Taste of Thyme: Good & Good for You Food

This was shared at my Monday Weight Watcher meeting. I made it on Tuesday and it was refreshing and 0 points! LIMEADE 1 cup water 1 cup splenda 1 cup lime juice (or lemon)* 6 cups cold water Mix the water and splenda in a microwave safe glass. Micorwave on high until the splenda is completely melted. Combine everything and chill. It took me 7 limes with my citrus juicer to get one cup.

Although Margaritas are not a low calorie option when comes to beverages, this is a real crowd pleaser! I make this, chill and put into pitchers. Everyone drinks it over ice, but you can shake it and pour it into martini glasses too. 24 oz frozen limeade 36 oz of water 12 oz light beer 12 oz can 7 UP 6 oz Triple Sec 18 oz Tequila Mix and chill. 12 9 oz servings

Summer is a great time to relax and have a drink or two with friends. With summer approaching quickly and now that I am spending more time outside at cafes or in the yard, I have come up with a simple summer drink that is easy on the calories and points and refreshing too. White Wine Cocktail 2 oz of a crisp chilled white wine (not Chardonay) 1 wedge of lime or lemon 4 - 6 oz of lime or lemon sparkling water ice Squeeze a wedge of lemon or lime into a large wine glass. Fill the glass with ice. Pour in the wine and the sparkling water (water flavor to match the fruit used). Can garnish with a fresh strawberry if desired. And this is only 1 point!
