Those who are on a low carb diet will find that drinking the proper liquids is very tricky. Many of the drinks sold on the market today are full of sugars and artificial flavors, and drinking them will be in violation of your diet, as it restricts the consumption of large amounts of sugar. It should also be noted that alcohol is not allowed in low carb diets. Other than water, what other beverages are you allowed to consume on the low carb diet? There are many drinks available, and I will go over a couple of them here. The first is lemonade.
When I talk about lemonade, I’m not talking about the sugar filled stuff that you would normally drink. This lemonade is virtually free of sugar, and drinking it will allow you to continue following your diet. Most importantly, it tastes great. The three ingedients you will need are two cups of water, one lemon, and one pack of spenda. Lemon juice may also be used as a substitute of the lemon. Once you collected all these ingredients, you will want to boil the water. Once the water starts to boil, you will want to add the lemon juice, or if you have a lemon, you could put a portion of it in the water.
You will want to let it boil for about two minutes, and then you will want to pour it in a glass. Add some ice to cool it down, and then add the spenda. You will have a great tasting drink that is virtually free of sugar. You cold think of it as a low carb diet friendly lemonade. The next drink you can make is a root beer float. This is an authentic root beer float, and it will not be in violation of your diet. The ingredients are one half c Atkins Vanilla, and some root beer from A&W. This drink only has 13 grams of carbohydrates, and it tastes excellent.
Another drink that you will want to try is the smoothie with tofu. The ingredients you will need for this drink are one big box of Jello that is sugar free, one box of tofu, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. The tofu can either be hard or soft. You will want to follow the directions for making the Jello, and you will then want to mix the tofu and lemon juice via a blender. This can make about five smoothies. It is an excellent drink.
