This post is about chick-fil-a frosted lemonade.
Frosted Lemonade Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup - Fairlife 2% milk
- Fresh lemon juice (~ 1/2 a lemon)
- 1 (5.3oz) - Oikos triple zero vanilla yogurt container
- 1 single-serve packet - Crystal Light lemonade mix
- Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade (Fill to the "max fill line" of your ninja creami container - amount will vary.)
Materials:
Frosted Lemonade How-To:
1. In your Ninja Creami XL Deluxe container add milk and yogurt. Stir with a spoon until mostly combined (it will still look a little chunky).
2. Add the fresh lemon juice and the crystal light packet. Stir gently.
3. Fill the container to the max fill line with minute maid zero sugar lemonade. If using a smaller container, reduce the amount to avoid overfilling.
4. Stir with a spoon, then use a hand frothing mixer to fully blend everything until smooth.
5. Attach the lid and place in the freezer for 24 hours. (Tip: You can spin it after 5-6 hours if you can't wait! It will be softer and more drinkable, but still delicious.)
6. When ready to serve, place the container in the Ninja Creami. Run it on the "light ice cream" setting. Repeat a second time.
7. If the texture looks a little icy, scrape down the sides, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and re-spin on light ice cream once more.
8. Scoop and enjoy! The consistency should be thick, smooth, and creamy!
Recipe FAQs:
Can I make this in a regular Ninja Creami (not Deluxe)
Yes - Just scale the recipe down to fit the smaller container, reducing the lemonade.
Does the frosted lemonade have a gross protein taste?
Nope! I tested different recipes for months to nail this one down. You won't have that chalky protein taste in this at all because it doesn't use any protein powder.
Do I have to wait the full 24 hours?
No - 24 hours gives the best texture, but 5-6 hours will still freeze enough to spin into a softer, drinkable frosted lemonade.
What if it's too icy after spinning?
Scrape the sides, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and re-spin until smooth.
Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
Fresh juice is best for flavor, but bottled works in a pinch - just use about 1-2 tablespoon.
Is it really like Chick-Fil-A's version?
Yes! This copycat version is tangy, creamy, and refreshing. Plus it's higher in protein and much lower in sugar than the original!

5 STARS. I hate hate hate how all the healthier creami recipes use protein powder. Super impressed with this one. Have you used any other juices before? I’d be curious how limeade tastes?
