Ingredients:
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon collagen (optional)
- ½ teaspoon stevia extract (Now Better Stevia recommended)
- 2 pinches Himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon glucomannan
- 6–7 fresh or frozen strawberries
- 3 cups ice cubes (about one full tray)
Directions:
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the lemon juice, almond milk, collagen (if using), stevia extract, Himalayan salt, and vanilla extract. Blend on low for just a few seconds to mix all the ingredients.
- Add the Glucomannan: With the blender still on low, slowly sprinkle in the glucomannan. Continue blending on low for about 30 seconds. This helps thicken the drink and gives it a frosty texture.
- Add Strawberries and Ice: Turn off the blender and add the strawberries and ice cubes. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a frosty consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the frosted strawberry lemonade into two glasses and serve immediately. This refreshing drink is best enjoyed right away for the perfect icy texture.
Recipe Tips:
- Glucomannan: This ingredient helps thicken the drink and give it a creamy texture. If you don’t have glucomannan, you can leave it out, but the consistency will be slightly thinner.
- Collagen Boost: Adding collagen powder is optional but can give the drink an extra boost of protein, making it a more satisfying snack or post-workout treat.
- Adjust Sweetness: The stevia extract provides natural sweetness, but feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences. You can also swap stevia for another sweetener if desired.
