Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 We're revamping our recipes and I'm posting Warren's famous Fruit Punch to make it easier to put into our new links. However it's always good to hear about it again. Another idea in the same vein are the Yogi teas (which are delicious). They come in all flavors and are delicious. There's even a green tea which is decaffinated. Look for them in Fresh Fields. I love 'em. Fruit Punch (Warren ) Here is an idea that has been golden for me. The idea has really helped to empower CR. My personal CR experience is that making a quart of fruit punch to drink every hour or two, using maybe 1 or 2 tsp of 100% whole fruit juice concentrate per quart water (orange, grape, apple cherry, etc... total of 10 to 20 calories), sweetened pleasurably with Sucralose to taste, makes CR 100% easier. The punch has only so very few calories, but tastes just delicious -- almost as good as the real juice. I avoid temptation to eat, and the fruit punch supplies a very tiny number of very important, critical calories to keep my brain function and alertness high -- without the need to eat.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hi, I am another newbie...and I have a quick question.... What at the 100% juice concentrates referenced in the fruit punch recipe? I am not sure that I have seen them in the grocery store. Thanks! << ann >> " Never doubt that a small group of committed peoplecan change the world.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Sucralose fruit Punch (12 calories per quart). Put one tsp of no-sugar-added grape juice concentrate (or orange juice concentrate, apple juice, etc) into a quart of water (with ice cubes), add several drops of Sucralose, and create a healthy low-calorie drink better than any diet soda. This fruit punch recipe has become very popular, because it tastes as good and sweet as regular fruit juice -- but without the sugar, and without the calories. Listing of 100% juice concentrate flavors: 1) orange 2) purple grape 3) apple 4) cherry-apple 5) kiwi-apple 6) mango-apple 7) raspberry-apple 8) strawberry-apple 9) pineapple-orange 10) white grape 11) pear-apple 12) pineapple Fruit juice concentrates are usually concentrated in a 1 to 4 ratio, and the ones you want to buy are the ones that say " 100% fruit Juice " . I prefer to use Sucralose (rather then Splenda) because it is 3 1/2 times less expensive per unit of sweetening power. Sucralose also has zero calories, while Splenda contains maltodextrin, fillers, and other additives. However, Sucralose is a bulk commercial product, and not sold in stores. I happen to have it on hand and make it available to others on an experimental basis for recipe manufacture and development, only because someone else secured an industrial contract to purchase it. To try out the recipe, use Splenda. Only if you use a lot of Splenda (a dollar or two a week) would it be worthwhile to contact me (off list, privately only) in order to try out Sucralose rather than Splenda. You may also be able to find Sucralose direct on the Internet, if you look around too. -- Warren ====================================== From: ann Kane [mailto:ohmab@...] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Fruit Punch and Yogi Tea Hi, I am another newbie...and I have a quick question....

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Thanks Francesca ! One question. When you say fruit juice concentrate, do you mean frozen fruit juice in the frozen freezer in the store; that you mix with water. And is Sucralose and Splenda the same thing. ?? Many, many thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 As I understand what Warren means, yes. What I like about thr fruit punch (and my personal favorite the yogi teas which I recently discovered) is that they're soooo easy (and the tea, esp. the green tea, is a health food) and of course delicious. Our other suggestions (in the files) such as guar pudding and satietrol are a bit more complicated to make and expensive. on 5/6/2004 7:11 AM, lyn Fitch at roz@... wrote: > Thanks Francesca !
