Today I wanted to share a refreshing summer recipe for a sweet + simple summer lemonade! And... it's sugar-free!
Thanks to stevia as a sweetener, you can enjoy this version of lemonade while keeping your blood sugar steady! I would even call this a detox drink! It's nice to make a batch ahead of time and then have them ready-to-go in mason jars when you open the fridge!
- 1 cup lemon juice (5-6 lemons)
- 5 cups water
- 30 drops liquid stevia (I used NuNaturals' lemon flavored liquid stevia... I love that there is no bitter aftertaste!)
- optional: 1 lemon, sliced, for garnish
Directions:
Juice the lemons. In a large pitcher, mix water with the stevia drops and lemon juice. Simple! Garnish with lemon slices. Enjoy!

What are the Health Benefits of Lemons?
The health benefits of lemons that have been known for centuries! They are antibacterial, antiviral, and have immune-boosting properties. Lemon juice is considered a weight-loss aid, as it's a digestive aid and liver cleanser. Lemons contain many substances--notably citric acid, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and limonene-- all of which promote immunity and fight infection.
Have an excellent day!
