What You’ll Need to Make Strawberryade:
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (or two cups) fresh strawberries
- Pink Lemonade Crystal Light
- water
How to Make Strawberryade:
Wash and cut the tops off of your strawberries. If a few make it into your mouth, I won’t tell. 🙂
Toss them into your blender, and puree that until it’s all good and liquified.
Put a few inches of water in a two quart pitcher.
Add your Pink Lemonade mix to the water…
…and stir that up until it is dissolved.
Stir in the strawberry puree from the blender.
Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water and stir.
Serve over ice.
If you make this a few hours before, the seeds will fall to the bottom. If you serve immediately, you can strain the seeds out if you prefer, or just leave them!
This reminds me of a Strawberry Julius with a bit of a zesty kick to it! Strawberry is definitely the dominant flavor!

Ok, I have a question about this drink… I got the crystal light mix but it has been divided up into 2 quart packets so do I use all of them or just 1 that makes 2 quarts?
Hey! Just one tub, that makes two quarts.
Thanks!
Thanks Christy, tried it and its a new favorite. I did use the rasberry/lemonade crystal light. So, refreshing. Thanks again.
Have you ever made this with frozen strawberries?
Wow I’m gonna have to make that. I found some strawberries at the store for a 1.00 and I have to use them so I might make this along with my strawberry shortcake. 😀
I recognized the peanut butter glasses immediately. My family has smaller ones the size of dessert glasses–perfect size for ice cream!
Oh Christy…my word girl! I’m sipping on a glass of this right now and me and hubby LOVE it. Even though I try to avoid artificial sweeteners I had to give this a go. I had some strawberries that were just about to go bad I needed to use up and this was the perfect way to do it. Used the Wal-Mart brand drink mix and it’s great.
Thanks!!
This was absolutely delicious and a very special and refreshing treat for the 4th of July. Everyone loved it. Thank you!
I am off to the kitchen to try a batch of this delicious sounding beverage! I will be using fresh frozen sugar free berries I have been putting up all season! Sure hope it looks and tastes as good as yours does! Thanks for a wonderful new way for me to use up all my berries!
