Frozen Lemonade Success

Oct 20, 2012

  I like making new things.  And I loved frozen lemonades pre-op and I know they are full of sugar.  Here's the simple way to make your at home post op sugar free yumminess::

Base recipe:

6 lemonade ice cubes - simple, make lemonade with Mio and pour into ice cubes and freeze.  I made them a little strong, knowing i would be diluting them later.  
1tbsp splenda
8 oz of water

Put in magic bullet and spin!  Adjust the water as you go - to reach the consistency you like.  Also, not enough water will make it hard for a blender to crush the ice.  I have an old style hand crank ice crusher - but I am lazy, so more water in the bullet it is!!

Here are some changes I made today to try different flavors!:

* Top with Sugar free Strawberry Preserves.  - 10 cals in a Tbsp
*  Mix in some SF Torani Cherry Lime or Mango or Peach.  I tried them all - and all were excellent!  Up next - Strawberry, I don't have it at home yet, but I can fix that easy ;)
* If you have it - mix in some Carribean Cooler protein powder for a Lemonade Colada taste.  I wish I had some of the roadside lemonade protein to try - but think that would require more torani and water to cut all the lemonade lol.  

I like finding some better alternatives for some of my favorite things.  And this worked out well for me!!
