Lemon Raspberry Smoothie

As a busy mom who works full-time, I am all about easy breakfast options. My two go-to healthy breakfasts of late are baked oatmeal and smoothies.

To keep it interesting, I am always testing out new smoothie flavor combinations and recently happened on this lemon raspberry combo that was so good I had to share! I like to pair my morning smoothie with a cup of coffee and one of these muffins smeared with a bit of peanut butter.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Frozen Raspberries: the feature of this smoothie! I like using frozen raspberries to make a thicker smoothie.
• Frozen Cauliflower Rice: a great way to add a serving of vegetables with breakfast and you won’t taste it in this smoothie! Also, unlike greens like spinach – it won’t ruin the pretty color of this smoothie.

  You could also use regular frozen cauliflower, but the cauliflower rice may be easier to blend if you don’t have a high powered blender.

• Banana: adds a bit of sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie. You can use frozen banana to make a thicker smoothie.
• Soy Milk: you can use any milk that you prefer. I like soy best because it has more protein than other plant-based milks.
• Lemon: adds a punch of flavor that pairs perfectly with the raspberries!

Optional Additions to this Smoothie

Here are some other things you can add to this smoothie:

• Protein powder to bump up the protein
• Hemp hearts or chia seeds – add some protein as well as heart healthy fats
• Almond butter to make it more filling
• Vegan yogurt (plain or vanilla) for extra creaminess
