Refreshco Regio ( Exotic Diabetic Recipe )
by Tarla Dalal
A perfect accompaniment to any meal! If doctors have tagged sugar-laden drinks with a ‘no-no’ for you, here’s a diabetic-friendly drink made using healthy fruits and sugar-free soda.
Fruits are rich in fibre, iron, and other vitamins like vitamin C and A, and contain natural fruit sugar that does not fluctuate blood sugar levels. The use of a sugar substitute makes it taste even better… however those who like it as it is can relish the drink even without a sweetener.
