Healthy Citrus "Soda" (Vegan)

Another entry for the "when you're desperate" category with our elimination diet...

A while ago I mostly gave up soda, full of sugar and chemicals if you drink the real stuff, and full of poisonous artificial sweeteners if you drink the diet ones. 

At that point, we came up with what we call "Lemon Drink," which is basically just a cup of crushed ice with Pellegrino sparkling water, juice of half a lemon, and stevia to taste. It isn't a lemon-lime soda, that's for sure, but it'll do in a pinch, and there's nothing bad for you in there!

For a further twist on that lemon drink: When you eat half a grapefruit, use a grapefruit spoon and leave a good bit of the juice behind, then squeeze the grapefruit of all of that juice, add it to your Pellegrino and crushed ice, and proceed as with "Lemon Drink." Yum! Fake Fresca!
