My husband always orders some sort of lemonade when we go out to eat. I was shocked when I found out the typical glass of restaurant lemonade has 180 calories per glass and he gets about 4 refills. Scary. So when I found this recipe I was thrilled. For only 27 calories he can have a huge glass and my kids like it too. Of course as with all things sweet, drink in moderation. You can swap out the fruit for something else. Also, we like it chunky so if you do, don't blend the strawberries all the way.
1/4 to 1/2 cup water (depending on how sweet you like it)
scant 1/2 teaspoon sugar-free lemonade powdered drink mix (or half of a 2-serving pkt) such as crystal light or wylers
1 no calorie sweetener packet, like Truvia
4 frozen unsweetened strawberries
3 to 5 ice cubes
1 cup diet lemon-lime soda, cold
In a blender add water, drink mix, sweetener, strawberries and ice. Blend to the consistency you like pour into a tall glass and add the soda. (The original recipe tells you to put it all in a blender, but I like the soda to still have some fizz so I add it later because the blender takes all that out.)
