Lemon Coconut Smoothie
If you like smoothies with a tart and refreshing flavor, you don’t want to miss our Lemon Coconut Smoothie! It combines fresh lemon juice, coconut milk and sweetened coconut flakes, creamy yogurt and a bit of honey for a smoothie recipe that’ll make you feel bright and sunny all day long.
What is it about spring that makes me want to consume a crazy amount of lemons? I buy them in bulk well into the summer because I just can’t get enough. The flavor… the smell… perfection! Since I had so many in my fridge, I thought I’d try my hand at making a lemon-focused smoothie where the flavor of the lemon really comes out without making your lips pucker. Know what I mean? Sure you do.
Now, if you’re not into tart smoothies, this may not be for you. It’s going to be tart… how tart depends on how much honey or sweetener you add to it. But if you want to keep the recipe low cal (it rings in at around 220 calories), you’ll want to stick to around 1 tablespoon of honey. That amount was perfect for me.
