Ingredients for a Lemon Blueberry Smoothie
Frozen blueberries
Frozen banana
Lemon – you’ll use both the juice and the zest of a large lemon (or more if you like it strong)
Spinach
Milk of choice – I used raw grass-fed milk.
Method
- Blend together all the ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth. Add more milk if you like a thinner smoothie, and if you want more lemon flavor then add more lemon zest and juice as well.
Modifications
- Decrease the milk to 3/4 cup if you like a really thick smoothie.
- Use only 1/4-1/2 cup of milk to make a thick smoothie bowl (where you eat it with a spoon instead of a straw) and you can top it with granola, coconut flakes, fresh blueberries, etc. Also, feel free to add acai powder to this version for a Lemon Blueberry Acai bowl! Keep in mind you’ll need a high-powered blender for this to blend efficiently – or you can spend a few extra patient minutes mixing and blending with a regular blender. Regular blenders are not very efficient at blending frozen fruit with very little milk!
- Add collagen powder for some protein.
- Incorporate some greek yogurt in place of some of the milk to add some extra protein.
- Add a dash of lemon extract for more lemon flavor if desired.
