Handy Low-Calorie Sippers


Looking for a diet friendly drink? Pull out your handy kitchen blender and you’re well on your way to whipping up refreshing, mouthwatering and wholesome low-calorie healthy drinks that all are certain to enjoy.

Cantaloupe Cream

Seed and cube one small cantaloupe and blend until smooth. Add about three tablespoons of sugar and mix for another minute. Pour over ice into tall glasses and serve. Mmmmmm!

Fruit-tastic

Combine two cups strawberries (remove the leaves), two chopped ripe bananas, two peeled and chopped kiwis, one cup of orange juice and one eight-ounce container of strawberry yogurt. Blend until smooth. Why not also experiment with other types of fruit?

Ginger-Lemon Tea
And low-carb drink recipes aren’t only for those sunny summertime days! Invite a few friends over to sip ginger-lemon tea and gaze out the window at a blanket of snow and the frost on the ground. Here’s the recipe:

Combine six cups water, one two-inch piece of fresh ginger (freshly-sliced) and eight lemon peel strips (cut to 2 ½ x 1 inch each) in a saucepan and boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove ginger and lemon peel. Place six green tea bags into a teapot and pour in your water mixture. Cover and steep for up to three minutes. Remove teabags and serve. Garnish each cup with lemon slices, if desired. Perfect to take the chill off of any winter’s day!

Go low-carb year-round and you’ll be doing your body a huge favor. In doing so, you’re taking giant leaps towards feeling and looking your absolute best!

Try the cantelope cream folks, it's to die for!!! I made a bit of a change when I fixed mine though, I used splenda instead of sugar for one thing and the 2nd time I made it, I tossed in some vanilla yogurt so that it was more of a smoothie snack talk about good---if you like melon you'll LOVE this.
