Why you will love this recipe:

  • This drink is so refreshing!
  • With the delicious combination of both blueberries and raspberries this lemonade smoothie recipe is bursting with flavour and would be perfect for summer picnics, barbecues and cookouts.
  • This pink lemonade smoothie is so easy to make!
  • Ready in just a few minutes it’s also very modifiable. Want to use different berries or mixed berries? Go for it! Want to use maple syrup instead of honey? No problem!
  • This recipe is made without yogurt, but if you prefer a thicker lemonade smoothie you could easily add yogurt or greek yogurt.
  • This recipe is naturally sweetened and is refined sugar free making it a healthy drink option.
  • It’s dairy free, paleo and vegan!

Key ingredients and substitutions:

  • Berries: I used both raspberries and blueberries for this recipe to give it the most incredible flavour and pretty pink colour. You could use other berries such as strawberries, blackberries or mixed berries too! You could also use frozen fruit such as frozen blueberries, frozen strawberry or frozen raspberries. 
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice: The key to any great lemonade recipe is freshly squeezed lemon juice to give it that perfectly refreshing flavour.
  • Honey or maple syrup: My favourite natural sweeteners give this drink just the perfect amount of sweetness to balance the tartness of the lemon juice. If you are vegan be sure to use maple syrup. You could also use date syrup too!

How to make this recipe: 

Step one: 

Simply add all the ingredients to your blender and blend well until smooth. Then serve and enjoy!

Chef’s tips: 

  • You can use either fresh or frozen berries for this recipe. Frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, frozen mixed berries or frozen raspberries would all be great options. 
  • If you are serving a crowd you can easily double or triple this recipe to make more of this raspberry blueberry smoothie.
  • This smoothie is great for meal prep as you can make it the night ahead and store it in the fridge overnight. 

Variations and add ins: 

  • You could easily swap the berries in this drink. For instance, strawberries would be another great option.
  • If you like a thicker smoothie feel free to add yogurt, greek yogurt, almond milk yogurt or coconut milk yogurt – I recommend 1/2 cup of either vanilla, raspberry, blueberry or plain yogurt.
  • You can use either honey or maple syrup to sweeten this drink – if you like a sweeter lemonade feel free to add an extra 1-2 tbsp.
  • If you are vegan be sure to use maple syrup instead of honey as the sweetener. 

How to store: 

Store any leftovers of this dairy free smoothie in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Frequently asked questions:

Can I make this lemonade smoothie ahead of time?

Absolutely! It stores really well in the fridge for a few days after it’s made so simply make it a day or two ahead and give it a quick stir before serving.

Can I put lemon peel in my smoothie?

You definitely 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!

Do you make smoothies with milk or water? 

Whether you make a smoothie with milk or water will depend on the taste you want for the smoothie, and how thick you want it. For a thicker smoothie with a richer flavour you will want to add milk, but for a thinner smoothie with a lighter taste, water is a great option. 

Are smoothies better with milk or yogurt? 

You can make smoothies with either milk or yogurt. Yogurt will lead to a thicker smoothie but both will give you a nice rich, smooth flavour. You can also use dairy free milks and yogurts for smoothies such as almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or oat milk.
