Stevia, the truly natural sweetener,is so healthy! Truvia is one of the brand names using the Stevia plant as well as Sweet Leaf and others. Stevia also comes in a liquid form and is so powerful, it only takes a few drops. When making a large pitcher of lemonade you may want to try the drops - they go a long way! Thanks for sharing to get the word out about this truly natural sweetener.

I've been making "ARnold Palmer" . it is 1/2 crystal light lemonade and 1/2 crystal light iced tea. I\ve had a pitcher ready every day for a few days now. Even my hubby drinks it for supper I find it quite helpful right before supper when I start to get the "snackies".

I always add lemmon juice to my water. I have the lemmon juice package which I walk with when going out, so I can add one to a bottle of water.During the summer I would add two packages because the temperature is hotter. This helps to keep you cooler.

To lose weight, don't drink pop, diet or otherwise. It expands your stomach walls. IF you drink, make sure : no carbonation and no more than 8 grams of sugar in the ingredients. Minute Maid Light Lemonade & Cherry Limeade with ICE....0 sugar, 5 calories. So next time you get thirsty? Check that out OR Fuze Slenderize 10 calories 1g sugar, or Lifewater, check to see what the sugar is in it. So other than coffee or tea, those are great options.

Tropicanna also makes Lemonade Light as well.
I love to put lemon or a drink mix called Pure Lemon(its dehydrated lemon) into water, but it can be a tad bitter. I add one packet of Splenda to a 16 oz bottle of water to make a super low calorie lemonade that tastes better than any other lemonade(thats reasonable on calories)91
I carry in my purse single packet's of sugar free lemonade. I don't drink soda and prefer sugar free drinks. Some restaurants don't carry sugar free lemonades or tea's so if I have to add my singles packet to my water I save money and calories.
MORE INFORMATION:
Thinking ahead will save both money and calories. Watch your wallet and watch what you drink. Keep it low cal.
