Cutting the Sugar but Keeping The Flavor of Fresh Lemonade
lemons a total super food that keep your Ph in balance
Who doesn't like a nice tall glass of lemonade on a hot Summer day or any day for that matter. Lemons are super rich in vitamin C as well as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Aside from a wealth of vitamins and minerals, lemons can also improve acid alkali pH balance in our system which can protect us against infection and cancer. The only problem is the Lemonade contains about six heaping tablespoons of white sugar per serving. That pretty much negates all the awesome benefits plus it results in our kids running around like a bunch of banshees high on sugar. I am going to show you how to make lemonade without all the added sugar but retaining all the benefits that lemons have to offer. Check it out.
Directions: If you are going to use ginger. Heat water, Steviva Brand Stevia Powder or a 1/4 cup of Fructevia,Steviva Brand Stevia Blendand ginger root together until boiling.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
Let it sit and cool for 20 minutes or so, then remove the ginger root.
If you are going to make regular lemonade like what is in the video simply add 3 small scoops of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder or a 1/4 cup of Fructevia,Steviva Brand Stevia Blend and 1 cups lemon juice to 2 quarts water in a pitcher.
Add ice, stir and chill lemonade before serving.

Ok… this isn't exact Low Carb but, all things in moderation, right? One of my favorite restaurants PeemKaew Thai has these on their menu and it is a perfect appetizer that isn't fried, has a lot of fresh veggies and is delicious. You can substitute tofu, cooked chicken or beef in place of the shrimp. And the peanut sauce can be used as a dressing for salads. Tasty!
Ingredients: 8 ounces package rice vermicelli 8 ounces cooked, peeled shrimp, cut in half lengthwise or Tofu 8 rice wrappers (6.5 inch diameter) 1 carrot, julienne cut 1 cup shredded lettuce 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil Water as needed
Directions: Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Remove from heat. Place rice vermicelli in boiling water, remove from heat, and let soak 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
Fill a large bowl with hot water. Dip one rice wrapper in the hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat, and place desired amounts of noodles, shrimp, carrot, lettuce and basil in the center. Roll the edges of the wrapper slightly inward. Beginning at the bottom edge of wrapper, tightly wrap the ingredients. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Set these finished rolls aside in the refrigerator for a minute while you prepare the Peanut Sauce.

Creme Brulee or "burnt cream" is a satiny custard. It is served chilled yet glistens with a crisp caramelized sugar top, which when tapped with the back of a dessert spoon, shatters like glass, revealing that cool, vanilla-infused custard hidden beneath. While you can certainly use Steviva Brand Stevia Blend or Steviva Brand Stevia Powder with this Creme Brulee recipe it is best made with Fructevia. Fructevia is the only all natural sugar substitute that browns and forms the crispy layer atop the custard. Making this recipe will shock (because of no added sugar) and delight your guests. Bona appetit!
Ingredients:
4 cups heavy cream
10 large egg yolks, graded large
1 to 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped or 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup Fructevia, plus extra to caramelize top
Instructions: Using a wire whisk, vigorously whisk egg yolks with Fructevia in a large bowl, until mixture becomes light in color and Fructevia has dissolved. Now set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine heavy cream with vanilla beans which have been carefully split down the center, its fragrant black seeds scraped from the pod, and both combined with the cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer; when small bubbles have formed around the edges of the cream it is ready.
Gradually pour the cream mixture into the egg/Fructevia mix, whisking gently by hand to combine. Strain custard through a fine mesh strainer, retrieve vanilla bean and place it back into the custard. Chill and cover mixture with a sheet of plastic wrap, pierced several times to release any steam (chilling mixture overnight will let the flavors develop and allow custard to thicken a while).
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Place individual ramekins/custard cups in a baking pan, large enough to hold 8 to 10 six-ounce custard cups and deep enough to allow the water for the custard mix to be added reaching at least halfway up the sides of the dishes.
Remove the vanilla bean from the custard mixture (can be reserved for another use) and fill ramekins 3/4 full. Place pan in preheated oven and pour hot water into baking pan so water level reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Cover pan with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, sealing edges to retain steam. Cook 40 to 50 minutes or until custards are set. To test for doneness, gently shake the individual ramekins; if center is still a bit liquid-like or wobbly return custards to oven and continue to cook, checking every 5 to 7 minutes, until it has just set, with a small area in the center, the size of a quarter, still a bit loose.
Remove ramekins from baking pan and chill custard in refrigerator several hours or until chilled through.
To serve put a thin layer of Fructeviaatop each custard. Using a blow torch, over a heat and flame proof surface (like over a large cookie or baking sheet) caramelize the Fructeviaworking from the outside in towards the middle keeping the torch in constant motion. The Fructeviashould be golden brown and caramelized never black. If burnt, let the sugar layer cool a few minutes than peel it away with a paring knife and begin again. Alternatively you could caramelize the Fructevia under a broiler, keeping a careful watch over it and rotating it to cook evenly.
