The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianRaw lemonade smoothies are refreshing during the summer. There's something very cooling about that tart, tangy taste.
The color of this raw lemonade smoothie doesn't look very lemony due to the darkness of the dates, but the taste will be lemony-zingy!
I just love lemon-flavoured raw food recipes, like these raw lemon cookies.
Remember that you should always put the softest ingredients, such as bananas, in first. That way they're close to the blender's blade and make it easier to blend.
If you don't have a high-speed blender (such as a VitaMix) I might leave out the celery because celery is kind of stringy if not blended well. Also, if you don't have a high-speed blender make sure your dates are soft. If you have really hard dates, soak them in warmish water for half-an-hour or so.
Tip: If you don't have celery, try adding a handful of fresh parsley instead!
Enjoy!

I LOVE this smoothie. Seriously, I am literally sad when it's gone. I use parsley instead of celery and I add a touch of honey. Yummmm...

For this plan it says when you make the drink to drink immediately but I am at work during the day so can I make them ahead of time, freeze them and then defrost them so that it is ready by lunch? Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
No, I don't think think freezing is going to work for you.
You can bring them to work with you - just keep them in the fridge. They will probably get thick and congealy, so not quite ideal though. If you happen to have access to a blender at work, reblending them again will help "refresh" them.
Also, perhaps a big salad will be easier (and tastier) for you to bring to work?

Raw lemonade smoothie
I would have never thought to put 1/2 stalk of celery in a lemonade smoothie, but oh my! --- How delish!! I went to the store today to pick up the ingredients to make this one again! One of my most favorites yet! ♥

Did you use anything instead of the dates? The dates make it sweeter...

Raw lemonade smoothie
I cut the dates to 1/4 of a cup but I think next time I'll just use a few less dates . I try & watch my sugars but I loved this recipe .
