Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole lemon peeled
  • 2.5 cups frozen strawberries
  • 7 - 9 dates*
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice

Instructions
 

  • BLEND: Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix) and blend - starting at the lowest speed and slowly increasing to high. Blend on high for 2-4 minutes until everything is completely liquified. 
  • SERVE: Pour this smoothie into large mason jars or cups of choice and top with a lemon wedge, strawberry, and sprig of mint if desired. Enjoy!
  • STORE: Store leftover frozen strawberry lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge for no more than 1-2 days.You can freeze leftover smoothie in single servings, an ice cube tray, or 2 Tbsp Souper Cubes for up to 10 weeks. You can then blend up the smoothie cubes with more liquid straight from the freezer. You can also add them to an airtight jar and let them defrost in the fridge overnight. Just give it a good shake before drinking in the morning!

Notes

  • DATES: If your dates are dry and not soft and gooey, soak them in hot or warm water for 5-10 minutes before adding to the blender.
  • If you're looking for a creamy texture, try adding some coconut milk or vegan Greek yogurt.
  • Frozen strawberries add to the cool frostiness of this cold refreshment and cut down on the amount of ice cubes you’d need, so it’s not watered down. You can also use frozen fresh strawberries.
  • Feel free to mix up the frozen fruit you use for a variety of delicious options! Blueberries, raspberries, cherries, and peaches all sound lovely as an addition to a blended frozen lemonade!
  • The whole lemon?! Just peel it and pop it in the blender, seeds and all. The Vitamix will just pulverize it all into fresh lemon juice. And did you know lemon seeds (like many seeds) contain the nutritional elements of the plants they become? So eating lemon seeds offers, among other things, an extra boost of vitamin C.
  • Yyou could serve it with some champagne or prosecco for a fun summer brunch refreshment. You could also opt for something a little stronger and use tequila and/or rum for a strawberry lemonade daiquiri feel for later in the day or evening.
