Refreshing Raspberry Lemonade {Sugar-Free}

Lemonade on a hot day is just so refreshing. It brings back childhood memories of summertime spent in the pool or at the summer camp. However, a tasty lemonade usually requires loads of sugar. When I was daydreaming about a cool lemonade, Chia fresca came to my mind. This delicious drink with coconut water and lime juice is just naturally sweet. I thought using coconut water could be a great way to get a sugar-free lemonade!

Raspberry Lemonade with Coconut Water {Sugar-Free}

I took out my lemons and squeezed all the juice out. I added some mashed raspberries for a beautiful pink lemonade and poured loats of coconut water. The result is a thirst quenching and refreshing drink that is packed with electrolytes and free of sugar. In addition, it is super simple to make and you only need 3 ingredients!

I love to pour some of the lemonade in Mason jars, leave them in the fridge and you can bring it with you at picnics! I love using Mason jars for picnics!
