores? Unfortunately, most pre-made sugar-free lemonade drinks are made with artificial flavors and artificial sweeteners, with nasty side effects. Yucky, NO thank you!
So if you’re looking to enjoy lemonade as a refreshing drink, you need to get rid of that sugar. And luckily you can do that easily with my no sugar lemonade recipe that has a cooling strawberry blast twist!
Let’s make your own healthy lemonade without sugar, right at home. And even if you’re feeling all the summertime laziness, don’t worry - it only takes about five minutes.
Seriously, there is no reason not to try this sugar-free iced summer strawberry blast lemonade recipe!
Made with all natural ingredients, you've got delicious healthy lemonade without sugar!
My sugar-free iced summer strawberry blast lemonade recipe has the classic sour and sweet taste of classic lemonade, but with a flavorful fruity punch and cooling effect, that's light and hydrating (with a hint of mint).
