Ingredients
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
2 tablespoons sugar (or more to taste)
1 ½ cups lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup ice
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for extra lemon flavor)
Fresh strawberry slices (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Place the fresh strawberries and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- Add the lemonade, ice, and vanilla ice cream (or frozen yogurt) to the blender. If you want a more intense lemon flavor, add the lemon zest as well.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Add more ice if you prefer a thicker consistency.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
- Pour the frosted lemonade into glasses and garnish with fresh strawberry slices, if desired.

Notes
You can swap strawberries for other fruits like raspberries or blueberries to change up the flavor.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the vanilla ice cream with coconut milk ice cream or a non-dairy frozen yogurt.
Add fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing touch.
