    This berry lemonade smoothie is such a fun refreshing drink. Made with both blueberries and raspberries and sweetened with honey, this healthy lemonade recipe is perfect for summer and has the prettiest pink colour. You will also love how easy it is to make.

    If you love refreshing drinks like my piña colada mocktail recipe, non-alcoholic huckleberry lemonade and chocolate coffee banana smoothie then you are going to love this smoothie recipe!

    Why you will love this lemonade smoothie:

    • The taste! It is so refreshing and the mix of berries with the lemonade combines perfectly to give this healthy drink the best flavour.
    • This pink lemonade smoothie is so easy to make and is ready in just a few minutes - just like my raspberry chia seed pudding.
    • It's a great way to use up fruit that is about to go bad in your fridge.
    • This smoothie is naturally sweetened, refined sugar free, dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and paleo.

    If you love lemonade drinks you will also love apple cider vinegar and lemon juice drink.

    Ingredient notes:

    For the full ingredient list and exact measurements refer to the recipe card later in this post.

    Bowls with different ingredients in the including blueberries, raspberries, water, lemon juice and maple syrup.
    • Berries: I use both raspberries and blueberries to make this lemonade smoothie but you could use other berries such as strawberries, blackberries or mixed berries. You can use fresh or frozen berries. 
    • Lemon juice: I recommend using fresh lemon juice rather than bottled lemon juice to make this lemonade smoothie.
    • Honey or maple syrup: either of these natural sweeteners can be used to give this lemonade smoothie the perfect amount of sweetness to balance the tartness of the lemon juice.

    Recipe variations and add ins:

    • If you like a stronger lemon flavour: add a tablespoon of lemon zest or a bit of lemon yogurt.
    • If you like a thicker smoothie add 1/2 cup of yogurt or greek yogurt. You could also add a frozen banana to make this smoothie thicker.
    • To make this lemonade smoothie higher in protein: add 1-2 scoops of collagen peptides.
    • For vegan: use maple syrup instead of honey as the sweetener. 

    How to make a lemonade smoothie:

    A blender full of a pink smoothie.

    Step 1

    Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend well until you have a smooth texture.

    Two glasses of lemonade smoothie topped with blueberries and raspberries.

    Lemonade smoothie FAQs:

    Can I put lemon peel in my smoothie?

    You can but it will change the flavour of the smoothie so I suggest starting with just a small amount. Adding citrus peels to smoothies is a great way to add extra vitamins and minerals and also cuts down on food waste!

    How do I store this smoothie?

    Store any leftovers of this lemonade smoothie in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to 3 days. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving it again.

    Can I freeze this smoothie?

    This lemonade smoothie freezes really well. I love freezing it in a popsicle mold and turning it into berry lemonade popsicles!

      Pretty good flavor. I did 1/4th of the recipe and it still made a little over 1 serving, I also did strawberries instead of blueberries, and tasted delicious!5 stars
