I am always looking for something new to drink and found this link which RJ spoke about in her blog.
There are some great recipes here -- think I'm gonna give the "pink punch" a go

Hey DeeB...would love to dive in, but yikes -- most of the recipes seem to be overloaded w/sugar. Still, I love all the different options. I suppose some modification is in order... :specs:

Kirova, I have successfully managed to substitute the sugar for Xylitol or in some cases just a dribble of honey.

I think every AF drink deserves a little brollie:-D

Orange Cream Sodas

2 cups OJ
2 pints vanilla fat free frozen yougurt
3 cups club soda.

This makes a big 3 qt. pitcher. I made it for Mother's day brunch, everyone loved it. Not overly sweet

Here's a yummy one that Jane Jane shared a long time ago under the recipe thread for "Faux Sangria". I now use "Stevia" for a sweetener because it is completely derived from an herb which is good for you. Supermarkets are now carrying it next to the Splenda and the brand we have is called "Truvia."

FAUX SANGRIA

6 cups boiling water
3 Lemon Zinger tea bags
3 Mint tea bags
1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
1/c cup Splenda (or Truvia)
I can diet Gingerale or lemon-lime soda

Bring the water to a boil and add tea bags. Let steep for five minutes. Add sweetner and cranberry juice. Pour into a pitcher. To serve, fill an ice tea glass with ice. Fill half of glass with tea-cranberry mixture. Fill the rest up with diet gingerale or lemon-lime soda. Very refreshing! (I have also experimented with other flavors of tea such as blueberry and orange).

Stevia? I've never heard of that before.... thanks Prest, I'm going to look out for it at the health store cause the Xylitol is starting to get quite pricey.

Stevia is an herb that is sweet. That sounds really good, Allie!

DeeBee,
Stevia is pretty pricey too, but I think it's worth it for the peace of mind to finally have found a no calorie, no carb sweetener that is GOOD for me.

Here is a link to one of my favorite websites. This girl is a master at coming up with and re-creating fantastic comfort food recipes and making them healthy and taking most of the fat out. On her page where people ask her questions, she has a whole write up on Stevia/ Truvia. While you're there... look around.. another addiction...lol
