Keto Sweeteners for Sugar Free Lemonade

The strawberries do contribute to some sweetness in this recipe. You could opt for no sweetener in this strawberry lemonade recipe if you wanted a less sweet and more tart verison.But if you are like me and need a little sweet in your life without the sugar, then you can add a sugar-free keto sweetener. In this iced beverage recipe, I recommend using a powdered keto sweetener. It dissolves better than granulated sweetener. You can use monkfruit, erythritol, allulose or stevia.Popular keto sweeteners like Lakanto and Swerve are the most commonly used keto sugar replacers out there. They measure cup for cup like sugar; except the Lakanto powdered monkfruit is a 2:1 ratio with sugar so you will only need to add half the amount of recommended sweetener. Stevia and allulose you may have to add in a little at a time to get your desired level of sweetness in this keto lemonade recipe.
