Summer's here and my kids really enjoy drinking lemonade in the warmer weather. I was looking for an alternative to lemonade containing artificial sweeteners, sugar and high fructose corn syrup. I was excited to find such a product made by Lakewood Juices.
I purchase this product in our local healthfood store. 32 fl oz is about $3.50. Find a store near you! There is also an Amazon link if you scroll down to the bottom of the page.
