CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Freezy-Cool Lemon Slushie
Lemony Sip-It!
No need to battle the bees (and calories) at carnivals or amusement parks.
We swapped sinfully sugary frozen lemonade for an equally sweet guilt-free
recipe. Start blending, lemon-lovers! P.S. This also ROCKS when made with
pink lemonade mix!
Ingredients:
2 tsp. Crystal Light Lemonade powdered drink mix (2 On The Go packets or
1/2 of a tub)
1 tsp. fat-free powdered non-dairy creamer (like Coffee-mate Original Fat
Free)
1 1/2 cups crushed iced or 8 - 10 ice cubes
Directions:
Dissolve creamer in 1/4 cup warm water, and mix well. Add 1 1/4 cups cold
water and Crystal Light. Mix well. Place mixture in a blender with the ice.
Blend at high speed until thoroughly blended. (If using ice cubes, start with
half of the ice. Stop blending occasionally to add a cube or two, and then
continue blending -- repeat until desired consistency is reached.) Pour into a
tall glass, and then spoon and/or sip your way to lemon satisfaction! (Pssst...
for an even slushier and less liquidy consistency, place in the freezer for
about 20 minutes before enjoying!) MAKES 1 SERVING

FIGHT IT!
Frozen Lemonade, Average
Sour Loser
If kids sold this frozen, sugar-packed version of lemonade at neighborhood
stands, we'd be tempted to send them all to their rooms without supper (HG's
most severe form of punishment!). The fact that this stuff is so popular at
carnivals and fairs should immediately tell you it's not exactly guilt-free.
Frozen lemonade's BFFs are typically punks and hoodlums like funnel cake,
corndogs and fried Twinkies! With nearly 300 calories per serving, these
chilly citrus concoctions clearly give lemons a bad name. Lay the blame on
the high-as-a-roller-coaster amounts of sugar, corn syrup and sometimes
even oil (eww!). Steer clear of this frozen fiasco, and the next time life hands
you lemons, make HG's Freezy-Cool Lemon Slushie instead...
