Lemon rind neutralizes green smoothie aftertaste

Winona

I’ve found that a lemon rind put in the vitamix will help a green smoothie be more palatable. This thread is just a suggestion for anyone who didn’t know. I saw this idea in a Victoria Boutenko video.

hm interesting. I find that lemon juice does the same thing for me. Gotta have it in all my green shakes!

Thanks Winona (and Superkat92). I didn’t know that. :)

I tried a recipe for a green drink with a whole unpeeled lemon last week—too much. it was soo bitter. I choked down about 1/4 of it and heaved all that nice kale down the disposal. So sad.

Good to know Izhpt.. I think cutting a thick, one inch slice of lemon rind from a whole is perfect for one smoothie.

hmmm I hope these are organic Lemons we are using. Otherwise you may be neutralizing but also ingesting some other chemical nasties. Weigh you options on this one.

I love putting carrots, avocado and olive oil in my savory (no fruit) green smoothies to improve the taste and texture. :)

Winona – I tried the lemon zest in my green smoothie this morning and it was really great. Thanks for that tip.
