Meyer Lemon & Blueberry Buzz
Description
This smoothie recipe combines carrot juice and frozen wild blueberries with avocado, which adds creaminess and body. The inclusion of Meyer lemon zest and juice introduces a bright, citrusy note that balances the sweetness. Honey is used as a natural sweetener, while white chia seeds contribute mild texture and potential nutritional benefits. The ingredients are blended until smooth for a rich but fresh drink with varied flavors and a satisfying thickness.
Serve the smoothie immediately for the best texture, as chia seeds and blueberries can cause it to firm up if left to sit. If it thickens, a good shake or stir will restore its consistency. Using maple syrup instead of honey can make it suitable for a vegan diet.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup carrot juice
- 1 1/2 cups wild blueberries frozen
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 Meyer lemon scrubbed
- 1 Tablespoon honey liquid
- 1 Tablespoon chia seed white
Instructions
- In a blender, combine carrot juice, blueberries and the avocado. Blend on medium-low speed or a 'chop' setting until the ingredients are broken down.
- Turn off the blender and remove the lid. Zest the entire Meyer into the blender. Cut the lemon in half, and juice it. Add 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice to the smoothie.
- Add the honey and the chia seeds. Replace the lid and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a glass, add a straw and serve.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make the smoothie vegan-friendly.
- The smoothie thickens if left standing due to chia seeds and blueberries; shake or stir before drinking.
