Healthy Sugar-Free “Sprite”

July 9, 2018 By elviira 12 Comments

Fed up with sugar-laden sodas or diet lemonades filled with junk sweeteners? I hear you! That’s why I developed this easy Healthy Sugar-Free “Sprite” (or “7 Up”) copycat: it’s so refreshing, and in the healthiest possible way.

This recipe is so simple I’m almost ashamed to post it, but on the other hand, that’s what I’m all about, right? — simple recipes. Besides, this drink is so good that it would have been shameful to keep the recipe all to myself! Our family totally fell in love with it, and everybody swears it tastes just like Sprite! This is definitely going to be our go-to drink for the rest of this summer.

In this lassi variation, America meets India. The flavors of lime and coconut are tied together with yogurt and gently sweetened. Crushed ice is added and a delicious, slushy drink is ready in blender in no time.

Welcome to the day three of the low-carb lassi week! It gets exotic today! In fact, for Indian people the combination of rose water and cardamom is very familiar (which I found out after I had tried that flavor combination first myself…), but for me as a Finn these flavors are new and totally fascinating.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the drinks get colder and colder. To celebrate the early summer and my recovery, I decided to have a lassi week, which means that during the next seven days, I’ll publish daily an exciting low-carb lassi recipe!

As you know, lassi is a popular Indian drink. It has numerous tasty and nourishing variations. These low-carb lassi versions are mild and easy to sip rather than those thick, dessert-type drinks. These revitalizing beverages are fantastic with spicy food, or as light refreshments on a hot summer day.

Let’s start with the very basic version which is great for any occasion, with or without food!
