It’s a hot summer day, and all you want is a frosty, cold drink to cool you down from the inside out. If you’ve ever had a Frosted Lemonade from Chick-fil-A, you know how the creamy ice cream mixes with the tangy lemonade for a delightful treat, but what if it’s Sunday and Chick-fil-A is closed? And you want a Frosted Lemonade but without the inflammation from dairy and all the sugar that comes in Chick-fil-A milkshakes?
We’ve got a solution! Try making your own Frosted Lemonade this summer for a post-workout snack that will fill you up. This recipe is a guilt-free way to enjoy a thick, creamy drink that can be modified to meet your fitness goals.
If your goal is to maintain muscle and get enough protein for the day, add our TRU Natural Vanilla Cream Protein to the mix. If you’re working on staying hydrated, try adding TRU Hydrate in Orange Soda flavor to make an orange creamsicle shake. You could even add BCAA’s or Creatine if you’re feeling adventurous!
This recipe simply contains frozen coconut milk, fresh organic lemon juice, and lemon zest. For this recipe we recommend getting canned lite coconut milk for the full creamy effect. You can usually find cans of coconut milk in the ethnic food aisle near curry ingredients. If you want the recipe to be more lemony, add more lemon juice and zest!
Lemon is especially great for digestion and provides a healthy dose of Vitamin C which is great for the skin and immunity. So freeze some coconut milk in cubes and enjoy this homemade Frosted Lemonade this summer!
