What is Sugar-Free Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade?
Many people are looking for drink recipes compatible with Trim Healthy Mama, paleo or ketogenic diets. This recipe may fit the bill for any of those diets unless you are avoiding even small amounts of fruit.
My husband came up with this recipe recently, and I decided to share it because it’s just so good! You can use any type of unflavored carbonated water for this recipe (sparkling water, club soda, soda water, or seltzer water), but we prefer to make our own sparkling water with this sparkling water maker.
Making our own carbonated water costs less per ounce than store-bought carbonated drinks, plus we are avoiding all the chemicals that can be found in canned beverages.
This sparkling strawberry lemonade recipe is made sugar-free with the addition of stevia powder.

Benefits of Carbonated Water
In addition to being delicious, carbonated water comes with some surprising health benefits.
(The following isn’t medical advice, it’s just notes from my own reading online and in the article linked above. See my disclaimer here.)
According to the above article, drinking carbonated water can help you stay hydrated. It has also been demonstrated in studies to have health benefit such as improving swallowing ability in adults, particularly when the beverage is cold. Drinking sparkling water may also help with digestive problems such as constipation and gallbladder emptying. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas that causes bubbles in sparking water, is really important in human health. Carbon dioxide levels in the body may improve oxygenation by signaling your cells to absorb more oxygen.
Supplies Used for This Recipe:
- Stevia Extract Powder
- Flavor Drops (optional)
- SodaStream (for making carbonated water, optional)
How to Make Sugar-Free Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade
To make this drink, all you do is make or buy some carbonated water, and add it to a pitcher. Then add the sweetener (we use stevia powder–see the recipe card below for the amount we use), and then add the lemon slices and strawberries.

Pour into individual glasses to serve, add a slice of lemon to the side of the glass if you wish, and enjoy!

Sugar-Free Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade
Ingredients
- 2 liters carbonated water
- 5 scoops stevia extract powder
- 4 slices fresh lemon
- 5 frozen strawberries
Instructions
- You can use any type of unflavored carbonated water (sparkling water, club soda, soda water, or seltzer water), but I prefer to make my own sparkling water with a Soda Stream.
- Pour the carbonated water into a pitcher. Add five scoops of stevia extra powder one scoop at a time (we use the scoop that comes with the stevia container). Be sure not to add all the stevia extract at once as the natural chemical reaction that occurs between the powder and the carbonated water will create quite a bit of bubbly foam! Stir the powder into the water to mix well.You can also add some stevia-sweetened flavored stevia drops (linked in the post) for additional flavor.
- Add the lemon slices and the strawberries, then gently stir. Add ice if desired.
This is so easy and refreshing!
Just wondering, if I was not going to use stevia, but Allulose or Xylitol, how much would I use for this? I only use those 2 sugar substitutes as they are the only ones I can stand.
(I actually make a 1:1 of both together)
This does look good, and I have to drink 128 oz of water per day. It would be nice to have another flavor instead of plain water!
I’ve never made this with allulose or xylitol. I would probably just keep adding a little until it tastes how I want it.
This combination sound delicious, I was looking for some new combination and flavor, thanks for sharing this summer drink recipe.
Another tasty recipe… looks so refreshing!
Thanks for sharing at TFT!
Thank you!
This looks amazing. I really like that it has no added sugar and has health benefits too.
Have a great weekend,
