Default Does anyone drink Minute Maid Light or Tropicana Light Lemonade?

I think I read there are forbidden things in it. It is only 2g carbs a can. Tastes
great. Think it's okay? I hope so.

I drink maybe one or so a week just as a treat because I was missing lemonade like crazy. Hasn't caused any problems for me. But I wouldn't go and drink them all day long either. Think they are aspertame sweetened. I hate all those sweeteners but sometimes there seems no way around getting them.

Hi Elsah -

I have a secret lemonade trick for you. My aunt does this at restaurants all the time. In a tall 16 oz glass of water, squeeze 1/2 a lemon into it and add a packet of splenda. It is so good and freshing. Of course you could make real lemonade with splenda, but it adds a bit more lemon juice.

I haven't tried them since for me I don't like aspertame. I drink the bottled Crystal Light if I want lemonade since they use splenda. I have gotten so used to water, that I don't drink much else very often.

Thanks cindy. I do use stuff like that as well. I also always have a pitcher of celestial seasons tea made usually with fresh lemon and lime slices too I just sometimes crave something that resembles more of the real thing... Actually what I miss even more than the lemonade right now is the lime one i used to buy in the frozen section in the grocery store. YUM YUM YUM. I think it's just the baby (pregnant) though. I want to cover everything I eat in lime at the moment whether it's fish, chickpeas, salad, tea, etc. >> OOOH I am fighting off the key lime pie blues as well<<
