Instructions
- Start by adding the banana, fresh lemon juice, water, and lemon wedges to the container of an electric blender.
- Cover the blender and process on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into a chilled glass and add ice cubes—feel free to add as many as you like or as many as your glass can hold.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon for an extra pop of citrus.
- Optional Twist: Try making Banana Limeade by substituting fresh lime juice for the lemon juice and garnishing with a slice of lime instead. A tropical twist that’s just as delightful!
Tips for the Best Banana Lemonade:
- For an extra creamy texture, use a ripe banana. This will add natural sweetness and a smooth consistency to the drink.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or agave syrup, depending on your preference.
- If you prefer a less watery drink, use less water or add coconut water for a more exotic, hydrating twist.
Enjoy this quick and refreshing Banana Lemonade as a fun way to hydrate and treat yourself to something different. It’s the perfect beverage for anyone looking for a refreshing, citrusy drink with a hint of tropical sweetness.
