Healthy Pear Lemonade (fruit-sweetened, no-sugar, 3-ingredients)
Perfect for a forward-thinking lemonade stand: This lemonade is sweetened with pears!
No sugar or even fruit juice is involved at all.
And it works beautifully because pears are so mildly sweet, and so light that they obediently disappear into the swirl of lemon juice and water. You can filter as well via a small sieve to make it crystal clear, although sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t

Here I just added ice and a few slices of lemon, and even a few kumquats for color.
It is delicious! Not too sweet, not too sour.
When life gives you lemons, make THIS lemonade, haha! You won’t be sorry. And anyway, who can feel sorry drinking a sunny drink like lemonade.
Oh, and do I need to remind of you of the health benefits in this drink?
Lemon, of course, is an immunity-boosting and detox star, helping you ward off germs, as well as flushing toxins from your body.
The pear is no slouch either, offering vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, and folate.
Besides the nutrition, this drink is simply fun to drink! Hmm, I think I see it as popsicles in the future.
Now, this lemonade is sweet and fun, and perfect for children, although you might want to up the pears if your child likes things sweeter.

I hope you enjoy them both!

I love this healthy alternative to sugar-laden lemonade! I’m going to have to try this with my kids this summer!

Melissa, thank you for stopping by. I agree! I love lemonade but not the options available to sweeten it, so I am happy the pear worked out so well. I hope you love it! Dee xx
