What you will need
Strawberries – I recommend using frozen strawberries to really get that slushy like texture! Strawberries are a fantastic fruit to eat because they are rich in vitamin C, fiber and polyphenols.
Fresh Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives this frozen lemonade its bright, tangy flavor that is better than anything bottled. You can you premade juice that is fresh pressed as well.
Honey – A touch of honey naturally sweetens the lemonade while complementing the tart lemons and juicy strawberries. Adjust the amount to suit your preferred sweetness.
Filtered Water – Filtered water helps everything blend smoothly without affecting the fresh, clean flavors of the fruit and lemon.
Ice – This creates the signature thick, frosty, slushy texture that makes this frozen lemonade so refreshing.
How to make the frozen strawberry lemonade
First, add the strawberries, lemon juice, honey, ice, and water to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, with no remaining chunks of fruit or ice.
If you’d like a thicker frozen strawberry lemonade, reduce the amount of water or blend in a little extra ice until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water and blend again.
Pour into 2–4 glasses and garnish with fresh lemon slices and strawberries, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
