Substitutions
- Strawberries - if fresh strawberries are not available you can use frozen instead.
- Lemon juice - use fresh unless you cannot find fresh lemons, then you can substitute bottles lemon juice but the flavor will not be as bright.
- Sweetener - this recipe was tested with Besti Monk Fruit and Allulose sweetener only but you can use whatever sweetener you prefer just note that the amount may be different to taste and adjust as you go.
📖Variations
- Lime Twist - Instead of using only lemon juice, substitute half of the lemon juice with freshly squeezed lime juice. This will add a zesty and tangy twist to your strawberry lemonade.
- Berry Blend - Mix things up by using a combination of fresh strawberries and other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries. This will create a mixed berry lemonade with a medley of flavors.
- Sparkling Lemonade - For a fizzy and effervescent twist, replace the still water with sparkling water or soda water. This will give your lemonade a delightful bubbly texture and make it even more refreshing.
- Minty Fresh - Infuse your strawberry lemonade with a hint of mint by adding a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender when blending the strawberries. This will create a refreshing and herbaceous flavor profile.
- Tropical Splash - Add a taste of the tropics by incorporating a splash of coconut water into your lemonade. This will lend a subtle coconut undertone and provide a tropical twist to your beverage.
- Spicy Kick - For those who enjoy a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few slices of jalapeno to your strawberry lemonade. The spiciness will complement the sweetness and add a unique flavor dimension.

Mad this today and it was so good! I love that you can use your imagination and there are suggestions and ideas that come with it. I didn't add the mint this time. Next time I'm trying that too. Also going to try making it in the blender with some ice!

I am so happy you like it and like the variation ideas. I love adding the mint, it just gives it that extra "something".
