I started making frosty drinks when I was following Trim Healthy Mama a few years ago. Never to leave a recipe alone, I started dabbling around with different flavor combinations and I was hooked. These drinks are so refreshing and so good for you.
I’ve been creating several different flavors and whichever one I’m drinking is my favorite. I’ve included a list at the bottom of the post with some of my other drinks.
A few years ago some dear friends gave us some of their extra red raspberry bushes. At the time I wasn’t thrilled about the idea because I had grown up enjoying my grandmother’s black raspberry pie that she made from the wild black raspberry bushes that were in our woods. I thought they were the only “good” raspberry. While I still think black raspberries are amazing, I have come to appreciate these red beauties more and more.
This recipe makes one-quart serving, but if it’s too big you can share half of it with a loved one. If you decide to divide the recipe and share it, I suggest you double the amount of collagen so that there is a good serving of collagen in both drinks.
For you Trim Healthy Mamas, this Frosted Raspberry Lemonade is an FP and is best enjoyed within the first 30-45 minutes of making.

This sounds awesome but what is the measurement on the lemon? 1/4 what? Lemon, cup? Please clarify as I really want to try this! Thank you!

Hi Brenda, I fixed the measurement in the recipe. Yes, it’s 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Hope you enjoy it!

YAY!
Beth @ Natural Mama Cafe
This looks amazing! I am all about delicious drink recipes. And I have never heard of collagen peptides. I have collagen hydrolysate by Great Lakes Gelatin … do you know if that would work the same in this recipe?
MamaShire
Hi Beth, yes the Great Lakes collagen would work the same. And thank you!
Valeria
can i use coconut milk instead of almond?
MamaShire
HI Valeria, yes you can use coconut milk. If you are following Trim Healthy Mama that would make it an S.
Eloise
Hi, I’m really confused. I’m a teenager and have no idea what ‘collagen peptides’ or ‘glucomannan’ are. Please can you help me because I really want to make this.
MamaShire
Hi Eloise,
The collagen peptides are a protein full of amino acids. They are easily digested and absorbed and have can beneficial for joint health, gut health, hair, skin, and nails. You do not have to include this in the drink it will be taste the same with or without it, but it does add in nutritional value.
The glucomannan is a low-carb starch that helps with the creaminess of the drink. You don’t have to use this either, but the drink will have an icier texture. If you do use glucomannan just remember that you don’t need very much in a recipe as it can thicken ingredients quickly.
I hope that helps, Eloise. Let me know if you have other questions.
