Low-Carb Watermelon & Lime Coolers

If you’re looking for a refreshing low-carb summer drink, these sugar-free coolers made with watermelon, lime and mint are one to try.

They’re sweetener free and use just watermelon to sweeten naturally. I made a concentrate with the watermelon and then watered it down with sparkling water so light yet still flavoursome and the net carbs low.

Plus the colour is so pretty and this healthy drink is almost calorie-free. Make these at your next BBQ to pair with your meal and everyone will be so impressed!

There are loads of healthy low-carb and sugar-free options here:

• Low-Carb Cucumber Lime Cooler, this sugar-free beverage is extra concentrated with flavour!
• Low-Carb Lemon & Lime Cooler is an all-time favourite.
• Low-Carb Summer Raspberry Lemonade with zingy lemon and hints of raspberries.
• Keto Raspberry & Vanilla Ice Cream Soda Floats, a tasty summer beverage that uses our keto no-churn vanilla ice-cream. A healthy high-fat treat!

How To Make Electrolyte Drink

It's easy to convert this refreshing, tasty summer beverage into low-carb electrolyte drink.

Simply use the cooler as a base and add magnesium, potassium and sodium like we did in our original Homemade Electrolyte Drink and Blueberry & Lemon Electrolyte Drink. No more keto-flu!

Step-by-step

1. Ensure the melons are cold from the fridge. Peel the melon, remove the seeds and cut into chunks. Place in your blender with the mint leaves, lime juice and filtered water. Blitz until smooth.

   

2. Strain through a muslin cloth or fine sieve. Discard the pith.

   

3. To serve, place 1 ice cube in a glass or use crushed ice. Fill half the glass with the pureed melon concentrate and top with sparkling water or club soda.

   

4. Finish with a sprig of mint for decoration. Tastes the best when served fresh.
