Low Carb Flu Berry Lemonade
Make this Keto flu recipe as a quick pick-me-up or make it in larger batches to help you get through your Keto flu symptoms. The combination of ingredients creates electrolytes, which act just like a sports drink. This lemonade will help your blood circulation, muscle cramping, and energy levels.
Why add berries to this electrolyte beverage?
A berry puree is included in the lemonade not only for the flavor but to add extra antioxidants and Vitamin C to the drink. Although you don’t want to add sugar to your diet, the natural sugars from the berries may also help you feel better while your body adjusts to Ketosis. Even if you’re not experiencing Keto flu symptoms, this is a great Keto lemonade drink to enjoy any day during any time of year.
How does a Keto flu drink work?
Keto flu symptoms are a sign that your body needs electrolytes. In order to create electrolytes, you need an acid, a base, and sodium. In this recipe, the vinegar and lemon juice are the acids, water is the base, and the pink salt provides sodium. By including berries, you’re also adding antioxidants to your drink.
When to drink a Keto flu lemonade?
If you are new to the Keto diet or starting your diet up again, you are likely to experience Keto flu symptoms. If you wake up in the morning feeling more fatigued than energized, you should have a glass of this lemonade recipe. If you’re feeling too nauseous to eat or exercise, that is also a sign you need to drink a Keto flu lemonade. Make a batch of this lemonade to drink a glass throughout the week when you’re first starting your Keto diet.

0.5 tsp

Recipe Steps
steps 3
15 min
Step 1
Add frozen berries, water, apple cider vinegar, and erythritol to a small pot over the stove and heat with a lid on until the berries thaw and break down. When the berries are soft enough to mash with the back of a fork, you can remove the pot from the stove and use an immersion hand blender to puree the berries or puree the berries in a food processor. After pureeing the berries, push them through a sieve to remove the pulp and seeds.Step 2
Pour the berry puree onto a dish and set it in your refrigerator to thicken and chill. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze all the juice from both halves into a glass, then pour 8-12 ounces of water into the lemon juice, depending on how strong you like your lemonade. Stir liquid stevia and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt into the lemonade, then taste and adjust the sweetness and salt to your liking.Step 3
To assemble the lemonade, pour the chilled berry puree into the base of a 12-ounce glass. Fill it with ice, being careful not to splatter the puree. Slowly pour your lemonade into the glass, letting the berry puree infuse the drink. You may also choose to stir the lemonade and berry puree together into one purple drink.

Ok. Make this, had to try. Excellent. Told hubby it was raspberry lemonade. He hates vinegar! He liked the lemonade! A keeper!

Every time I see this on my meal plan I read it blueberry instead of flu berry. LoL. Love it to replace the plain vinegar.
