Frozen Pink Lemonade (Paleo, AIP, Refined Sugar Free)
This frozen pink lemonade is perfect for summer! It’s refreshing, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet and sour. It’s totally Paleo, AIP and free of refined sugar.
The only thing better than a refreshing lemonade on a hot summer day is pink lemonade! It was one of my summertime go-to’s as a kid, and I always wondered how the heck they made it pink. The lemonade I was drinking was likely made pink from food dyes, so how the heck do you do it naturally without taking away from that sweet and sour flavor of lemonade? This frozen pink lemonade does just that!
This lemonade isn’t like a slushie with all ice. Rather, it’s creamy with coconut cream which makes it makes it more like a milkshake. When it comes to frozen drinks, the creamier the better!
The Ingredients
Fresh lemon juice
Fresh lemon juice works much better for lemonade than the stuff you get in a bottle! I recommend juicing fresh lemons either by hand or with a lemon juicer and chilling it in the fridge.
Cranberry juice
This is how you actually make pink lemonade! Not artificial food dyes, but cranberry juice.
Frozen strawberries
Strawberries add a bit more creaminess to the frozen lemonade and make it sweeter.
Coconut cream
Coconut cream makes this lemonade nice and creamy! You can place 2 cans of coconut cream in the fridge overnight and use the hardened cream, or you can use this which I prefer!
Honey
Just a bit of natural sweetener! You can also sub maple syrup here.

Thank you so much Julie!! <3
Hello from scorching Ft. Worth! I was telling my husband yesterday that I really wanted a fruit slushee. So excited to try this. I’m allergic to coconut so I’ll use homeade cashew cream. Sounds fabululous 🙂
Yay! Thank you so much Beth!! Stay cool 🙂
