Just don’t go on a Sunday! ; )
Sharry says
Made that mistake yesterday!😓
Leah Wilson says
Great recipe, but what about the diet version?
Erin says
Just substitute artificial sweetener of your choice for the sugar, to taste.
Alex says
I personally don’t use sugar in anything I make anymore. My family uses stevia which is a better choice especially if you’re not wanting sugar or Splenda (which is also not good for you).
cyndi says
can this be frozen once it’s made and then enjoyed at a later time?
Liz says
Yes, just run it through your blender when you are ready to enjoy it again. :)
Stephanie says
CAN YOU USE GREEK YOGURT?
Liz says
No.
Tim says
Having trouble finding anything but lemonade- when you say ‘Fresh squaeezed lemon juice,’ do you mean to squeeze actual lemons? I cannot find any cartons of lemon juice- only ade.
Liz says
You can freshly squeeze actual lemons, but you want to use the lemon juice you cook with for this.
Eva says
Can you use dairy free ice cream?
Liz says
I would guess so, not sure how it would turn out though.
Mona Williams says
One day I was craving this & I made a copy cat version using only softened vanilla ice cream & some Crystal Lite Lemonade powder. It was so easy & I think tasted just like the original.
Sarah says
That’s exactly how they make it. I worked there and all they do if mix lemonade and ice cream, it’s super easy
Amy says
Yum. I can’t wait to try this. Sometimes lemon is just so good. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
J Strucklsnd says
Could you add citrus vodka?
Cindy Magee says
YUM! Love that I can freeze it and run it through my blender for later. That’s a great tip! Is it ok I added this to Foodie Friday Roundup: Delicious Lemonades? I scheduled it to go live tomorrow morning.
A says
Very sour. I added lots more sugar! It was not thick and frozen either. Next time I will use crushed ice instead of water. Too much for my blender also. I had a big mess. I froze what was left. Not worth the trouble.
Nita says
Tried this…very sour and was not thick at all… I added lots more sugar. Next time I will use ice instead of water. Too much for my blender.. Had a big mess.
Debbie White Beattie says
This looks so delicious and I love the ingredients. This would be great on a hot summer day
Tabitha @ Tabitha Talks Food says
This looks sooo delicious! Lord knows I don’t really need another addiction (their cookies and cream milkshakes are my FAV) but I’ve gotta try this!
Jen says
The entire family gives this a thumbs up. Delicious!
Hannah says
Just made this but I used simply lemonade (also made with the raspberry version) both came out yummy but a little thin. Any idea on how to thicken it? Maybe add more ice cream?
Lisa Messer says
I made this one time after the 1st time I tried their frozen lemonade. I used the canned frozen lemonade mix and vanilla bean ice-cream and added ice as needed. It was delicious and tasted just like their version. This probably would as well and probably isn’t as much sugar. I am going to try this and maybe with lavender lemonade, which is my favorite lemonade.
