Laura’s Protein Frosted Lemonade

Looking for a sweet, refreshing treat that doesn’t derail your goals? Our in-house dietitian, Laura Henry, has you covered with this Protein Frosted Lemonade—a frozen, protein-packed drink that tastes like summer in a glass.

It’s light, lemony, and loaded with 20–25 grams of protein—perfect after a workout, or as a guilt-free afternoon cool down. And the best part? You can whip it up in five minutes or less.

Why We Love It

This is one of Laura’s favorite summer go-tos because it hits that nostalgic “frozen lemonade stand” vibe while still giving your body what it needs: protein, hydration, and balance. Plus, you can tweak it to your taste and consistency—drink it with a straw or eat it with a spoon.

🍋 Protein Frosted Lemonade

Prep Time: 5 minutes Serving Size: 8–12 oz Protein: 20–25g

Ingredients:

• 1 packet sugar-free powdered lemonade mix (like Wyler’s Light or Country Time Zero Sugar)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (30 cal)

• 1–2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice + a lemon slice for garnish

• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein or lemon-flavored clear whey

• 1–2 cups crushed or cubed ice (more for a thicker texture)

• Optional: 2 Tbsp TruWhip whipped topping for a creamy finish

Plant-based option: Swap in vanilla or lemon soy protein powder.

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor.

2. Blend until smooth, thick, and frosty.

3. Pour into a chilled glass, top with TruWhip (if using), and garnish with a lemon slice.

4. Sip (or spoon) and enjoy!

Pro tip: Add a little water if you want it more drinkable. Go heavier on ice if you want it thick like a frozen treat.

Want to Mix It Up?

Once you’ve got the base recipe down, try one of these easy variations:

• Tropical Vibe: Swap almond milk for coconut milk, add frozen pineapple, and use a sugar-free coconut or pineapple drink mix for a piña colada feel.

• Berry Twist: Add a handful of frozen berries and use a berry-flavored protein powder or mix-in.
