I'm really in the mood for something sweet and sour. I wish there was a Smoothie King around so I could see about getting one of their strawberry lemonade smoothies. It'd be even better if it was a passion fruit kind of drink. Benihana's has an amazing passion fruit lemonade that I had three glasses of during my middle sister's graduation dinner the weekend before I was told I had GD. It was heaven in a glass!
I posted about wanting the smoothie from Smoothie King on my Facebook and how there isn't one here. A friend posted, "Homemade smoothies are great!" So I figured, yeah, I could make a smoothie using some lemon juice and the Greek yogurt and some strawberries if my mom doesn't need them for canning anymore.
But I know lemons are a fruit. That means they have carbs. So off to Google I went in search of the carb count for lemon juice. Annoying and funny how I had to put 'how many carbs in lemon juice' just to get a good search. I am not great at searches.
Finally found a nifty site that someone put together a bunch of the carbs (as well as protein, calories, etc) for foods and drinks. This was meant for those on the Atkins diet, but hey, it works for those of us with GD as well, no? So I am here to share it with everyone else!

Have fun with that. There's even an alcohol list, but obviously we are not going to be drinking for a while.
