Indulge in the delightful Lemon Cheesecake Smoothie with this luscious recipe. Begin by combining 1 cup of your preferred milk or water with 1 tablespoon of cashew or almond butter (unsweetened coconut also adds a rich flavor). Introduce a creamy texture with 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese. For an extra fiber boost, add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed (optional).
Elevate the protein content with 1/2 to 1 serving of vanilla protein powder. Enhance the citrusy notes with the juice of one lemon or 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract, and include 1 teaspoon of lemon rind, washed well. Cool things down by adding 1 cup of ice, and finish with a dash of pink salt for the perfect balance. Enjoy the zesty and velvety goodness of this Lemon Cheesecake Smoothie!
