This Lemon Smoothie is a refreshing, citrusy blend of fresh lemon juice, banana, and creamy yogurt, naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. It’s perfect for warm days or anytime you need a bright, energizing boost.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, banana, yogurt, milk, and sweetener.
  2. Add ice cubes if using, then blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon intensity if needed.
  4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen banana for a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; plant-based yogurt works well for a dairy-free version.
  • Make it a smoothie bowl by reducing the milk and topping with granola and fruit.
