This Healthy Frozen Strawberry Mocktail is a thick, frosty treat that’s perfect for summer!

All you need are fresh or frozen strawberries, orange juice and lime juice for a sweet, slightly start strawberry slushie.

And since strawberries are sweet enough on their own, there’s no need to add any sugar at all.

So that makes this healthy mocktail sugar-free, vegan, Paleo and Whole30 friendly!

Healthy Frozen Strawberry Mocktail

I love a frozen margarita as much as the next person but sometimes I want a sweet, frosty drink without alcohol when the weather is hot.

So after I created this popular Frozen Pineapple Virgin Margarita, I started thinking about all the other flavors that would be great.

So of course I had to go with strawberries! Their sweet, fresh flavor is perfect when the sun is out.

And the best part is, you can use either fresh or frozen strawberries, so even if they’re not in season you can still make this drink!

Adding a bit of orange and lime juice rounds out the flavor, adds a bit of tartness to balance the sweetness and gives it more of a cocktail flavor.

But hey, if you want to add some 100% agave silver tequila, white rum, vodka or gin, that would be great, too.

Plus it’s so easy and takes only a few minutes to make. Let’s do it!

 

What you need for this Healthy Frozen Strawberry Mocktail

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen (not thawed) strawberries, plus more for garnish, if desired
  • 6-8 tablespoons orange juice (from 1-2 oranges)
  • 4 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 cup cold water or 2 cups ice (about two handfuls)

Equipment:

  • a blender
  • measuring spoons (these are my favorite as they actually fit into spice jars)
  • a measuring cup
  • a fork or citrus juicer

How to make this Healthy Frozen Strawberry Mocktail

Step 1: If using fresh strawberries, remove the green tops.

Step 2: Add the strawberries to a blender, then add the orange juice and lime juice.

If you’re using fresh juice but don’t have a citrus juicer, this is what I do: Cut the orange or lime in half. Set a small mesh sieve over a measuring glass, stab the cut side of the orange or lime with a fork, aim the cut side down over the sieve and squeeze and rotate the fruit while twisting the fork until you gouge out every last drop of juice.

Step 4: Add the ice (if using fresh berries) or water (if using frozen) and blend! If your blender has an ice crush function, start with that whether you’re using fresh or frozen berries. Then switch to a regular blend mode.

If it seems to thick, add water about 1 tablespoon at a time. If it’s too thin, add more berries.

Step 4: Pour into a glass and garnish with a strawberry, if desired.

See the notes below the recipe for amounts to make more 4 drinks at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make substitutions?

You can use other fruit besides strawberries: cherries, raspberries, blueberries, chopped peaches, etc. I haven’t personally tried all these versions but they should work.

You can leave out the orange juice or lime juice, or use lemon juice instead for a strawberry lemonade flavor. Start with 2 tablespoons when making 2 drinks and add more if you like.

This would be great with fresh basil or mint either blended into the drink or the leaves added to the glass as a garnish.

Like I said above, feel free to add 100% agave silver tequila, white rum, vodka or gin.

Can I make this non-alcoholic frozen drink ahead of time?

This can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days but it won’t be frozen anymore. It’ll just be a delicious strawberry mocktail.

Can I freeze this healthy strawberry mocktail?

You can freeze the mixture in a freezer-safe, airtight container or baggie for up to 3 months. You will need to thaw it before it’s pourable again – this should take anywhere from 1-3 hours at room temperature or 4-6 hours in the fridge. If there are still large frozen chunks, you can re-blend it.

Notes

For four drinks, you’ll need 4 cups strawberries, 1 cup orange juice, 8 teaspoons (or about 2.5 tablespoons) lime juice and 2 cups water or 4 cups ice. Depending on the size and power of your blender, you might have to make this in two batches.
