A thick, cold and refreshing smoothie is what you need on a hot day and this Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie is just what you need!
Full of bright strawberries and a vibrant lemon flavor from lemon juice, zest and yogurt, this is gonna be the perfect drink to sip on by the pool, on the patio and more!
Why You Will Love this Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie:
- It’s super refreshing.
- Kid friendly.
- Only uses a handful of simple ingredients.
- Easy to vary!
Recipe Ingredients:
- frozen banana: Always, always always have these on standby for all your smoothie needs!
- strawberries: Fresh strawberries or frozen will work, but I use frozen most often because I like the thickness frozen fruit adds to a smoothie. If you are a fan of smoothies that have a super thick milkshake like texture, then you want to use frozen strawberries too!
- milk: Sometimes I use whole, sometimes I use almond, it depends on what is available or what I need to use up! Any milk will work whether is is dairy milk or nondairy.
- lemon yogurt: This is my non-negotiable in this recipe. If you use another yogurt, it won’t have the same pizazz. However, I don’t want you skipping the smoothie all together if you are out so use strawberry or even vanilla if you don’t have lemon yogurt readily available.
- lemon: A little bit of zest and fresh lemon juice. Keep that lemon flavor coming!
- sweetener: this is totally optional and I typically opt for it to taste after initially blending the smoothie. A touch of honey is great or maple syrup as well as regular sugar.
How To make This Smoothie:
- Add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender, with liquid at the bottom unless otherwise noted by your blender manufacturer.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a few ice cubes if not cold or thick enough. Add sweetener to taste and then enjoy immediately!
Optional Add-Ins and Recipe Variations:
We love this strawberry lemonade smoothie as is, but there are also some great ways to vary it and make it even more amazing!
- add protein powder–add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, preferably something that will go well with this flavor like coconut, vanilla or even a strawberry!
- add a touch of lemon extract for more lemon flavor
- add some greens–warning though, the color will not be quite as pretty, but if that is ok for you, then go for it!
- give it a protein boost with some cottage cheese as well
- add other frozen berries into the mix

I have never used protien powder. What do you recommend?
Hi!! This recipe doesn’t require a protein powder. But if you looking I use pea protein powder in the flavor vanilla, it’s my favorite! You can also use a whey protein powder as well. Hope this helps!!
