This is adapted from the "South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook". Appropriate for phases 2 and 3. The recipe didn't have Splenda but we didn't like it without it.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup red seedless grapes (30 grapes)
1 cup raspberries or strawberry
ice cubes, to serve
2 cups seltzer water, chilled (we used lemon sparkling mineral water)
Splenda sugar substitute, to taste (we liked 3 packets per glass for a sweet taste)
minced fresh mint, to taste (optional)

Directions

1
In a blender, combine grapes and raspberries; puree until smooth.
2
Strain mixture into a pitcher. I found rubbing the back of a spoon in a circular motion against the mesh helps get the juice through. Discard seeds. You should end up with a cup of juice.
3
Fill 4 (8-ounce) glasses with ice. Pour 1/4 cup of fruit juice into each glass and top with seltzer.
4
Stir in Splenda and mint if desired to serve.
5
To make it pretty you can put some raspberries, mint leaves and grapes on toothpicks and garnish the drink.
