How light is the "Light Lemonade?"

[deanie]

Does anyone know a rough calorie count of this? I am hoping not to gain any weight on this trip - LOL!

 

[WhateverLolaWants]

5 calories per 8 fl oz

Oh, wow! That is great. Bring it on!!

You mean they have light lemo at WDW????...All these years I've just asked for a lemo I could have been getting light??!!

All those wasted Calories.......For some reason I thought they only did diet coke...and i don't drink coke.

Not all places have the light lemonade but quite a few do. I don't like diet coke either - or any coke for that matter - but the light lemonade is good.

I tend to order the light lemonade wherever it is offered, as it is a great alternative to diet Coke (which I am not a huge fan of). The brand is Minute Maid, and I think it tastes great.

I pretty much live on that when we're in WDW. I'm trying very hard to avoid soda, so this was a good alternative, since we ALL know what the water is like there!

Of all the diet drinks I have tried, light lemonade is the worst tasting. The after-taste is just awful, though I suppose it can be washed away with a cup of water. Crystal Light isn't bad but often the side effects you can get from drinking the additives in "low calorie" beverages are worse than consuming the actual calories. Sweeteners like Splenda are not only terrible tasting, certain peoples' bodies do not know how to process these chemicals, leading to more weight gain.

Three of us in our family mainly eat low carb, so we do the light lemonade. Sometimes it is good and other times it tastes watered down, but most of the time it is quite refreshing, especially in the summer.

Yeah.

I didn't think I'd like it, but it's really pretty tasty.

We had some lemon wedges we'd brought with us to help kill the taste of the tap water, but we ended up using them in the light lemonade, instead.

Surprisingly good.
