A refreshing low-carb lemonade filled with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sweetened with Whole Earth sweetener. A 3-ingredient keto-friendly lemonade!

Are you looking for a homemade sugar-free lemonade that tastes good and is really easy to make? This sugar-free lemonade is the recipe you’ve been looking for. It’s sweet, refreshing and only takes 5 minutes to make!

ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS!

This easy sugar-free lemonade only has 3 ingredients.

• Lemon juice – fresh is best but bottled is fine too.
• Zero-calorie sugar substitute – we used Whole Earth sweetener which is a 1:4 substitute (1 cup sweetener = 4 cups granulated sugar). You could also use Monkfruit sugar or another low carb sweetener but you may need to adjust the recipe to fit your sweetness preference.
• Water – in the form of water and ice cubes.

HOW TO MAKE SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE:

This homemade sugar-free lemonade is so easy to make. It literally only takes about 5 minutes to make and it’s a low-carb, keto-friendly drink.

You may find some lemonade recipes make a simple syrup using water and sugar that’s been boiled to help the sugar dissolve. I prefer using a blender to blend the sugar, water and lemon juice together.

Blending the lemonade mixture helps dissolve the sweetener without cooking. This makes for a very speedy process when making homemade sugar-free lemonade. This method is much quicker as you don’t have to wait for the lemonade mixture to cool before serving.

To make your own sugar-free lemonade it’s as simple as 1-2-3 in 5 minutes or less:

1. Add water, sweetener and lemon juice to your blender.
2. Blend for 1-2 minutes until sweetener is dissolved.
3. Add ice cubes and pour into serving pitcher or glasses. Enjoy!

NOTE: Check your sugar substitute for sugar to sweetener ratio. The sweetener we use is Whole Earth Sweetener which has a 1 to 4 ratio. Some sweeteners such as Monkfruit sweetener is a 1 to 1 ratio. This recipe is written with a 1 to 4 ratio in mind.

PRO TIP: Don’t over sweeten your lemonade. You can always add more sweetener but once added you can’t take it away. If in doubt, use less sweetener and taste it. If not sweet enough, add a little more at a time until desired sweetness is achieved.

CHEAPER AND BETTER THAN STORE BOUGHT SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE!

Homemade sugar-free lemonade is the perfect refreshing drink to make this summer. It’s fresh, only requires 3 ingredients and takes 5 minutes to make. No weird ingredients you can’t pronounce and it tastes great!

Sugar-free foods can be pricy when bought at the store. Skip the store and make this lemonade at home. It’s well worth the little bit of work. Here’s my price break down for how much this lemonade cost me to make.

Prices for supplies may vary depending on location and store you purchase groceries from.  I try to shop bulk food stores, use coupons, watch ads and shop sales (like case lot), buy supplies in bulk to save money in the long run and use homegrown produce and herbs when available. These are a great way to stay within my grocery budget without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.

INGREDIENTS AND COST FOR MY SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE:

• Lemons (freshly squeezed lemon juice) – $0.50
• Sugar substitute – $1.20
• Water – FREE

This recipe makes about 4 servings of sugar-free lemonade and only costs $1.70 to make at home. Not to bad for a low-carb refreshing lemonade recipe. That’s less than 45¢ a serving! Woot!

Whether you are looking to cut carbs for health reasons or just because this sugar-free lemonade is a fabulous summer drink choice. Its low carb count will appeal to those with health issues such as diabetes or others that are on a low-carb diet such as the popular Keto diet.

Print

Ingredients

• 1 cup lemon juice, fresh is best but bottled can be used
• 1/4 cup Whole Earth Sweetener, see notes if using a different zero-calorie sweetener
• 3 cups water
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups ice cubes

Instructions

1. In a blender, add water, lemon juice and sweetener.
2. Blend for 1-2 minutes until sweetener is dissolved.
3. Add ice cubes and pour into serving pitcher or glasses. Enjoy!

Notes

Whole Earth Sweetener is a stevia and Monkfruit blend zero-calorie sweetener. It has a 1 to 4 sugar substitute ratio. This means for every 1 cup of sugar you would use in a recipe, you only use 1/4 cup of this sweetener. If you choose to use a sweetener that has a 1 to 1 ratio, increase the amount of sweetener to 1 cup. If making this recipe with regular sugar you would do the same (add 1 cup rather than 1/4 cup).

PRO TIP: Don't over sweeten your lemonade. You can always add more sweetener but once added you can't take it away. If in doubt, use less sweetener and taste it. If not sweet enough, add a little more at a time until desired sweetness is achieved.
