Question

When on a diet what is a good cold refreshing drink that isn't diet or crystal lite? I luv limes & lemons, too

Answer 1

Slice oranges and lemons and place in a glass pitcher add  ice and cold water. I had this in a hotel and it was delish!

You could also make your own lemonade or limeade. Squeeze limes or lemons and add sparkling water and if you want it sweet add a little splenda or nutrasweet.

Answer 2

Water is always good reguardless of if you are on a diet. Many people love putting lemon or limes in their water too. It gives it some flavor and some nutrients from the fruit. Good all the way around.

Also for diets you may want to have some Green Tea and some Grapefruit juice.

Good luck.

Answer 3

WATER is very good and cold when on a deit it actaully helps u lose wieght faster. u coud just add a slice of lemon or lime and there u go a perfect drink

Answer 4

My favorite are Agua Frescas, just fresh sliced fruit or veggies in filtered water, a squeeze of lime or lemon or orange and maybe a little sugar or Splenda (no calories) if you really need it, I usually don't...

Here are some recipes:

Cucumber or Strawberry Mint

1/2 cup Thin Sliced Cucumber or Strawberries

2 or 3 Springs of Mint

Cold Filter Water

1 quart Glass Pitcher (its pretty this way)

1 tbsp of lime

1 packet of raw sugar or sweetner (optional)

Mix together in glass pitcher and let sit for at least six hours.

Auga de Melon

2 cups diced cantaloupe or water melon chilled

pinch of coriander

20 fresh mint leaves

1 quart still water

Mix in a Blender, serve over ice...

With water, blender, fresh fruit, citus and ice the possibilities are endless, try some of the others from websites I gave you

Answer 5

I agree with the first answer - ice water with slices/wedges of lemons or limes in it but you could also have unsweetened Ice Tea with lemon or a fruit Iced Tea like Raspberry Iced Tea served over frozen raspberries and ice or Passion Fruit Iced Tea over ice, both with a wedge of lemon.

Answer 6

Water with lemon or lime slices in it is pretty obvious. Watermelon in the blender with some water, lime juice, cranberry or anything else that strikes your fancy with some ice make a great cooler during the summer months. Banana and/or yogurt turns it into a smoothie.
