Refreshing Smoothie Recipe

A lemonade smoothie is easy to make and packed with flavor. It’s an easy but delicious way to quench your thirst as the weather heats up. You and your kids will enjoy it so much you’ll want to make it often!

Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients to make this refreshing drink. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Lemon juice
• Greek yogurt
• Banana
• Coconut water
• Ice
• Sweetener (optional – I prefer Stevia)

Next time you have a backyard get-together with friends and family, serve these. Just make sure you have enough for seconds and maybe even thirds.

I like to use fresh lemons. However, if you have concentrated lemon juice, you can use that instead. But keep in mind that the strength varies, so start with a little and add more to taste.

Directions

In a blender, pour the juice of one large lemon. Next, add some Greek yogurt, 1 medium-size banana, a cup of coconut water, some crushed ice and some stevia (or whatever sweetener you prefer).

Blend on high until it is smooth. Pour into two medium-tall glasses and garnish with red or purple berries. Or you can add a sprig of mint if you have some.

Lemonade Smoothie Variations

You can vary some of the ingredients if you like. For example, you can add a couple of strawberries to the blender to turn it into pink lemonade. Another idea is to add pineapple for a stronger fruity and less lemony flavor. You can also use honey or sugar instead of stevia.
