Notes
- I'm making limeade today, but you can obviously make lemonade instead with lemon juice instead of lime juice
- Fresh squeezed limes (or lemons) are recommended. If you are to use bottled though, opt for a lime (or lemon) juice that is 100% juice not from concentrate
- This limeade is sugar free, being sweetened with liquid monk fruit. A standard limeade or lemonade sweetened with sugar would have 110 calories with 27 g of added sugar per 1 cup (240 g)
