Ingredients
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup strawberries, fresh or unsweetened frozen
- 1 tablespoon sugar or preferred sweetener
- 1/2 cup ice cubes

Helpful hints
- If desired, add 1/3 cup lemonade base or sugar free lemon base from the DaVita recipe instead of the fresh lemon juice.

Does this recipe refer to using sugar free Crystal Light as the lemonade base? I have not seen a dietician yet; I am new to kidney disease and am not sure what to drink besides water. Dietitian comment: No, it refers to another beverage reciep on DaVita.com called Lemonade or Limeade Base. It's a great substitute for artificial lemonade drinks, which may contain phosphate additives.
