Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Recipe

This time of year I love to keep it simple when creating recipes for the family. If I can make something great using only 3-5 ingredients, then it’s on my permanent list of favorites. Something as light & refreshing as a glass of lemonade is so welcome this time of year. It’s nice to have along side of a meal or while relaxing with the kids by the pool. But it’s easy to take that simple beverage & turn it into a great treat.
With the addition of ice & frozen strawberries this quickly becomes something that doesn’t just go along side the main event. It BECOMES the main event, which is especially great when hosting summer gatherings. You will definitely want to make this in large batches because friends & family will keep coming back for more. I’m sharing the (somewhat smaller) 1/2 pitcher version here today.

That’s it! So simple & refreshing too. Definitely a great recipe to share with family, friends & guests. I know I will be making several pitchers full for our next summer party. It’s great when a recipe comes together so quick & is loved by the masses. Enjoy!!
