Lemon Smoothie
Made with lemon juice, pineapple, and coconut cream, this is a bright and refreshing Lemon Smoothie that is velvety smooth, naturally sweet, and dairy free.
Servings: 3 (6 ounce servings)
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cubed pineapple (see note)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice , or to taste (2 to 3 small lemons)
- 13 ounce can coconut cream , undrained (not coconut milk - see note)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Place pineapple, lemon zest, juice, coconut cream, honey, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla extract, and ice cubes in a blender (in the order listed for optimal blending.)
- Blend until everything is incorporated and the consistency is smooth and creamy.
- Pour into glasses.
- Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint, if desired.
Notes
If using frozen pineapple, you can omit the ice cubes.
The consistency of coconut milk is like cow's milk, made from simmering equal parts shredded coconut and water together. Coconut cream, on the other hand, is made by simmering four times the amount of shredded coconut with one part water, which makes it thicker, creamier, richer, and more flavorful.
