Sugar Free Skinny Limeade

Happy almost Memorial Day guys!

Today’s recipe is for very easy and sugar free skinny limeade.

I’ve always loved homemade lemonade and I make it all the time.

To be honest though – the amount of sugar you need for a few cups of lemonade makes me worried  at times.

I can tell you – there are way better ways to consume my sugar, like this cheesecake for example.

I really wanted to try and make naturally flavored limeade (lemonade) and a while back I got some Stevia.

Since I like my coffee/tea unsweetened, I knew I’m going to use it for some sweet drinks, like this limeade.

Skinny Limeade

You do need to be extra careful, when using Stevia, because adding too much will cause your drink have bitter aftertaste.

Not a fan of natural sweeteners, it is totally fine!

You can make some simple syrup with sugar and use it instead.

Truvia could also be substituted.

I’m not trying to say that one is better than the other, there are various opinions and believes on natural sweeteners.

I’m just trying to give you a zero calorie option for one of my favorite summer drinks.

This is the perfect drink to serve at your Memorial Day Party, and also all summer long!

Add some fresh berries, to infuse the taste and make the drink look pretty!
