This fruity treat is like a cross between sorbet and lemonade. Not only will this drink rehydrate and recharge you, but it’s full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients (thanks to the strawberries and blueberries!), is a decent source of fiber, and has no added sugar. Basically, it’s the ultimate refreshment for a hot day.
On a hot day we all know a drink like this will melt fast. To help keep it cool for a little longer, instead of using ice cubes I use a handful of frozen blueberries. It gives additional nutrition plus little berry bursts of flavor…a total win-win in my book.
I promised to share this recipe with you a while ago…sorry it took me so long but hopefully you’ll agree it was worth the wait. I thought this would be the perfect time now that summer is here! :)
Sparkling Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
Serves 2 to 3
2 cups whole strawberries, frozen
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 packets stevia or other sweetener (more or less to taste depending how sweet your fruit is)
Splash of sparkling water
A handful of frozen blueberries (for garnish)
Add the strawberries, water, lemon juice, and stevia into a blender and process until smooth. Transfer to individual glasses and add a splash of sparkling water. Top with frozen blueberries and serve.

My mouth is watering just looking at it!
Thanks so much for replying though! Enjoy your weekend.
My pleasure, sorry I couldn’t be more help though! :) Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
What a fantastic idea! I must think of a variation of this for my cocktail party, which I am currently asking foodies to offer recipes for. What alcohol would you suggest in this if I was to change this to a cocktail?
I bet this would be a lot of fun to turn into a cocktail! Unfortunately, hubby and I don’t drink alcohol, so I’m afraid I’m not any help as far as suggestions for alcohol go…sorry about that!
how lovely. this seems like the perfect way to take advantage of the sweetness of ripe strawberries!
Beautiful! I can see myself wanting one of these every day, once the weather gets dreadful. :)
I think you picked the perfect moment to share this beautiful drink with us! Today temperature has risen to the 30’s, this drink is ideal! Very refreshing and cool!
Oh wow that looks so good, I want one right now :-) Diane
That does look incredibly refreshing and delightful! I would have to sub out the strawberries, but I am so going to give this a try :)
Oh, and love your tip with the frozen berries…hope you are having a great weekend Faith
Wow, my kids would love this frozen lemonade. What a fantastic way to get them eat more fruits too.
Just what the doctor ordered. I love the health a delicious drink can bring. Now just maybe if it’s a party, I might spike with a little vodka. That might be good for my mental health. But I know few little boys that would slurp this right up.
What gorgeous color and clicks, Faith..I want one pleaseee…
They are simply tasty and refreshing.
Perfect for a summer day!
Thx for connecting with me on foodbuzz. I just subscribed to your blog feed and can’t wait to see what your next post will be!
This looks amazing! I love the idea of being a cross between sorbet and a drink—it would be great to serve at a picnic or party!
This drink sounds SO refreshing and I love how it will give me the feel of eating a frozen treat but without all the calories and guilt!
This looks incredible! I love the frozen blueberry idea too. Perfect for summer :)
Yum! Perfect for a hot day!
So refreshing and absolutely divine!
