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.
This recipe can stay colder when it is served over ice.
I found some really cool ideas for ice cube trays that you can see here.

To make this recipe you will need powdered sugar free lemonade mix. As we are not adding sugar to this, we will be adding a sugar free lemonade mix. Also, like many frosted lemonade recipes, you will need sugar free vanilla ice cream. If you cannot find a vanilla sugar free ice cream (or vanilla frozen yogurt), you can do what I do. I freeze my low fat Greek Yogurt for two hours before I make this recipe.
Here are some tips for making frosted lemonade.
I just mentioned that this sugar free version calls for powdered sugar free lemonade mix and sugar free vanilla ice cream (I have a recipe for sugar free vanilla ice cream here). Feel free to use vanilla frozen yogurt instead.
Here are some more helpful tips for you.
- Since first posting this recipe, there have been some new options available in sugar free drink mixes. Why not try a sugar free pink lemonade, sugar free tea and lemonade, or even a sugar free berry lemonade instead of the standard sugar free lemonade drink mix?
- You didn't hear this from me but, adding a bit of vodka to this can make some folks happy. 🙂
- I have not tried this but, if you cannot find vegan ice cream to make this a vegan frozen lemonade you can try using a vegan yogurt instead. However, I would suggest blending it with a bit of coconut cream.
This recipe is for anyone asking what is a frosted lemonade.
Yes, we call it both a frosted and a frozen lemonade.
But, technically it is an icy mix of lemonade and a frozen dairy such as ice cream.
What I like about this recipe is that I know exactly what is in it.
I like that I am making this frozen treat fresh. Also, I like having control over what goes into it.
This really is a lemon version of a popular and standard summer frozen fruit drink.
However, you do not have to make this just as a lemonade. Feel free to use a sugar free punch mix or something different instead.

The ingredients needed to make frozen lemonade.
- Lemon Juice- ¼ cup. Fresh is best. If you use bottled, be sure to check the added sugar content of it.
- Sugar Free Lemonade Mix- 1. U use an "on the go" single serving packet for a single serving. If you use a lemonade that has already been made, simply use one cup of the lemonade and omit the added water listed below.
- Water- 1 cup
- Sugar Free Vanilla Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt- 2 cups. If you cannot find a vanilla sugar free ice cream (or vanilla frozen yogurt), you can do what I do. I freeze my low fat Greek Yogurt for two hours before I make this recipe. However, I have a recipe for sugar free vanilla ice cream here.

How to make this Sugar Free Copycat Chick-fil-A Frozen Lemonade.
- I use a Vitamix blender for a recipe such as this one. Add to your blender the lemon juice, lemonade mix, and water. Blend your these ingredients long enough to mix until bubbles begin to appear (about 10 seconds).
- Next, to the blender, add your ice cream or frozen yogurt and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
- If your lemonade seems to be too thin, simply add a few ice cubes and flash blend until you reach your consistency.
- You can add additional sugar alternative if you feel that your drink is too tart. However, only add this in small amounts a bit at a time, tasting between additions.
- Make this a bit more fin by adding a bit of vodka to the end and giving it a quick flash blending .
