I absolutely love Chick-fil-A. Their chicken sandwiches (my ‘Copycat’ low-FODMAP version is the bomb), their sauce (try my low-FODMAP ‘Copycat’ Chick-Fiil-A Sauce!), and their clean, friendly, and fresh vibe are my personal faves among all fast food restaurants.
But I can never say no, especially, to a glass of their creamy frosted lemonade. Tangy and sweet, this cool bevy has the perfect combo of flavor. It’s like a vanilla shake with lemonade in the best possible way.
So, creating a copycat recipe for this item was a no-brainer. And even better: this is one of the easiest recipes you’re going to make!
The key is to use fresh squeezed lemon juice and good quality low-FODMAP vanilla ice cream. I love lactose-free Breyer’s vanilla, or my low-FODMAP homemade creamy French vanilla. But, if you enjoy and tolerate an almond or coconut milk variety, feel free to try them out.
This is a drink that you can enjoy all year long (but perfect for summer)!
