I dreamed up this Lemonade Coconut Milkshake recipe while on the way home from picking up the kids from school on Friday. It was the beginning to a fun weekend & what better then to kick it off with a sweet, creamy shake! This would be a nice sweet to enjoy for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
My little guy was quite taken by it…
Lately we have been enjoying all kinds of cool shakes and frozen popsicles. ‘Tis the season!
If you plan on making this shake for adult guests you can add a splash of rum.
With the rum it would taste like a Lemonade Pinå Colada. With lemon, not pineapple.
No matter what, you are sure to please guests of any age!
These had no alcohol and my son could not keep his hands off them.
What do you have planned for the long weekend?

I am going to drink these all summer long!
Yum! Sounds delish!
I’ve never liked milkshakes as they are far too sweet and rich, but I’m sure I’d love this one! Gorgeous flavors and totally healthy.
Cheers,
Rosa
what a yummy flavor combo… and an adorable little guy (the b&w is a framer!). great idea, marla!
Thanks Gretchen. I quite like that B&W photo too. It is awesome really huge!
Marla, these look delicious. Perfect for a hot summer day but not too heavy. Your boys is adorable!!
Thanks Kelley! Not too heavy at all. Keeps the belly flat 🙂
For the coconut milk -did you use canned, or the “milk” alternative in the aseptic box?
Hi Christie, I used canned….much better and with no fillers. I had the link to one I like in the actual recipe.
Gosh, Marla, this is fabulous. I love it! I’ve been thoroughly enjoyed all your popsicle ideas, and so has my family!
Oh Marla, this sounds so lovely! Great idea!
I can’t wait to try this! Can I turn this into an adult version by adding vodka, tequila or rum?
Allison, but of course!! I mention it would be great with rum. Kinda like a Pina Colada with lemon instead of pineapple!
Great for all ages! Thanks!
The perfect summer drink. Love this!
Oh I bet these are so good! Refreshing and perfect and bring on summer is all I can think when I look at them!
Honestly Averie, I think I will be enjoying these shakes in the fall + winter too!
Keep dreaming of new ideas, because you have come up with a good one. I am going to try it today. Yummy.
This looks amazing Marla! It’s such an interesting combination and I love it [: They look so beautiful too.
Ooh, I could use one of these right now!
Can’t wait to try this one. It looks yummy!
AH-Mazing!!!! Sounds dreamy!
Thanks Katie!
Your photos are amazing!!
I hope you don’t think this is a silly question… It’s really a lemon shake of sorts? The coconut milk we bought recently was pretty flavorless. And…We have access to raw milk, yes or no? I’m remembering that lemon in milk makes buttermilk.
Thanks!
Thanks Diane. Great question by the way. I am sure many folks are curious about this. I have never had a problem with coconut milk and citrus (the coconut milk is not dairy) The kefir I used did not curdle either ~ this has already been hit with an acid to make the kefir. Kefir is like a thin cultured yogurt if you have not tried it. What you get here is a nice, well blended, smooth + creamy shake! I did not try this with cow’s milk. If it works (or doesn’t) be sure to let us know. If you cannot get kefir, simply use more coconut milk.
I love that last shot, Marla! I can see why your son was so taken with these. Lemon, coconut, milkshake – all good.
Thanks Dara! My little guy asks for them all the time!
Oh my…drooling over this coconut milkshake. I could go for a huge glass right now. Fabulous recipe!
Oh good!! I hope you get to make yourself a tall shake 🙂
Yummy! I am trying this one this wknd! Great idea. I love the pics of your happy boy loving his shake! Kefir and coconut will be so creamy and thick. Who needs ice cream? You can always make anything guilt free. Thank u!!!
Hi Angie! It is so true ~ no ice cream needed with this healthy thick shake. None at all 🙂
What a fun idea – your son is absolutely adorable! What gorgeous eyes!
Oooo!! I love these yummy summer flavors!! So perfect for the upcoming holiday. 🙂
Just love this, Marla. SO delicious and refreshing for breakfast or an afterschool snack. Precious photos of your handsome guy:)xx
I’d be pretty happy with that myself! Although I quite prefer the idea of adding a little rum!
Jen, do it!!! I think most of the adults are on your page 😉
Could you imagine how much money you’d make if you put THESE out at a lemonade stand?!? Haha. I cannot wait to try this recipe…it sounds so refreshing.
Alyssa, I think you might have just come up with a new career idea for me 😉
Love this! I bet it is sooo refreshing. Why did you have to mention rum!? Next summer….
I am in Palm Springs so naturally I see the appeal here! GREG
Naturally Greg! Enjoy your time in the desert 🙂
Marla, your photos and recipes just continue to better with every post! These milkshakes look so fun and flavorful, and I love all your adorable adornments to them. Great recipe! Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with your family!
Love that it’s made with Kefir, my new obsession!
These look great! I am a huge fan of anything coconut, so I can’t wait to try this flavor combo!
Kristina, I too can’t get enough coconut these days!
Love this flavor combination! Lemons, sweetness and milk are some of my favorites!
can’t wait to try these tomorrow morning for breakfast… or, why wait?, this afternoon for snack!!!
Some of my very favorite flavors all in one- I love it!
Yum — sounds really good!
I pinned this, looks DELISH!
