- Opt for super ripe strawberries to maximize natural sweetness and boost flavor intensity.
- Freeze strawberries beforehand for an extra frosty and thick frozen lemonade texture.
- Consider using honey or agave as alternative sweeteners for a more natural sugar replacement.
- For a low-calorie version, substitute sugar with stevia or use zero-calorie sweetener alternatives.
