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.
Lemons naturally boost metabolism and burn fat, making this a very healthy treat! I like use the whole lemon, this boost the fiber and gives you all that fat burning vitamin C.

Ingredients in Protein Lemonade
Every protein powder is a little different. I have 2 vanilla protein powders, one is a collagen powder and one a vegan protein powder. They are very different when it comes to sweetness.
This is why the range on the sweetener varies in the recipe card. So I recommend starting with the lower amount, tasting and then adding more as needed.
Shopping List for Protein Lemonade:

How to Make High Protein Lemonade
Many protein lemonade recipes call for juicing the lemons before adding into the smoothie. But I find that it makes a better, more lemony flavor to add the whole fruit (less the skin and seeds of course).
As a bonus, by using the entire fruit you’re adding in more of the great metabolism boosting properties to the drink!
How to Make Protein Lemon Smoothies:
- To a blender, add all of the protein lemonade ingredients and 1 tablespoon sweetener.
- Pulse to get things moving, then blend until smooth.
- Taste and add in an additional tablespoon of sweetener as needed, then blend again as needed.
- Poor into a glass and enjoy chilled.
