Thirsty Thursday: Passionfruit lemonade

Image
     I found this recipe online. It's a great treat especially while dieting! A glass is only about 20 calories and makes a great summertime treat. Plus it's a knock off of Starbucks so you'll save some money too. And what Diva doesn't love a bargain? Ingredients: Tazo Passion Tea Low Calorie Lemonade (I use Minute maid LIGHT  pink lemonade) Nectresse  (or other sweetener) First make the Passion Tea concentrate: Brew two bags of  tea for every 8oz of water. Let the tea bags steep for 10-15 minutes. Then place it in the fridge to chill. Then, put your concentrate in the fridge and chill it. Once it's cooled:  mix 2 parts tea to 1 part lemonade. I usually add a little splash extra lemonade so use your own tastes to guide you.  Then added one packet of Nectresse, of course if you prefer sweeter use two. Mix with a spoon and Enjoy!

     So you may be wondering what am I gonna do for Tasty Tuesdays? Well if you didn't know I know how to cook. Also my Father owner a Restaurant when I was growing up. So yes I was always around food. Hence for my need for Weightloss Wednesday...         Well I'm gonna start my Tasty Tuesday with a recipe for something I've been craving: Avocado chicken salad:  This is a healthier alternative to Chicken salad.
