Love lemonade, but hate all the added sugar and calories? You’ll love this healthy frozen lemonade recipe made with all natural ingredients and no added sugar. It’s so good that the kids won’t even miss the sugar. In fact, it’s almost as good as Chick fil a frozen lemonade!
A healthy frozen lemonade recipe that still tastes delicious.
I try to get as many fruits and vegetables in mine and my boys’ diets as possible. I feel like it helps balance the copious amounts of chocolate and alcohol that I consume. I’ve recently been obsessed with my Vitamix (that I won in a recipe contest). Summer in Florida is brutal so we live on smoothies and frozen desserts.
Robert recently discovered the amazingness that is lemonade. I blame Chick-fil-A.
Okay, I blame myself for going to Chick-fil-A so often. I can’t get enough of their lemonade. The only problem I have is that with 58 grams of sugar, it isn’t something I want my kids (or myself) to be drinking often. Since I want to keep sugary lemonade as a special treat, I decided to make my own healthy frozen lemonade.
I found a delicious recipe in my Vitamix recipe book and decided to tweak it a little bit for lemonade. BTW- did you know that you can buy a refurbished Vitamix on Amazon for $100 less than they usually retail?
How to make sugar free frozen lemonade
Making frozen lemonade is so simple, especially with this recipe.
All you do is combine naturally sweet frozen grapes, lemons, ice, and water. Seriously, only 4 ingredients!
This frozen lemonade recipe is free of added sugar, but you won’t even notice because of the sweetness from the grapes. It’s perfect for a warm summer (or spring in our case) day. As you can tell, the kiddos loved it. I had to force Robert to share with Jackson.
We are in the habit of making smoothies when Robert wakes up from his nap. It’s a great snack as well as a fun bonding opportunity. I like showing Robert (and sometimes Jackson) how easy it is to make delicious snacks from fruits and vegetables.
Wait, there is more! Try the boozy frozen lemonade too!
I loved this one so much that I made a similar version with vodka in it the next night.
If you follow me on Facebook and Instagram you probably know that I’m trying to make more cocktails at home. I had a priest tell me that liquor is cheeper than wine and beer. Since he’s a man of God, I have to trust him, right?
Skip the booze for the kids, and make the boozy one for yourself!
Ingredients
- 2 lemons, peeled and seeded
- 1 C. green grapes
- 3 C. ice cubes
- 1/4 C. water
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in the blender in the order listed.
- Blend until smooth.
An added bonus of this recipe is that you can use frozen grapes and decrease the amount of ice. We toss grapes in the freezer a lot to avoid food waste.

I never thought to put green grapes in lemonade. What a simple yet amazing recipe! This is going straight in my blender!
Oh good! I think you will love it.
Yum! I love chickfila’s lemonade too so I need to try this! I know my kids would love it too!!
I don’t trust people who don’t like the lemonade at Chickfila. You seem like a good person!
What an interesting idea to use grapes to sweeten this lemonade. Looks delish and really creative. I am going to have to try this one!
Thanks! You’ll have to let me know if you like it when you try it.
This looks amazing!! Can’t wait to give it a try! I wish I had a vitamix-they are awesome.
This sounds ridiculously good – I know what I’m getting from the grocery store next time. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh man, this is such a smart snack!! I love the grapes as sweetener! My little guy would love this!
That looks delicious – even better with vodka I’m sure!
It’s still snowing on and off here I’m dying for some heat and lemonade! I hope it will be warm enough for this someday!
This sounds and looks amazing. It will be a perfect drink for the summer months.
I was inspired by this recipe today because I can’t seem to cool down in this heat. I made it with limes because I bought the huge bag from Costco. I also added a little bit of milk to cut the tang. I too love my Vitamix!
Yum! What a great way to use limes! This heat it so intense…
