Blueberry Lemon Smoothie

November 3, 2023

A zesty and satisfying way to start your day with a burst of fruity goodness. Begin with your choice of milk, and enhance the protein content with a serving of vanilla protein and a scoop of collagen, perfect for giving you the energy you need. To add creaminess and depth, consider including almond, pecan, or cashew butter, or for a healthier twist, half an avocado.

For those who crave extra fiber and thickness, you can choose to include one to two tablespoons of whole psyllium husk. To keep it cool and refreshing, add a generous cup of ice. A handful of spinach contributes a dose of greens, and the juice of a lemon with a touch of zest provides a delightful, zesty kick.

Sprinkle in a dash of pink salt and a pinch of cinnamon to round out the flavor profile. If you're looking to increase the fiber content, you can include frozen zucchini, yellow squash, or cauliflower for added nutrition. And, of course, don't forget the star ingredient—frozen or fresh blueberries.

Blend it all together, and you have a Blueberry Lemon Smoothie that's both delicious and nutritious, perfect for a quick and refreshing breakfast or a mid-day pick-me-up. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of blueberry and lemon in every sip!
