Sugar Free Strawberry Lemonade
Hello Friends!
Ice cold fresh squeezed lemonade is the nostalgic hydrator of hot summer days.
I've been making homemade lemonade since the boys were running around the neighborhood and have been vigilant about unnecessary sugar since before they were born.
Most lemonade recipes are loaded with processed white sugar but not this one!
Increased inflammation and higher risk factors for a variety of diseases are directly associated with sugar intake.
In order to cut back on the sugar and natural sweeteners my family consumes, I use stevia. It's an all-natural sweetener that my body doesn't have a problem digesting.
With the holiday weekend upon us, a refreshing pitcher of Strawberry Lemonade sans sugar with a vitamin C punch will have you celebrating the all natural way!
Everyone I know is looking for the best zero calorie, low carb, keto sweetener. However, I don't believe in one size fits all diets or dietary ingredients. Learn more about my sweetener of choice below.
Health Tip of the Day
The Best Keto Sweetener
We all have a unique biochemical makeup, which means our bodies react differently to the same stimuli. In other words, what works for you may not work for me, and vice versa. Finding the best sweetener for you is a process.
The market is saturated with sugar free zero calorie sweeteners, but buyer beware. The sugar alcohols contained in products like Lakanto and Swerve are corn-based, which are difficult to break down and highly allergenic.
Xylitol is a healthier option. Unfortunately, this sugar alcohol is extremely hard for me to digest. If you have been following me for a while, you know how important gut health is to overall well-being!
Personally, I found the best sweetener for my gut health, along with the Keto Diet, is stevia. It doesn't cause digestive distress in its pure form because it does not contain inflammatory ingredients like corn, erythritol, and other highly processed items. If you have an autoimmune disorder, it may be perfect for you too!
