Kool Aid

[bonadl]

Unsweetened kool aid with 1/2 cup splenda is my absolute favorite.

I feel like i'm being bad when i drink it because it doesn't taste any different from real kool aid to me! Plus there are plenty of flavors to choose from, including lemonade which i have been desperately missing...

However, as always, it doesn't count towards your water totals, so make sure you drink enough water too!!!

and make sure you count each serving that would be 8 ounces as a serving of splenda in your induction daily limit of 3 servings from all sources of sweeteners.

what about just sugar free kool aid... can i drink that?

Aspartame

You can have sugar-free kool aid, but it contains aspartame, which can slow weight loss.

What is the carb count?

I have a question for this thread...of course I'm seeing this a bit late...so hopefully people are still visiting it enough for me to get a response. If you are using 1/2 a cup...is it still sweet enough? I was understanding that you should measure out Splenda cup for cup like sugar...and KoolAid asks for 1 cup sugar...so that's what I put in of Splenda. I think I figured that that would make each 8oz glass 6 carbs....which sucks. Am I right in the figuring?

I have always used half the amount of sugar called for when making kool-aid and it has been plenty sweet for me...

Re: Kool Aid

The tropical punch unsweetened contains cornstarch, and all the other flavors contain maltodexitrin. The lemon lime and cherry seem to be free of both of these ingredients. So they may be a better alternative.
