Print Recipe

This creamy frozen lemonade is a refreshing, dairy-free summer drink made with fresh lemon juice, coconut milk, and ice. It’s quick to blend, totally vegan, and perfect for cooling off on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk (full-fat or light, or any unsweetened plant milk)
  • 3–4 tablespoons (45–60 ml) maple syrup or agave (adjust to taste)
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups (350–420 g) ice cubes
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh mint, for garnish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) berries, such as strawberries or raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll lemons on the counter to release juices. Zest one lemon (about 1 teaspoon), then juice all lemons to yield about 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice.
  2. In a blender, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut milk, maple syrup (start with less and adjust to taste), pinch of salt, and vanilla extract if using. Add berries or mint if desired.
  3. Add 2 1/2 to 3 cups ice cubes to the blender.
  4. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until smooth and frosty, with a creamy, slushie-like texture.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness, tartness, or thickness by adding more sweetener, lemon juice, or ice as needed. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
  6. Pour into chilled glasses or mason jars. Garnish with mint, lemon zest, or a lemon slice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use cold ingredients and serve immediately. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste, as lemons can vary. For a lighter drink, use almond or oat milk. Add berries or herbs for fun variations. If too thick, add a splash of plant milk; if too thin, add more ice. Can be frozen and re-blended for later.
