I’ve been blending up a lot of this sugar-free lemonade this summer, because it’s delicious, so refreshing in the hot weather, and is much healthier than the ubiquitous sugar-laden lemonades.

The health benefits of sugar-free lemonade

This energizing, immune-boosting sugar-free lemonade is a sensational sip.

Amped up with vitamin C, lemon juice is an immunity idol that neutralizes acidic wastes, while citric acid stimulates enzymes and dissolves oxalates to aid digestion. Armed with an arsenal of alkaline buffer minerals and B vitamins, this citrus star also strengthens fat-metabolizing enzymes in the liver, flushes toxins from the blood, calms inflammation, builds collagen, and maintains healthy mucus membranes.

Pineapple is a brilliant natural sweetener for sugar-free lemonade. Containing manganese, thiamine (B1), and bromelain, pineapple aids energy production. Bromelain helps the vitamin C in lemon to suppress coughs, loosen mucus, flush out toxins, reduce swelling and bloating, and stimulate circulation.

Ginger not only adds a great back-end kick, it contains natural antibiotic agents to fight infections. The gingerol calms inflammation to relieve pain and swelling, and stimulates the lymphatic system to help sweat out toxins. Ginger can also help settle the stomach, and alleviate nausea, gas, and bloating.

This lemonade gets frothy – don’t be alarmed.

One thing to note about this sugar-free lemonade is that pineapple gets frothy when you blend it. Don’t be alarmed.

Transfer the lemonade to a sealed container and chill in the fridge for a few hours. The suds will settle.

FRUIT-SWEETENED LEMONADE

This FRUIT-SWEETENED LEMONADE utlizes fresh pineapple and looks and tastes like regular lemonade without the refined sugar. Yes, pineapple is high in natural fruit sugar. But, it contains fiber and lots of other nutrients that support health. The stevia is optional depending on the ripeness of your pineapple. With really ripe pineapple you don't need to add any sweetener. For those of you opposed to stevia, try monk fruit or birch xylitol.
