Raspberry And Lemon Smoothie Ingredients
The reason why this berry smoothie recipe with lemon is not only easy to make, but tasty and healthy. It’s all because of the ingredients selection.
Here are the ingredients needed to make this lemon smoothie:
#1. Raspberries
Raspberries are one of the few fruits that contain a lot of fiber.
You will need frozen raspberries to make this recipe. Frozen fruit helps thicken smoothies, and just makes smoothies taste so much better.
#2. Lemon
The lemon cuts through the sweetness of the berries so well and just makes the smoothie tastes much fresher.
We used freshly squeezed lemon juice, avoid using lemon juices from bottles or from concentrates.
#3. Greek Yogurt
Frozen fruit and yogurt blend so well together.
Yogurt also adds creaminess and protein to your smoothies, not to mention friendly gut bacteria too.
We used unsweetened plain, low-fat Greek yogurt.
#3. Almond Milk
We love using almond milk in smoothies because almond milk is an excellent dairy alternative, that adds protein and creaminess to smoothies.
Furthermore, almond milk is low in calories, making it a wonderful liquid for weight loss smoothies.
We used unsweetened almond milk for our raspberry and lemon smoothie recipe.
