- Berries: I use both raspberries and blueberries for this lemonade smoothie to give it the best 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 strawberries or frozen raspberries.
- Lemon juice: For best results I recommend using fresh lemon juice rather than bottled lemon juice.
- 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. You could also use date syrup too.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- If you like a stronger lemon flavour add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the smoothie or a bit of lemon yogurt.
- If you like a thicker smoothie with a more creamy texture feel free to add 1/2 cup of yogurt or greek yogurt. You can use plain yogurt, vanilla yogurt or a fruit flavoured yogurt to give it the flavour you prefer. 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.
- If you like a sweeter lemonade: add an extra 1-2 tablespoon of sweetener.
- If you are vegan: use maple syrup instead of honey as the sweetener.
- To turn this into spiked lemonade: add some vodka or gin.
- If you are serving a crowd or want leftovers you can easily double or triple this recipe.
How to make a lemonade smoothie:
Step 1
Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend well until you have a smooth texture.
How to store:
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.
This lemonade smoothie also freezes really well. I love freezing it in a popsicle mold and turning it into berry lemonade popsicles!
Lemonade smoothie FAQs:
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.
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!
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.
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.

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!
