A quick and easy no sugar added strawberry lemonade made with frozen strawberries and fresh lemon juice, perfect for a refreshing summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) frozen strawberries
  • 3 medium fresh lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup or 120 ml lemon juice)
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups (240–300 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (about 150 grams) ice cubes (optional)
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener such as honey, agave, or stevia (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll 3 lemons on the counter to loosen the juice. Cut them in half and use a juicer to extract about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove seeds before adding to the blender.
  2. Scoop about 2 cups (300 grams) of frozen strawberries directly into the blender. Keep them frozen for icy texture.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water. Add up to 1/4 cup (60 ml) more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  4. Add 1 cup (about 150 grams) of ice cubes for extra chill and thickness, if desired.
  5. Blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and slushy. Stop and stir if blender struggles, then blend again.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding 1 teaspoon of honey or preferred natural sweetener if too tart, then blend for another 10 seconds.
  7. Optionally add a few fresh mint leaves and pulse a couple of times to infuse mint flavor.
  8. Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with a lemon slice or sprig of mint.

Notes

Use frozen fruit straight from the freezer for best icy texture. Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for brightness. Adjust water and ice to desired thickness. Blend in pulses if blender is not very powerful. Remove lemon seeds before blending. Sweetener is optional as natural fruit sweetness is usually sufficient. Mint leaves add a refreshing herbal note but are optional. If lemonade separates after sitting, stir or pulse again before serving.
