This Low Calorie High Protein Lemonade Smoothie is just 109 calories and is packed with 11.8g of protein! If you want to make this a meal replacement lemon smoothie, you can add in more protein powder. This will double the protein and add some more calories, making it a healthy meal worthy shake.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 lemons peeled and segmented (seeds removed)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup ice
- 1-2 tablespoon all-natural zero calorie sugar (see recipe card for more options)

Healthy High Protein Lemonade Smoothie Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep
- Individual Smoothie Bags – Add the lemonade shake ingredients (less any liquid) to a sandwich bag and seal. Store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer).
- Family Sized Smoothie Bags – Add several servings worth of ingredients (less any liquid) to a gallon freezer bag. Place a 1/2 cup plastic measuring cup in the bag. Close and seal the bag, and store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer).
- Prepared Smoothies – these smoothies are best made fresh, but you can make them ahead of time and store in a clean jar (with a lid) in the fridge.
Leftover Storage
- Fridge Storage – Add any leftover smoothie to a jar (I actually serve them in jars so all I have to do is add a lid). Close and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezer Storage – Pour any leftover smoothie into ice cube molds, and freeze solid (about 4 hours). Then pop out of the mold and move to a freezer bag to avoid freezer burn. Will hold for 1 month in the freezer.
