My friend made party punch the other day and I was thinking that we may be able to "change" it to fit our LDL menu.
1 large can pineapple juice
1 large can of water
2 pkgs cherry kool aid (We could use sugar free)
You freeze it and then take it out to thaw about 30 mins prior to drinking it. I took it out and didn't let it thaw the other day and ate it like a slush.
I'm a newbie to this site and diet so I don't know if this would be a good recipe to use or not.

Re: Party Punch LDL Style???????
The book says that sugar free Jello is okay, so I don't see any reason why S/F Kool-Aid wouldn't work in this to make frozen fruit pops. Especially since you're diluting the juice 50/50 with water. I wouldn't drink too much of it as a beverage because it's better to get all the pulp & fiber from the fruit & not just the juice. But for a cup of slushy refreshing party punch - Mmm - go for it!
Do they make Splenda sweetened Kool-Aid? I might use unsweetened kind and add my own Stevia. I know Roger is not a fan of Crystal Light as an everyday beverage because we wants us to limit artificial sweeteners. I understand they can trick your body into thinking it's getting real sugar, spiking blood sugar and causing cravings.
