Luscious Lemon & Lucuma Smoothie

 :Meaghan Eady: Luscious Lemon & Lucuma Smoothie
This divine smoothie is a take on the Lemon Tart smoothie from Bolt Fresh Bar on Queen Street in Toronto.
 
It was simply to die for – with the few tweaks I made to it.
 
Lemon is so uplifting that that’s reason enough to consume it. It’s also alkalizing for the body, full of vitamin C and has a major influence on liver function and detoxification.
 
Hemp and avocado add richness and depth, as well as healthy fats. Lucuma adds a mild maple-y flavour as well as some serious antioxidant power.
 
Paleos, vegans and regular folk alike will go loopy for this one.
 
Ingredients
 
Go organic! Makes one serving.
 
Lemon flesh from half a lemon
½ an avocado
2-3 large medjool dates
Scant ¼ tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
Juice of half a lemon
½ tsp lemon zest
1 cup coconut milk
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
1 Tbsp brown rice protein powder (or your own protein preference)
Touch of filtered water, only if needed
 
Blend until smooth and lick those lemony lips. Thanks TO!
