Meyer Lemon & Blueberry Buzz
Lemon-blueberry is a classic flavour combination that plays the lead role in this smoothie. Avocado lends a creaminess to the drink and carrot juice ups the vegetable count. I love the texture chia seeds bring to a smoothie, but you can leave them out if you're not a fan.

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup carrot juice
- 1 1/2 cups wild blueberries frozen
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 Meyer lemon scrubbed
- 1 Tablespoon liquid honey
- 1 Tablespoon white chia seeds
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.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- For a vegan smoothie, use maple syrup in place of the honey.
- Thanks to both the chia and the blueberries, this smoothie will firm up if you don't drink it right away. Not to worry, just give it a good shake and enjoy.
