Energizing Lemon Smoothie
Light, tangy, and refreshing this lemon smoothie is made with lemon, yogurt and milk for a deliciously energizing way to start the day.
Equipment
Ingredients
- zest and juice from 1 lemon
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 cup frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 cup unsweetened milk of choice
- 2 servings vanilla protein powder optional
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend on high until well combined.
Notes
- The frozen cauliflower rice thickens the smoothie without a banana, so the lemon flavor shines through. Don't worry, you won't be able to taste it.
- Add 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or 1-2 pitted Medjool dates if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- If using fresh cauliflower rice instead of frozen, add ice for better texture.
- For a thinner consistency, add more milk.
- For nut-free be sure to use a nut-free milk like oat milk, coconut milk or hemp milk.
- For vegan, be sure to use a plant-based protein powder.
- For paleo, be sure to use a paleo-friendly protein powder.
- Nutrition information calculated using almond milk, full-fat Greek yogurt and protein powder. Nutrition information will depend on the type of protein powder and yogurt you use.
