Summer means lemonade.
And frozen drinks. So why not combine the two? And then add mango and strawberries... Pure perfection.
I actually got the idea for this drink at one of my favorite restaurants ever, Logan's Roadhouse. (If you've never heard of Logan's, it's like a Texas Roadhouse except different. And, in my opinion, tastier!) We were having dinner with some family and I was leafing through one of those little booklets they have at the end of the table (you know, the ones that suck you into buying that delicious looking drink or brownie? ;) when my eye caught on a picture of a tall, frosty glass of frozen lemonade. Of course, I had to try it and it was amazing. But too sweet and not tart enough for my taste. So I decided to make one at my house and adjust it to my preferences.
This drink is especially nice after a hard workout in the sun. That's what I did today. A nice, cold glass of frozen lemonade is the perfect thing to give you a little carb boost, while cooling you down. Let me just say, why do I do boot camp when I know it's so painful? ;) My face was red for about an hour. Eight-five degree weather and boot camp do not go well together.
Oh, and excuse the less-than-amazing pictures. I was too impatient to set up a nice photo shoot.
little over 1 c. strawberry lemonade (or regular lemonade)
1/2 c. frozen mango
1/2 c. frozen strawberries (if not using strawberry lemonade)
2 T. lemon juice
6-7 ice cubes
1. Add all of the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Have you ever tried boot camp or cross fit or anything like that?
One of these days, I'm going to try cross fit, but, to quote Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, "It is not this day." ;)

This looks delicious & refreshing! Reminds me of a drink I used to get at the Cheesecake Factory...
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've never actually been to the Cheesecake Factory and for awhile I really wanted to go. But for now I'll just stick to making my own tasty gluten free and paleo cheesecake. ;)
DeleteYeah, you weren't missing anything at the Cheesecake Factory...much better to make quality food at home!
