Keto Frozen Lemonade Slushies

Lemonade slushie recipe and content provided by Veronica Culver, The Enchanted Cook

Frozen keto lemonade is just what you need to stay deliciously hydrated and refreshed. With just 3g of net carbs and a big lemon-y dose of vitamin C, this “sunshine in a cup” is not only a tasty treat, but it helps support a low-carb lifestyle as well. Freshly-squeezed organic lemon juice that has been lightly sweetened with natural birch xylitol and stevia, then blended with fragrant thyme, added fats for satiety and creaminess, and ice make for a functional yet beautiful beverage. A definite upgrade from your childhood corner store slushies.

These keto slushies are easy to make — you just blitz everything up in a blender until it resembles fine snow and serve, with or without a spoon. Soon you’ll be enjoying this dreamy tart concoction and reminiscing about blissful childhood summers spent playing outside in the sunshine enjoying slushies.
