Perfect Lemon Smoothie
Servings: 1
For this lemon smoothie, I blend a whole peeled lemon with frozen peach, raw cashews and a little raw honey, then sneak in frozen cauliflower for extra creaminess. Fresh ginger and turmeric add warmth, and you get 10 grams of protein in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon peeled
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup raw cashews
- 1-2 tablespoon raw honey
- ½ cup frozen cauliflower
- 1 cup peach frozen
- ½ inch ginger root fresh
- ½ teaspoon turmeric, ground
Instructions
- Pour the water into a blender. Add the lemon, cashews, honey, cauliflower, peach, ginger and turmeric.
- Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Vegan Swap: Use maple syrup in place of the honey.
- Lemon Swap: Meyer lemons are slightly sweeter than regular lemons, if you'd like less pucker. Remove any seeds before blending.
- Protein Boost: Swap the cashews for 1 serving of your favorite protein powder, or add it alongside them.
- Make Ahead: Pack everything but the water into frozen smoothie packs for quick blending. Once blended, it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
