Thank you to Noble Juice for sponsoring this strawberry lemonade smoothie recipe.
Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
The thought of lemonade makes me smile.
I’m not sure what started it. Perhaps it was the lemonade stand every kid runs at least once during childhood. Maybe it was those trips with my mom to the flea market, where there was a booth for fresh-squeezed lemonade at every intersection of the aisles.
Whatever the origin, lemonade is simply a happy beverage. I’ve been really into smoothies lately (like this orange smoothie), so I decided to incorporate lemonade into a smoothie for the perfect spring or summer refresher.
One of my all-time favorite juice companies, Noble Juice, is based right here in Florida. Lucky for those of you who are not in Florida, you can also find Noble Juice in many fine grocery stores. I’ve chosen to use their lusciously flavorful Organic Mint Lemonade with Aloe to make this smoothie.
Because of the strawberries, this smoothie turns a gorgeous shade of pink. It’s pleasing both to the eye and the palate!
Tips for Making a Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
- If you would like to use fresh strawberries, simply wash and hull them, then freeze until solid. Use as directed in the recipe.
- If you don’t have strawberries, try another frozen fruit variety, such as peaches! Taste the smoothie before decanting it from your blender in case you need to add a little extra sweetness. (I like to use good honey for this purpose if necessary.)
- This smoothie can be served in small glasses as a palate cleanser at a party or dinner. It’s like a drinkable sorbet.

April 6, 2016 at 3:16 pmWe don’t have nobel juice in our neck of the woods but I would love to get my hands on that aloe mint juice. I have heard so many wonderful things about the health benefits of aloe that I would love to try it for myself. I have to admit I love strawberry lemonade smoothies! So delicious 🙂

April 6, 2016 at 5:30 pmAfter reading this post and looking at that delicious smoothie, I am craving a smoothie real bad, it has been a while! I never heard of Noble Juice before, but Mint Lemonade sounds amazing, so I will have to look them up. And with aloe too?! Amazing!

April 7, 2016 at 1:31 pmMy husband is crazy about that particular flavor! I tend to be a lemonade purist, but this one won me over.

April 6, 2016 at 11:01 pmThis smoothie looks delicious and thirst-quenching. I am the first to admit that I am not fond of lemonade at all, but perhaps the taste is much more enjoyable when combined with other fruit. I will definitely have to try this recipe out!

April 7, 2016 at 1:30 pmYou could swap in any juice you like and I’m sure it would still taste good- orange, tangerine, peach, etc.

April 7, 2016 at 1:29 pmThis one will wake you up for sure. I like to have mine out on the back porch, sitting in the shade when the sun is fierce.

April 7, 2016 at 6:51 amI haven’t made a smoothie with real strawberries because strawberries are hard to find in the markets. They are usually only available when they’re in season. This definitely is a great must-have during summer.
Katie
April 7, 2016 at 1:28 pmThat’s why I used frozen strawberries. It’s still strawberry season here in Florida, but we’re kind of reaching a lull. Nice to have the flexibility to use either one, though.

Katie
April 7, 2016 at 1:26 pmI get a happy feeling too! Summer is coming! 🙂

April 7, 2016 at 11:49 amNoble Juice’s Aloe Mint Lemonade is going on the grocery list ASAP! I need to make this smoothie. My girls will love the bright pink of it while I’ll love how healthy it is for them. I’ll be honest, I live in Florida but I’ve never heard of Noble Juice, I hope my local Publix carries it.
Katie
April 7, 2016 at 1:25 pmHopefully so! I love the honeybell blueberry, too.

April 7, 2016 at 11:51 amOh my God! This looks and sounds incredible. I love smoothies as they are just so versatile. I use them all the time to get fruit and veg into my kids without them even realising! LOL. I need to give this one a go.
Katie
April 7, 2016 at 1:25 pmI do the exact same thing with my kids!

April 7, 2016 at 6:05 pmHoney is the perfect sweetner for smoothies. This one would be great with a little mint added too! i love the suggestion to freeze the strawberries first. They make a great replace my for ice cubes!
Katie
April 11, 2016 at 8:52 pmYup, freezing the strawberries gives it that extra chill. 🙂

Katie
