Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Smoothie Monday! Today’s smoothie really just blew my mind. I had the idea of the smoothie, but wasn’t sure how it would taste. So I did some experimenting and oh my gosh I created an amazing, healthy, refreshing smoothie that just makes me smile!! This my Friends is my Lemon Meringue Smoothie.
This smoothie is creamy, sweet, with a hint of coconut and a hint of lemon. It is truly a good morning smoothie that will make you smile and start your day off right!!
The smoothie is made with fresh lemon juice, coconut extract, greek yogurt and non-fat milk. Blend it away for pure creaminess. The smoothie is not at all sour or bitter!! I honestly was a little afraid of that happening. It has 20 grams of protein and only 17 carbs. The recipe makes for 2 cups!! I think this is the perfect on the go breakfast!!
- Serves: 2 cups
- Serving size: The Whole Recipe
- ½ cup greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 cup non-fat milk
- ¼ tsp. coconut extract
- ¼ tsp. stevia to taste
- 1 cup of ice
- In a blender add all the ingredients and process until smooth.
In California lemons are totally in season and nothing like using fresh lemons in a recipe. I have to admit, I have been on a little lemon kick lately. I just love how refreshing and healthy they are for you!
Time to go, lots more blogging to do!
Have a fantastic week! Remember to do something that will make you smile to today and in return make someone else smile!
Toodles,
Jennifer
Sounds like a really great smoothie! Must try 🙂
Thank you so much! I really do enjoy it!
I love everything about this smoothie Jennifer. Such refreshing and delicious flavors you’ve got going on. As always, a great creation!
Ahhh, thank you so much Chris! I have to admit this is one of my new favorites!
Pinning and trying this one! I wonder if coconut milk could be a good sub for the milk and coconut extract…
Coconut milk would be great in this recipe! I would have used it, but I didn’t have any on hand.
i made it, and it tastes FANTASTIC! Me and my brother had a great time drinking it together!
I am so glad you like it! Thank you so much for letting me know.
Love it! I substituted the coconut extract with 1/4 cup coconut milk, and used 1 tablespoon of organic light agave to sweeten, delicious!
Yum! That sounds so good! I love the changes.
