Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 c. lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon zest
  • 1/4 c. plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 c. coconut milk
  • 1 tsp. honey (optional)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 2 c. frozen wild blueberries
  • 1/8 tsp. sea salt

Equipment

  • blender

Method
 

Combine Your Ingredients
  1. Gather all your ingredients and your blender. Pour in the fresh lemon juice and coconut milk first. Next, add the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, optional honey, vanilla protein powder, frozen wild blueberries, and the crucial 1/8 tsp sea salt. Adding liquids first helps the blades catch properly and ensures the salt is fully incorporated.
Blend to Perfection
  1. Secure the lid on your blender and start pulsing on a lower speed to break down the frozen fruit. Gradually increase to high speed and blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stop and scrape down any unblended bits from the sides with a spatula as needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add additional coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve Immediately
  1. Once smooth and creamy, pour the Blueberry Lemonade Smoothie into your favorite glass and serve immediately for the best cold temperature and freshest flavor.

Notes

The small pinch of sea salt is crucial! It enhances the sweetness of the blueberries and balances the tartness of the lemon for a superior flavor. Always use frozen blueberries to ensure your smoothie is thick, cold, and creamy without diluting the flavor. For optimal blending, layer ingredients with liquids first, then soft ingredients, then frozen fruit on top. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or zestiness with lemon juice as desired. Serve immediately, garnished with a lemon slice, fresh blueberries, or mint.
Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; separation is natural, just shake or re-blend before serving. Leftovers can also be made into popsicles or ice cubes for future use.
