    Lemon Lime Green Smoothie

    7
    By Alisa Fleming on January 7, 2015 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This Lemon Lime Green Smoothie is a healthy delight from the new book, The Best Green Smoothies on the Planet by Tracy Russell. It’s an entirely vegan collection with 150 recipes. Yes, they are all green smoothies! Talk about a niche. Try out this creamy, citrusy beverage to see what you think.

    Lemon Lime Green Smoothie Recipe - Dairy-free, vegan, paleo and so nutritious!

    The Best Green Smoothies on the Planet - Sample Lemon Lime Green Smoothie RecipeAs Tracy states, this lemon lime green smoothie might be small, but it’s loaded with nutrients. The kale alone adds 8 percent of your recommended daily value of calcium, 10 percent of your recommended daily value of fiber, and 3 grams of protein while the citrus provides powerful antioxidants. In fact, all of the recipes in the The Best Green Smoothies on the Planet are filled with virtuous ingredients, from papaya to goji berries, ginger to chia seeds. Despite the healthy title, I was still surprised to discover just how pure this dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free book is.

    The first half of the The Best Green Smoothies on the Planet is a full introduction to green smoothies, how to make them, and details about the fresh ingredients she uses. Then she crams tons of detox, fitness, immune-boosting, calcium-rich, weight loss and more green smoothie recipes into the second half. And Tracy doesn’t appear to use any sweeteners in The Best Green Smoothies on the Planet (not even stevia!), just fruits, vegetables, seeds, spices, and occasionally homemade almond milk.

    A few of the recipes that initially caught my eye were the Green Apple, Pineapple Carrot, Happy Berry Muffin, Strawberry Avocado, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and this Lemon Lime Green Smoothie…

    Pucker up! This smoothie is a little tart because of the lemon and lime, but the grapes and banana do help to sweeten it a little.

      Love the sound of this — a bit of a different take on things with the zesty citrus – fun!

      I came looking for smoothie recipes but now you’ve peaked my interest in going dairy free. I’ve been pondering the paleo lifestyle but I find it too expensive to get enough calories but eliminating only dairy may be a first step for me.

      Cheers!

        Hi Elizabeth – indeed, we’ve tried paleo, too, but it is expensive and restrictive! Dairy-free actually saves us money 🙂

      That looks awesome! The greener the smoothie is the better it tastes IMHO and I love kale in smoothies. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Alisa!
