so basically my boyfriend and i have been hooked on mcdonalds new frozen strawberry lemonade. a small is 210 calories.
ever since i started this experience ive been looking for ways to "swap" items.
so i came up with a DELICIOUS alternative to the frozen treat

all i used was a crystal light natural lemonade on the go packet, and a dreyers no sugar added strawberry fruit bar.

i used half of the lemonade packet and mixed it in about 10 ounces of water and froze it for about an hour, or until slushy.
then i got a fruit bar and broke it off into a bowl and microwaved it for 10 seconds. then i mashed it up and poured it into the frozen lemonade slushie.

the result.... 30 calories!! thats an excellent swap!!

fruit bar = 25 calories
1/2 crystal light packet = 5 calories

    Ok now I want to go to the store and get the bars and make me one for a cold refreshing drink/slushie. Never had the McDonalds one afraid to get hooked. Thanks for taking the time to come up with an affordable snack. I could always use another friend on my road to thin and healthy train if you want to request me.
