Low Carb Strawberry Lemonade
You guys, I have a thing for lemonade. Like, I really, really love it!!
Of course, most lemonade recipes are crammed full of sugar. No wonder they taste so good!! (Insert face palm emoji here).
Ok, well I decided that the keto thing just wasn’t going to cut it if I couldn’t have a glass of lemonade now and then. And the good news is that you CAN have lemonade…and not worry about all that sugar…because there isn’t any added to this recipe!
Our keto strawberry lemonade is made with real fruit and a special sweetener to get that delicious refreshing flavor, without all the carbs.
It’s legit and it’s pretty easy! Try doubling the recipe to make enough for a pitcher so you can always have some in the fridge when a lemonade craving hits!
