Lemon Smoothie

Tart, creamy, and cold enough to squint at, this lemon smoothie drinks like frozen lemonade with a protein plan. Yogurt and banana keep it from being a sugar bomb, and the whole thing is naturally gluten-free.

Yield: 2 smoothies · Time: 5 min

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana
• 3/4 cup (180 g) Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice
• Zest of 1 lemon + 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1–2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 4 ice cubes

Directions

1. Blend everything until completely smooth.
2. Taste — more honey for sweet, more juice for pucker.
3. Pour and finish with extra zest.

Pro tip: Zest before you juice; a naked lemon is nearly impossible to zest.
