    I've been drinking miracle fruit lemonade and limeade today

    What do you guys think of this stuff? Berries that make everything sour taste sweet.



    I got the dehydrated tablet version off amazon last year, bought some lemons and limes for cooking yesterday and just remembered I had them today.

    I squeeze a big lemon into a jar, then fill it up with water, and let a miracle fruit tablet dissolve on my tongue, then drink up

    pretty awesome. both lemons and limes are delicious this way. Tastes exactly like lemonade/limeade!

    Sounds like chemicals and sugars. What does it contain?

      nothing - it's a berry found in nature.

      the dehydrated tablets just have 1 ingredient, dehydrated <whatever the actual fruit name is i cant remember at this hour>

          How amazing!! I've always wanted to try miracle fruit. Good to hear that the tablets work just as well as the (expensive) fresh fruits. Just... don't forget to count the carbs in the lemonade.

            Personally I think I'd wait until the berry rung to try this since the only ingredient is a berry...

                Wow, I'd like to try that. I've never heard of it and of course the FDA would get involved.

                  It is interesting to hear that the tablets do work as advertised

                  As Lolita said, remember to count the carbs from the lemon/lime juice as well as sticking to the special category 'allowance' of 2-3 tablespoons per day.
                  Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
