This Skinny Blueberry Lemon Smoothie is a refreshing treat that is only 100 calories!
I’m looking out my window and all I can see is a flurry of white flakes in every direction. So what am I bringing you today? A smoothie, of course.
This is my way of saying, “Screw you, winter.” Sorry. Was that harsh?
Sometimes, I just need something light and refreshing to ward off seasonal affective disorder. Winter can seriously give me the blues.
This smoothie features one of my favorite pairings: lemon+blueberry. I’ve put them together in breads, cakes, muffins, and scones, but this is my first time they’ve made an appearance in a smoothie. What was I waiting for?
This light smoothie is just 100 calories and has no added sugar. It tastes a bit like frozen blueberry lemonade. I think it’s perfect in its bold tartness, but feel free to add a little sweetener if you prefer. Just a little coconut milk adds the right amount of creaminess.
Drink it and transport yourself to a sunnier month.
