Summer has arrived early this year, bringing with it scorching temperatures and intense humidity. It’s crucial for us to stay hydrated and incorporate refreshing fluids into our diets to combat the heat and maintain our well-being.
However, when following a Keto diet, it’s essential to be mindful of the beverages we choose during summer. To help you beat the heat while staying in line with your Keto lifestyle, I’ve prepared a delightful treat: a Keto version of Frozen Mint Lemonade.
This invigorating drink not only keeps you feeling fresh, but also helps cool and soothe your stomach.
This Frozen Mint Lemonade combines the refreshing flavors of lemon and mint, perfectly sweetened with stevia. It’s a fantastic thirst-quencher that will keep you cool and hydrated during those hot summer days.
The best part that I love about this recipe is, you only need four ingredients, which are commonly found in any Indian kitchen.
Now, let’s dive into the recipe and make this rejuvenating Keto-friendly drink
