Easy Frosted Lemonade For Summer

A Super Quick & Easy Summer Slushy Recipe

My kids love making this sweet treat during the hot months of Arizona, which is basically half of the year! This cold drink is especially popular at our house when they have friends over to go swimming. It’s like a mix between a milkshake and a slushy, and reminds us of both the yummy blended Sonic drinks and famous Chick-fil-A lemonade. Cold, creamy, and refreshing!

Simply blend about 2 cups of ice with 1 cup of lemonade in a blender…

…now add a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream and blend again until smooth and creamy (I used raspberry lemonade in the pic below). 🙂

Use any flavor of lemonade or limeade that you’d like to mix it up a bit, although classic lemonade is probably my favorite because it reminds me of the Chick-fil-A frosted lemonade.

The Simply Lemonade brand has a raspberry flavored lemonade, as well as strawberry and peach during select seasons. Have fun and experiment! You could also add a little fresh lemon juice or frozen fruit to the mix.
