Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie is the perfect cool, creamy treat or snack for summer. Sweet strawberries, citrusy lemonade and tart Greek yogurt blend to make a delicious smoothie.
I have always loved a cool, creamy treat like smoothies, ice cream and shakes…and being pregnant during the summer makes me crave these cold eats even more!
During both of my pregnancies, I have loved all things citrus so I thought I would take my craving for sweet citrus fruit and blend it into a deliciously tart-sweet Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie.
Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie Tips
I used frozen strawberries from the store to make this smoothie, but you can easily freeze your own by cleaning and hulling strawberries. Then place them in a flat layer on a wax paper or parchment lined sheet pan over night. Transfer the frozen strawberries to an air tight container and use in this smoothie recipe 🙂
Raspberries would also taste delicious in this recipe.
This recipe calls for plain, nonfat Greek yogurt because that is what we enjoy in my family, but you can use a higher fat percentage of yogurt or a plant-based Greek yogurt in the same proportions.
The recipe has optional maple syrup, but I think the sweetness of the lemonade and strawberries is plenty in this recipe.
You can easily use a homemade lemonade recipe if you want to make your own instead of using store-bought.
