What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade.

All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version.

Frozen fruit is picked at the height of ripeness and quickly frozen. Because of the quick freezing methods, frozen fruit retains its nutritional value, making it a healthy choice. The benefit of buying frozen fruit is that you can keep it in the freezer for months at a time, without worrying about it going moldy. While frozen fruit's texture does change as it thaws, it's perfect for smoothies and frozen drinks.
