Welcome to Simply Sugarless, our monthly sugar-free recipe column written by Starr Struck's own Sara Meeks. Once per month, Sara picks a "regular" recipe and adapts it into a sugar-free version of that same recipe using only natural sweeteners (fruit, sweet veggies, etc.). A perfect option for those trying to eat less added sugar on a daily basis. Take it away, Sara... It’s summer! And what says summer more than lemonade? Of course, lemonade means a bunch [a ton?] of sugar and I don’t know about you, but I would much rather meet my sugar quota by eating delicious strawberry shortcake than drinking a beverage. I know this recipe still calls for a good amount of juice, but I choose to believe that naturally-occurring sugar trumps added/refined sugar any day. I hope you find some time to enjoy this sweet + sour treat this summer, preferably while savoring the sunshine... SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE SLUSH Prep time: 10 minutes Yield: About 1 liter (or about 4.25 cups) Ingredients: 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (two large lemons) 2 cups no-sugar-added white grape juice 2 cups ice 1 tsp lemon zest (from one of the two lemons) Directions:
Extra notes:
{Created by modifying this recipe.} What a fun treat, huh? Perfect for kiddos and adults!
Also, the college girl in me can't help but mention that if you wanted a sugar-free "adult beverage," I'm sure you could throw your favorite alcohol into the blender and it would be delicious...
