TIPS FROM 7UP

If you’re looking for ways to reduce the amount of sugar in your diet, you can adjust this recipe’s suggested sugar amount to taste. Start with half the amount called for, in the same amount of water. If your bananas are on the ripe side, they’ll also add a boost of sweetness to the overall cooler.
