This Sugar Free Copycat Chick-fil-A Frozen Lemonade is the perfect treat for this time of the year.
I must say that I am a fan of this frozen delight which is why I have updated this favorite recipe!
Sugar Free Copycat Chick-fil-A Frozen Lemonade
This is the version that has no sugar added to it.
However, even without adding the sugar to it, this is really a tasty frozen treat to enjoy.
Technically, we know that the original is called a “Frosted Lemonade”.
I am calling my lemonade frozen as it seems to be more on the ‘frozen’ side rather than the frosted side. However, if you let yours sit out for a while, it too will become ‘frosted’ rather than ‘frozen’ as a result. Either way, this is a great beverage.
The original beverage really is a tasty one.
It seems to be rather obvious why this recipe is copied ‘re-created’ so much. The original has 300 calories and 65 grams of carbs in it. Hence, this re-creation will have less as it has no added sugar.
We are going to use a bit of a cheat in this recipe.
As we are not adding sugar to this, we will be adding a sugar free lemonade mix. You can buy sugar free lemonade mix on Amazon. Also, we would normally need ice cream. If you cannot find a vanilla sugar free ice cream (or vanilla frozen yogurt), do what I do. I freeze my low fat Greek Yogurt for two hours before I make this recipe.
Obviously, this frozen beverage has a lemon taste to it.
So, as a result of that taste, we should add a bit of lemon to it. You can use a fresh lemon or a bottled lemon juice to give your frozen lemonade that lemon taste.
When selecting a lemon juice, be sure to choose one that has no added sugar in it.
You can find lemon juice online that has no added sugar in it. This lemon juice is naturally sugar free as an entire lemon itself has about a gram of natural sugar in it.
This really is a lemon version of a popular and standard summer frozen fruit drink.
I am saying this in case you are thinking about substituting another fruit for everything lemon that is in this recipe.
Orange is a popular choices for this kind of a frozen recipe and you can simply substitute in unsweetened orange juice and a sugar free orange flavored beverage.
