One of my favorite drinks to order as a kid was strawberry lemonade. I loved the sweetness mixed with the tartness of the lemon. It’s easy to make a sugar-free, keto strawberry lemonade. Both lemon and strawberries are allowed on the keto diet as they are lower in carbs. For sweetness, you can add your favorite keto replacement for sugar.This keto lemonade was made for front porch sipping on a hot summer day.
Yes, you can have lemons on the keto diet. I generally use a squirt of lemon juice while cooking to add a little bit of acidity to a recipe. Lemons only have 3.4 grams net carbs in one lemon, so you can have them if you are keto.
Since strawberries are a keto approved fruit, they don’t have very many carbohydrates in them compared to other fruits. Strawberries have 8.7 net carbs per cup of chopped berries. This recipe calls for about 2 cups of berries for the entire pitcher of keto strawberry lemonade, so you aren’t getting that many carbs per serving from the berries.
I really liked this drink. I used swerve and it tasted really good.
If I want to use liquid allulose, can you tell me how much I should use or do I just keep pouring it in to taste?
